Warner Reveals DC Movie Release Dates, Casts The Flash

Warner Bros. opened the floodgate today on DC Comics movie news. They released dates for nine movies based on DC characters including TWO Justice League movies (both directed by Zack Snyder) and announced the casting of Ezra Miller as The Flash, who will appear in Justice League and his own movie. This puts to rest any rumors that Arrow or The Flash TV series will have anything to do with the DC movie universe.

Justice League will come out in 2017 only one year after Batman v Superman as rumors suggested. Suicide Squad, directed by David Ayer (Fury) is Warner’s second DC movie of 2016 following Batman v Superman. We should hear more about casting for the Squad soon.

There are two DC movies per year starting in 2016 until 2020. Wonder Woman leads the way in 2017 with a June release while Justice League will avoid the summer of 2017 and stake its claim as the biggest movie of the holiday season. The Flash will open in March 2018 which is smart since it is not in the middle of the summer onslaught and should find a good audience. Aquaman with Jason Momoa has a harder task with a July 2018 release especially if audiences aren’t accepting of the character in Justice League.

Shazam starring The Rock as Black Adam starts 2019 with Justice League Part 2 in June. 2020 seems to be the year that has the most questions with a solo Cyborg movie and a rebooted Green Lantern. Hopefully eight years is enough time to get the taste of the first film out of their mouths.

This is certainly a balls out move by Warner, but a necessary one if they are going to compete with Marvel in theaters. They have to stick to their guns, even if some of these movies are only moderate successes.

Check out the schedule below.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – March 25, 2016

Suicide Squad – August 5, 2016

Wonder Woman – June 23, 2017

Justice League Part One – November 17, 2017

The Flash – March 23, 2018

Aquaman – July 27, 2018

Shazam – April 5, 2019

Justice League Part Two – June 14, 2019

Cyborg – April 3, 2020

Green Lantern – June 19, 2020

Justice League Is Coming, Zack Snyder To Direct

Warner confirmed what we all suspected, that a Justice League movie is in the works. Not only that, but they announced that Zack Snyder will return to direct the movie.

Snyder is about to begin filming the Man of Steel sequel with Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and the just announced casting of Ray Fisher as Cyborg. All four are returning for Justice League.

After the announcement this past weekend, rumors began circulating that Justice League could be filmed back-to-back after the Man of Steel sequel for a possible 2017 release, only a year between movies. This has not been confirmed and Warner has given no indication of release date.

Now let speculation begin on who will make up the rest of the Justice League. With four members already cast will Warner include Green Lantern, The Flash and Aquaman or any combination of the three? Will the new Flash TV show keep him out of a Justice League movie? These are just a few of the questions that will come up.

I will gladly sacrifice Flash or Green Lantern to finally have a big screen Aquaman.

The ABC’s Of Nerdom

Artist Jeff Victor has created this great piece called The Ultimate Pop Culture ABC’s which is the best possible way to teach your children the alphabet.

I know I grew up associating B with Batman or R with Robocop. It’s probably why I grew up into the portrait of normality I am…and why I was sent home in third grade for saying “Bitches, leave”.

The Steampunk Justice League Is Here To Kick Ass And Look Fashionable

Artist Dan Panosian has brought members of the Justice League into the world of steampunk with these two pieces featuring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Cyborg.

Batman looks a little like pirate Batman from Grant Morrison’s The Return of Bruce Wayne. I do love Superman’s look as well. Cyborg’s character was custom fit for the steampunk world and is well represented in the top work looking like the Vitruvian Man.

See the other piece below and let us know what you think about the mix of styles.

Gal Gadot Cast As Wonder Woman In Batman Vs. Superman

Zack Snyder has found his Amazonian princess. Model and actress Gal Gadot has been cast as Wonder Woman in the sequel to Man of Steel which still does not have an official title so we keep going with Batman vs. Superman.

The director gave his thoughts on the casting of Gadot in this official statement:

“ Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.”

Gadot has been in the last three movies of the Fast & Furious franchise so she is used to sharing screen time with actors with muscles. The casting of Wonder Woman is one of the most important aspects of DC’s movie future and I am sure Snyder and everyone involved know that. I hope they can find a Stan Lee type cameo for Lynda Carter… just because.

Batman vs. Superman releases on July 15, 2015.
