Warner Bros. Canceled DC Movie About Iconic Batman Character

A Catwoman movie was quietly canceled by Warner Bros. Discovery, disappointing fans eager to see a fresh take on the iconic character.

Created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, Catwoman first debuted in DC Comics in the 1940’s issue Batman #1. Since then, she has been a central figure in many Batman and DC storylines, portrayed in live-action by stars such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway, Zoë Kravitz, and more.

### What Do We Know About Warner Bros.’ Canceled Catwoman Movie?

According to DC Film News, Swaybox Studios—the production company currently working on the animated *Dynamic Duo* movie for DC Studios—was developing a Catwoman film that was canceled back in 2022. This project would have focused on a younger Selina Kyle, exploring her childhood.

In a now-deleted 2025 interview with Biz New Orleans, Swaybox’s Arthur Mintz revealed, “We were greenlit to make a project for HBO Max, a feature film based on Catwoman as a kid.” However, just three months into development, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav decided to slow down content production for streaming platforms, leading to the cancellation of the Catwoman project. Mintz added, “He canceled 42 projects, including ours.”

### Is There Any Hope for the Catwoman Project?

There is a silver lining. Matt Reeves, director of *The Batman*, reportedly saw some footage from the Catwoman movie. After putting together a sizzle reel and presenting it to Zaslav, the executive liked what he saw but mentioned that the project needed a “larger story.”

Whether this means the Catwoman film could be revived remains uncertain.

### What’s Next for Catwoman and DC Animated Movies?

The upcoming *Dynamic Duo* animated movie is set to focus on younger versions of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. This raises the possibility that Selina Kyle could appear in the film. It’s also conceivable that elements from the canceled Catwoman project might be retooled and integrated into *Dynamic Duo*.

For now, however, audiences should not hold their breath for Swaybox’s Catwoman prequel movie to hit the screen anytime soon. Fans will have to wait and see if the character’s story finds a new home in future DC projects.
