DC List Exclusions

Titles researched for the DC List but deliberately left out, with the reason for each, kept so the decisions can be revisited. Categories excluded by rule: theme-park attraction films; interactive titles and games without an authoritative linear version; unofficial productions that aren't especially notable; ordinary commercials, product demonstrations and brief social-media clips; and items outside the franchise's scope. (Adult-film parodies are excluded and not recorded.)

Rows shaded like this are unofficial productions.
