Stand-alone 'Batman' and 'Superman' movies
are being developed along with the 10 superhero
projects Warner Bros. announced today.
Warner Bros. dropped a major bombshell
announcement today, revealing 10 DC Comics
movies that will be released between 2016 and
2020, which includes a two-part Justice League
movie and solo adventures for Wonder Woman,
The Flash, Aquaman , Shazam!, Cyborg and
Green Lantern . Buried within that news lies the
announcement that stand-alone Batman and
Superman movies are being planned as well, we
just don't know when. They will be released
before 2020, though.
Here's the full quote from Warner Bros.' press
release below.
"And, in a massive expansion of the Studio's DC
Entertainment-branded content, Warner Bros.
Pictures and New Line Cinema will release a
slate of at least 10 movies-as well as stand-
alone Batman and Superman films-from 2016
through 2020 that expands this prized universe
of characters."
Naturally, the stand-alone Superman will most
likely be a straight-up sequel to Man of Steel ,
with Henry Cavill returning as Clark Kent/
Superman/Kal-el. The studio has two movies
slated for each year between 2016 and 2020,
but it isn't known when this Man of Steel
sequel may hit theaters.
The Batman news doesn't come as much of a
surprise either, since we reported in June that
Warner Bros. is planning a stand-alone
adventure with Ben Affleck's Batman for 2019.
As it stands right now, per today's
announcement, the studio will be releasing
Shazam! and Justice League in 2019, with those
films likely taking the April 5, 2019 and June 14,
2019 release dates that were revealed in
August. If this new Batman movie is coming in
2019, it seems possible the studio could aim for
either a late summer or November/December
holiday release.
Take a look at the studio's full release slate of
10 DC Comics movies slated for release
between 2016 and 2010, which does not include
the stand-alone Batman and Superman movies.
The official Warner Bros. press release from
today did not include specific release dates, but
they all line up with the release dates handed
out back in August.
