Warner Bros. Outlines their DC Lineup For the Next 5 Years!

Marvel has been revolutionizing the concept of a movie franchise since 2008 with the productions of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. While these were not the first Marvel movies, they marked the beginning of the Marvel tapestry that they have interwoven with secrets, surprises, and foreshadowing to create an awe-inspiring world. It was only a matter of time before DC followed suit. With an equally powerful and interesting range of superheroes, Warner Bros. is bringing the DC comic heroes to the big screen in what looks to be a very impressive and intentional way. Like Marvel, some DC heroes have already made it to film as extraneous projects, but also like Marvel, it looks like Warner Bros. is going to either reboot or reimagen those heroes and fit them into the new order. An extensive lineup of movies are set to be released systematically over the next 5 years:

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - 2016

Suicide Squad - 2016

Wonder Woman - 2017

Justice League - 2017

The Flash - 2018

Aquaman - 2018

Shazam - 2019

Justice League 2 - 2019

In addition to those movies, a number of standalone movies are being developed involving Green Lantern, Superman, Batman, and Cyborg.

If you don't know who half of these heroes are yet, don't worry, Warner Bros. won't let you remain in the dark for long! And if superheroes aren't your thing, they've got three more Lego movies coming our way (Lego Ninjago, Lego Batman, and The Lego Movie 2). So buckle up and get a movie theater rewards card, because these next years are going to be full of action that you won't want to miss!
