Today Warner Bros and DC Comics have hit the film and comic book world with some massive news. Between 2016 and 2020 they will be releasing at least 10 new superhero movies including new entries for Superman, Batman, and the Justice League. The move seems like a challenge to Disney and Marvel’s recent success at the box office with immense projects like X-Men: Years of Future Past and Ironman 3.
The wave of DC superhero films will kick off with Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice which will be released in 2016. The film will also feature appearances from the characters of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and The Flash.
Warner Bros has stated: “Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema will release a slate of at least 10 movies – as well as stand-along Batman and Superman films – from 2016 through 2020 that expands this prized universe of characters”.
