That seems to be the case for every film not named Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman and Aquaman.
Almost all of the other films have writers and directors attached though.
But yeah, for these DCEU projects, the step between "discussion stage" and "attaching writers/directors" isn't big. It's the next stage that is tricky (i.e. actually getting a script approved and starting production). But Aquaman's hopeful success should make the direction clearer for WB.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
--Lord Alfred Tennyson--
I have a feeling a lot of the films announced before Walter Hamada came on board are likely DOA and the new projects being announced are more likely to happen.
Having a producer and writer attached seems to increase a projects chances of happening (ie like BOP and Shazam).
Done with DC. Can't handle the constant whiplash! Time to go on a hiatus!
DCEU sure loves announcing proposed movie projects. Wonder how long it be before every IP has been announced?

Back in 2014, Zack and Deborah Snyder (plus producer Charles Roven) had a plan, a movie slate and a clear direction for the DCEU. Now, Warner Bros' current approach for DC movies is "throw everything at wall and see what sticks". (sigh)

Unfortunately that vision wasn't flying in China at all and in other territories, wasn't as huge as films starring DC's marquee characters should be.
Even if we ignore critic reactions and toxic fandom wars, ultimately making movies is a business. So if the profits keep decreasing, the vision has to be abandoned unless you want to go down with it.
The DC universe has always been incredibly diverse with rich magic, mythology and alien science roots, so it can sustain having many tones and themes. People would argue that Sony is "throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks" too and that is working excellently for them so far with Venom and if critic reactions are anything to go by, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.Now, Warner Bros' current approach for DC movies is "throw everything at wall and see what sticks". (sigh)
Supergirl and batgirl films hinted at again also.

Also the whole script for aquaman has been leaked online so if you don't want spoilers be careful!
I’m pretty sure we’ve heard the Zatana thing awhile ago. There’s just so many of them now that it’s hard to keep track.
