Canceled Superhero Movies We Are So Glad We Never Had To See

For the last 18 years or so, superhero movies have reigned supreme in theaters. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Marvel or DC Comics fan. There’s something for everyone all year round. But it wasn’t always that way.

Moves based on comics used to be, by and large, bottom-of-the-barrel entertainment. And there were a lot of stinkers that saw the light of day.

But there were some superhero movies, including planned sequels, that were so bad they wound up becoming canceled superhero movies we’ll just never get to see. Ever. And thank goodness for that.

“Marvel’s Inhumans”

The film was about a royal family of mutants called Inhumans who lived on the moon, until a military coup forced them to escape to Earth. The film was scrapped, but fortunately, they turned it into an 8-episode series. Sadly, ratings suggest, this show’s a goner!

“Plastic Man”

The DC Comics character had a unique body chemistry that allowed him to stretch and contort, so naturally, the Wachowski brothers had toyed with the idea of a live-action movie played by Keanu Reeves. But sadly, DC felt the movie was a bit of a stretch, and they axed it.

“Blade III,” Alternate Sequel

We all know that a 3rd movie was made, and featured a goofy storyline and an incarnation of Dracula. But David Goyer planned a different sequel, one where vampires reigned supreme and humans were forced into camps to have their blood harvested for the vamp overlords.

“Batman 3”

Had Tim Burton remained onboard for the third in the original Batman film series, the movie would have seen Michael Keaton reprising his role, and Marlan Wayans playing Robin, instead of Chris O’Donnell. Instead the studio traded Burton’s goth style with Schumacher’s sh*tty neon sequel.
