Kevin Smith Confirms Strange Adventures is Dead, Reveals His Bizarro Story for the Show
Smith revealed the cancellation as part of a broader geek news segment in which he spoke about this week's cancellation of projects like Batgirl and Scoob!: Holiday Haunt. Along the way, he suggested that the casting he had considered for the short was Nicolas Cage."Both of these original DC properties we'll be creating for HBO Max will be unlike anything seen on television," Berlanti said of Strange Adventures and the Green Lantern show when the two were announced. "An anthology series of cautionary tales set in a world where superpowers exist, and, in what promises to be our biggest DC show ever made, we will be going to space with a Green Lantern television series, but I can't reveal any more about that just yet."To read more go here and to see the kevin smith clip as well.There has been no official word yet on Green Lantern, but most fans assume it will be another casualty of the Warner Bros. Discovery regime. Smith agrees, but cautioned listeners that he had no inside information and was just going on gut feeling. Smith likely torpedoed any chances he has of working with WBD in the near future, joining the chorus of voices that decried Warner Bros. Discovery and CEO David Zaslav's apparent disdain for HBO Max and blasting the company for axing projects that were already in post-production.

Kevin Smith Updates HBO Max's Strange Adventures & Green Lantern
To read more and see clip here instead go here.Speaking with his co-host Ralph Garman about the controversy surrounding the recent run of HBO Max decision, Smith revealed that he and Eric Carrasco were tapped about two years ago to write an episode of "Strange Adventures" that would've focused on the secret origin of Bizarro and feature Jimmy Olsen & Perry White. Smith goes on the describe how the episode would play out (definitely worth a listen because it sounds great) and reveals that they wanted to approach Nicolas Cage to play Bizarro. During the conversation, we also learned that the series was meant to serve as an anthology series to introduce DCU characters that weren't Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman.
The Warner Bros team in charge at the time was apparently willing to spend $16-$20M per episode and had creative team pairings working up scripts to submit to make up the first season. But then Smith dropped the hammer, revealing that he was given a heads-up by Carrasco ("'Strange Adventures' is officially dead") that the project wasn't moving forward. And then, though he admits he doesn't know it for a fact, Smith is pretty much feeling that it's the same thing for the "Green Lantern" series. Here's a look at the clip:

Now the green lantern movie could still happen since green lantern is one of the original members of the justice league and a major major superhero for dc, but the hbo max show?most likely not so far.
