As it stands, 2016 is shaping up to be a huge year at the box office.

What we have here are the known release dates and information relating to all of the currently announced slate of DC/WB films.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – March 25, 2016
“Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’ most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.” Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Henry Cavil as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, and is directed by Man of Steel‘s Zack Snyder.
Suicide Squad – August 5, 2016
“It feels good to be bad…” Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated super villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?” Suicide Squad‘s huge cast includes Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, Adam Beach as Slipknot and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller.

Rob Schrab will direct The LEGO Movie sequel — his first feature film directing credit — though he has plenty of experience behind the camera on Community, The Mindy Project, and Parks and Recreation, though it’s possible you may know him for writing and illustrating the indie classic comic book, “Scud: The Disposable Assassin.” No word yet as to which voice actors will be back for the sequel, but it’s very likely Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, and Elizabeth Banks will reprise their roles.
