Yesterday we presented you with list of all of the Marvel movies that are scheduled to be released, it is only fair that we give DC equal representation. As it stands, 2016 is shaping up to be a huge year at the box office. Two major DC Comics-based releases are headed our way in the form of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, but that’s just the start of a veritable explosion of comic book-based films from Warner Bros.and DC Entertainment. ComicBookResources.com is reporting that these films will set the stage for almost a dozen more currently on the schedule through 2020, including a standalone Wonder Woman movie and two Justice League films as well as plenty of solo action featuring your favorite heroes.
What we have here are the known release dates and information relating to all of the currently announced slate of DC/WB films. Because this is a complete look at the film’s with confirmed release dates, we haven’t covered movies like the untitled Batman movie starring and directed by Ben Affleck or the long-in-the-works Justice League Dark film.
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.

We’re still not sure exactly what exactly the film will be about, but principle photography is officially underway on “Wonder Woman.” Chris Pine and Gal Gadot were also recently spotted on set in London, dressed in period clothes from the first World War. Pine is officially listed as Captain Steve Trevor, though it’s possible he plays the modern day Steve Trevor’s grandfather, whom Diana meets during WWI.

Building on the success of the first LEGO Movie, Phil Lord and Chris Miller are returning to write and produce the second installment of the “LEGO” franchise. 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.
