And just like that, James Gunn and Peter Safran are done as the bosses at DC Studios. Fans are reeling from the news – some are bummed out, some are psyched, and others just have whiplash from the constant moves at the studio (and its parent, Warner Bros.) over the past decade. But one of the biggest questions that has immediately come to mind for most of us is what does this mean for the slate of movies and TV shows that the co-CEOs already had in the works?

Let’s not forget, the corporate overseers at Warner Bros. have dumped projects in the past, even when they were high-profile movies that had already been shot, like Coyote vs. Acme and, most infamously, Batgirl, a film that to this day has still not seen the light of day.

Is it possible that movies and series already in production under Gunn and Safran could now get the Batgirl treatment, be it for tax reasons, cost-saving measures, or even a creative overhaul in terms of the bigger DCU mission statement under new management? Certainly anything is possible these days in a world where Skydance somehow now owns Paramount and Warner Bros.! Let’s look at some of the key projects that we know were pretty far along in development at the time of the Gunn/Safran announcement, and what their chances of actually being released are.

And a quick note: Typically, specific production timelines on movies and TV shows are not public information, but reports from reputable outlets that cover the industry will often have reliable information on a project’s status.
