10 Superhero Films You Won't Believe Could Have Happened
8. David Goyer's Green Arrow: Escape From Super Max
As a writer and storyteller, David Goyer gave us great films, like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. On the other hand, he gave us garbage like Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. As a director, he is behind such abominations as Blade: Trinity and The Unborn.
Back in 2008, Goyer was set to write and direct a Green Arrow film - Green Arrow: Escape from Super Max - which would've seen the Emerald Archer (possibly played by Matt Damon, according to Umberto Gonzalez) framed for the assassination of a high-ranking government official.
He was sentenced to serve the rest of his life in a prison full of superpowered beings, and the plot would've revolved around him teaming up with several villains - like Icicle, Tattoo Man, and Pied Piper - to escape said prison (which also had superpowers, of sorts, in an effort to neutralize the powers of its prisoners).
The film would've featured cameos by the Riddler, Lex Luthor, and Amanda Waller, as well as a sly reference to the Joker.
It's a shame we'll never get to see this. We'll never know how it would've turned out, but it DOES sound pretty damn entertaining.
