* In the first issues of the ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' story arc, writer Tony Bedard started several subplots up, but he had not the chance to develop them. [[http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com.es/2014/09/tony-bedard-interview.html He revealed his plans in an interview, though]]:
-->'''Anj:''' You sowed the seeds of future plotlines which may never come to fruition. Can you tell us what you were planning with Blaze? Siobhan? Michael? Shay Veritas?\\
'''TONY:''' I was going to have Blaze create a trio of henchgirls called the Furies. Remember Siobhan’s roommate and her two friends? They were all orphaned in superhero battles and had sworn themselves to finding a way to make super-people pay. They were going to beat Supergirl and take her back to Blaze’s home dimension. Hilarity would ensue. I wanted to get Siobhan in there more, to make her and Kara a team. I had one issue where the newly Red Lanterned Kara fights Silver Banshee, and I contrasted their fight with flashbacks of Kara and Siobhan just having fun roommate moments. That remains one of my favorite things from the run: just letting her have a friend. Michael returns in my final issue, and we’ll see if they do anything with him after that. If not, it was enough that Kara met a guy who had every reason to hate life and yet retained a positive outlook. He was in many ways a good role model for her, and he didn’t want to trick or use her, which is nice for a change. And Shay I wanted to keep playing sort of mysterious. Is she really a friend to Supergirl, or does she view her as another science project? Shay’s still a bit of a cypher to me, which is okay if she’s played for mystery. But I liked doing scenes of her staff at the Block talking about what it’s like being stuck there, having to wear her face, alternating between admiration and resentment. It gave the whole Block set-up a little complexity.

* In the first issues of the ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' story arc, writer Tony Bedard started several subplots up, but he had not the chance to develop them. [[http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com.es/2014/09/tony-bedard-interview.html He revealed his plans in an interview, though]]:
--->'''Anj:''' You sowed the seeds of future plotlines which may never come to fruition. Can you tell us what you were planning with Blaze? Siobhan? Michael? Shay Veritas?\\
'''TONY:''' I was going to have Blaze create a trio of henchgirls called the Furies. Remember Siobhan’s roommate and her two friends? They were all orphaned in superhero battles and had sworn themselves to finding a way to make super-people pay. They were going to beat Supergirl and take her back to Blaze’s home dimension. Hilarity would ensue. I wanted to get Siobhan in there more, to make her and Kara a team. I had one issue where the newly Red Lanterned Kara fights Silver Banshee, and I contrasted their fight with flashbacks of Kara and Siobhan just having fun roommate moments. That remains one of my favorite things from the run: just letting her have a friend. Michael returns in my final issue, and we’ll see if they do anything with him after that. If not, it was enough that Kara met a guy who had every reason to hate life and yet retained a positive outlook. He was in many ways a good role model for her, and he didn’t want to trick or use her, which is nice for a change. And Shay I wanted to keep playing sort of mysterious. Is she really a friend to Supergirl, or does she view her as another science project? Shay’s still a bit of a cypher to me, which is okay if she’s played for mystery. But I liked doing scenes of her staff at the Block talking about what it’s like being stuck there, having to wear her face, alternating between admiration and resentment. It gave the whole Block set-up a little complexity.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Bizarrogirl}}'', Superwoman's cell gets damaged when Bizarrogirl's ship crash-lands, implying she might get loose in the future. Sterling Gates confirmed she was supposed to get free and join a "Supergirl Revenge Squad" kind of villain team, but that subplot was dropped when he left the book and forgotten when Flashpoint rebooted the universe.
* ''ComicBook/SupermanGrounded'' went through this largely due to writer J. Michael Stracynski leaving the book about halfway in. Chris Roberson took over in the second half, and largely retooled the arc to abandon Stracynski's original premise.
* Peter J. Tomasi's run was cut short when Brian Michael Bendis signed onto DC and was given the ''Superman'' titles. Some things were dropped because of this.
** The entire series hinted that Jonathan Kent and his neighbour Kathy Brandon were going to get together, with her being present for his significant moments and the two fighting off Manchester Black together... she disappears when Bendis started writing.
** When Jonathan Kent, Kathy Brandon and Damian Wayne are involved in a fight with Manchester Black that results in time energy escaping and giving them visions, we see a vision of a square Earth and Damian Wayne as Batman, Jonathan Kent as Superman and an adult Kathy. The run had previously already featured a future where Damian and Jon apparently died, after Damian did ''something'' to Jon that Future Tim Drake considered monstrous, with Future Damian being revealed to have survived Future Tim's attempt on his life. This is never explained and Jon, under Bendis, does not interact with Damian nearly as much as he did under Tomasi.
