Involvement with LA!LA!/Film Gate
In March 2014, Film Gate Studios announced that they had ordered a pilot tentatively titled 'Black Canary', based on the character from DC Comics. It was revealed to be a mini-series and possibly based on the version of the character in the 'Arrow' television series. Film Gate revealed that Black Canary may be part of a co-production between studios in which several mini-series based on DC characters would be written to lead into a Justice League event. The same week, production details leaked revealing the tentative title of this series was 'Justice League: Decimation'. Film Gate refused to comment.

In June 2014, Ciaran Graham, writer of the project, revealed that both the Black Canary series, as well as the possibility of sibling shows and a Justice League crossover, had been abandoned and Film Gate would instead continue on original projects, as well as those set in the Whedon and Marvel Universes. He revealed that the other mini-series being considered were Superman, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Green Lantern and Aquaman.
