A Catwoman<\/a><\/strong> movie was quietly canceled by Warner Bros. Discovery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, the Catwoman character first debuted in DC Comics in 1940\u2019s Batman #1. She has since been the focus of many Batman<\/a> and DC<\/a> stories, having been portrayed in live-action by stars such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway, Zo\u00eb Kravitz, and more.<\/p>\n

What do we know about the canceled Catwoman movie?<\/p>\n

Per DC Film News<\/a>, Swaybox Studios \u2014 the production company now working on the animated Dynamic Duo<\/a> movie for DC Studios<\/a> \u2014 was developing a Catwoman film that was canceled back in 2022. It would have focused on a younger Selina Kyle when she was a child.<\/p>\n

According to ComicBookMovie<\/a>, Swaybox\u2019s Arthur\u00a0Mitnz said in a now-deleted 2025 interview with Biz New Orleans, \u201cWe were greenlit to make a project for HBO Max<\/a>, a feature film based on Catwoman as a kid.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Three months into development, Warner Bros. Discovery\u2019s David Zaslav wanted to slow down the amount of content that was being made for streaming and gave the Catwoman project the axe.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe canceled 42 projects, including ours,\u201d Mintz said.<\/p>\n

That being said, there is some good news. The Batman director Matt Reeves saw some footage from the Catwoman movie and, after putting together a sizzle reel, showed it to Zaslav liked what he saw, but reportedly said that the project needed a \u201clarger story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether or not that means the project could ever be resurrected is unclear. The Dynamic Duo movie is also set to focus on young versions of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd; meaning, there\u2019s a chance that Selina could show up in that film, and whatever was being developed for the Catwoman movie could be retooled to fit into Dynamic Duo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At this time, however, it doesn\u2019t sound like audiences should be holding their breath to see Swaybox\u2019s Catwoman prequel movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Catwoman movie was quietly canceled by Warner Bros.
