7. Justice League: Mortal

Justice League

This is a comic book movie which may have actually been pretty good has it been made, but we’re mostly glad it never happened because of what its success would have meant for the superhero genre.

The George Miller helmed project would have been created with motion capture versions of the heroes (think Beowulf and The Polar Express) and a cast was assembled which included Armie Hammer as Batman, D.J. Cotrona as Superman, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Common as Green Lantern, Adam Brody as the Flash, Santiago Cabrera as Aquaman, and Hugh Keays-Byrne as the Martian Manhunter.

As cool as it sounded, a ridiculously high budget and the writers strike put an end to this movie before it got particularly far, and it’s probably for the best. After all, who really wants a motion capture Justice League in preference of a live-action one?
