* ''Film/{{The Batman|2022}}'' was originally going to be part of the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse, with Creator/BenAffleck, Creator/JeremyIrons, Creator/JKSimmons and Creator/JoeManganiello reprising their respective roles as Batman, Alfred, Commissioner Gordon and Comicbook/{{Deathstroke}} from ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' and ''Film/{{Justice|League 2017}} [[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague League]]''. However, due to Affeck's departure from directing duties then from the role, the project was reconfigured into a new continuity. The film now stars Creator/RobertPattinson as Batman, Creator/AndySerkis as Alfred and Creator/JeffreyWright as Gordon. Affleck is still expected to come back in the DCEU however, in the ''Flash'' film more precisely.
* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'':
** The original American dub of ''Film/GodzillaRaidsAgain'' tries to modify itself into a standalone movie retitled ''Gigantis, the Fire Monster'' with heavily modified footage, soundtrack, and dialogue. Originally, it was going to be a full remake with the same effects known as ''The Volcano Monsters'' but the studio responsible went bankrupt before filming started.

* ''Series/{{Helstrom}}'': Originally planned to be part of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, the changing of the guard at Marvel Television caused this series to instead be a completely standalone Creator/MarvelComics adaptation with no official connections to the MCU. The continuity that the series is set in was unofficially dubbed [=Earth-TRN836=], rather than the MCU's Earth-199999.
* ''Series/{{K9}}'' was the only Franchise/{{Whoniverse}} show not to ever reference or be referenced by the other TV series in the franchise, as it was licensed by Bob Baker, the character's co-creator who owned the rights to him, with no involvement or permission from the BBC.
* Horribly subverted by the fan creation rules of ''Franchise/StarTrek''. [[http://www.startrek.com/fan-films According to rule 9]], once a fan film starts in the concept of a ''Star Trek'' fanwork, it can essentially never be divorced from the original franchise, even if the actual franchise imagery and terms are removed and replaced.

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueCrisisOnTwoEarths'' was originally meant as a bridge between ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' and ''Justice League Unlimited'' that would show how things evolved post-Thanagar invasion and how the Justice League went from only seven members to HeroesUnlimited. However, timing problems messed that up so the idea was shelved until it was completely repackaged as one of the WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies. Some traces still remain, however: the League are building a new Watchtower at the start of the film, the Flash inherits DCAU Wally West's personality, Wonder Woman gains her invisible jet (which she did not have in JL but had in JLU), and the film ends with the League acknowledging they need to expand their ranks.
