Updated October 17, 2021, with new details from DC FanDome 2021.
Much like the DC Comics Multiverse itself, WarnerMedia's plans for a film Multiverse are always changing. Projects are announced, just then seemingly become into hibernation. The stalwart of the line, Batman, always gets its movies made while Wonder Woman seems poised to join the Night Knight every bit a reliable franchise. Superman, sadly, is defenseless between the worlds of reboots and rival ideas.
Nevertheless, DC Films chief Walter Hamada recently revealed a programme to release vi DC-related films a year in the coming decade – 4 volition go far in theaters while ii will be made exclusively for HBO Max. The library is certainly deep enough to back up such an try. And thanks to Hamada embracing the multiverse concept, it seems plans are in place for a second Batman saga to coincide with Matt Reeves' upcoming The Batman. It all means DC fans will get a lot of content in the adjacent x years.

The change is the latest shockwave in the frequently incredible story of Warner Bros.' attempts to bring the DC Multiverse to the screen. So before we take a look at the latest changes, permit's become back to the beginning of WB's ambitious plans for its extended universe…
In 2014, Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Entertainment announced a series of movies based on DC Comics characters. The original schedule included a 2-office Justice League project and at to the lowest degree two films a yr through 2020. Things did not go co-ordinate to program, with Justice League compressing its story into one film and projects like Flash experiencing constant delays. Despite projects shifting around the slate – and the critical backfire against Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League – the original 2014 primary program has been executed for the most part, with just 2018 missing a 2d DC-derived movie and Cyborg disappearing entirely. And even as features like Aquaman and Shazam! went into product, the studio never stopped trying to get new projects off the footing utilizing the comic book characters and the universe initiated by 2013'due south Human being of Steel. The next several years will deliver a number of projects from that original slate and some surprises in the form ofAquaman 2andThe New Gods.On the TV/streaming front, Zack Snyder'southward cut ofJustice League is finally bachelor on HBO Max.
For now, the post-obit represents everything we know about those projects and their identify in the DC Films universe, likewise as a few DC adaptations that volition exist separate from the universe.

Coming Before long
In that location is a lot that is uncertain about which DC Comics characters are coming to the big screen, who's bringing them there, and in what order — but nothing is uncertain about these first movies. They're in production, or in pre- or post-production, and we know exactly when they will exist hitting theaters. (At least, we know thelatestdates, and will update as those change with COVID-nineteen leaving the landscape a little uncertain.)
The Batman
Release Date:March 4, 2022
What We Know: War for the Planet of the Apes ' Matt Reeves took over directing duties onThe Batmanpost-obit the deviation of Ben Affleck, who intended to star, co-write, and direct. Creative differences saw his office reduced to star even every bit his personal problems overshadowed the ongoing question about his continued involvement. Late in January of 2019, Warner Bros. announced a release date while Affleck definitively stated he was leaving the cape and cowl behind. (Though not sodefinitively, if you skip down to our latest update onFlash). A new human behind the mask emerged that May when Robert Pattinson took over the function. That casting choice confirmed the story would revolve around a younger Batman, and Reeves has confirmed that, telling DC FanDome information technology will be set during Yr Two when a series killer is stalking Gotham. Across tardily summer and early on Fall, the cast began to circular out with Jeffrey Wright joining up as Commissioner Gordon, Paul Dano taking on The Riddler, and Zoe Kravitz signing on as Catwoman. In November, word broke indicating Colin Farrell would play The Penguin and Andy Serkis would exist the new face of Alfred Pennyworth. Other cast members include Peter Sarsgaard as District Attorney Gil Colson, Alex Ferns equally Commissioner Pete Fell, John Turturro as Falcone, and Jayme Lawson as Bella Reál. Rumors as well suggest a new Two-Face will also emerge. Stacking the film with well-nigh all of the notable Batman villains is something of a change for modern Batman movies, which by and large only use two at a fourth dimension – although Batman Begins featured a whopping five when you count lesser known characters similar Reddish Falcone, Joe Chill, and Victor Zsasz alongside The Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul. Despite a fellow member of the crew – allegedly star Robert Pattinson himself – coming down with the coronavirus, the film seemed poised to hold its October 2021 release date until Dune took its slot during a subsequent change to the calendar. The moving-picture show is at present scheduled for March of 2022. During DC FanDome in October of 2021, Warner Bros. released a 2nd trailer for the motion picture, featuring a greater accent on Catwoman and the Riddler. Additionally, Reeves, Pattinson, and Kravitz offered some comments almost the picture, with Kravitz calling her Catwoman someone who "wants to fight for those who don't have someone." Reeves added that the motion picture volition characteristic a number of "iconic" moments with the character even if she doesn't map ane:1 to comic volume Catwoman.

How Information technology Fits in the DC Multiverse: The project's ties to the established film continuity are questionable. Late in 2018, rumors began to sally that Reeves' vision for the moving picture set up itoutsidetheMan of Steeluniverse equally a "standalone" story, like Joker. The studio moved quickly to quash the rumors, simply it now seems clear the movie volition be in its own universe with a HBO Max spin-off series already in development.
Blackness Adam

Release Appointment: July 29, 2022
What We Know: After listening to fans when he was initially interested inShazam!, Johnson signed on to star in a picture show featuring that graphic symbol's greatest nemesis, Black Adam. Jaume Collet-Serra volition straight from a script by Adam Sztykiel, with Noah Centineo on board as well to play Albert Rothstein/Atom Smasher, whose superpower is his super strength and ability to grow…huge. At DC FanDome, Johnson showed 2 clips. One, produced by Jim Lee and Boss Logic which gave fans a quick rundown of the character's origins – formerly enslaved, he'due south in the pursuit of Justice the Blackness Adam style. The other introduced the idea of the Justice Society of America, and revealed that Hawkman, Medico Fate, Cyclone, and Atom Smasher would feature in the film. In late September 2020, Aldis Hodge emerged every bit Hawkman, merely the news was before long tempered as the film lost its Dec 22, 2021 release date entirely during the shuffling of Warner Bros.' release slate ten days later. As for most of the project's existence, information technology is once again unclear when it will be released. Only with members of the bandage already assembled, it is possible the film will arrive in 2023. Aiding this possibility: Sarah Shahi joined the cast in October with a role described every bit both a professor and freedom fighter. In the months post-obit, Quintessa Swindell joined the bandage as JSAer Cyclone and Marwan Kenzari signed upward for an as-nonetheless undisclosed office; Pierce Brosnan volition star as Dr. Fate. Additional cast members include Bodhi Sabongui and James Cusati-Moyer. In March 2021, a release date was finally announced, with Johnson taking over billboards in Times Square to reveal the picture show will release July 29, 2022. In early June, Shahi finally confirmed her character is Adrianna Tomaz – or some version of the DC character. The next month, Johnson released a photo teasing his Blackness Adam trunk suit and, afterward in July, announced he wrapped filming via his Instagram. A brief prune featuring the resurrection of Black Adam was released during the 2021 DC FanDome in October, suggesting the character may not exist much of a morning person. A backside-the-scenes reel besides offered a few glimpses of Dr. Fate'south helmet and Adam's costume.

How It Fits in the DC Multiverse: Black Adam is the archenemy of Shazam, so their motion-picture show worlds are definitely connected. Only he is likewise a fairly complicated anti-hero when dealing with anyone else. Heroic one moment and vicious the next, Adam could emerge equally the powerful leader of his own country – an thought directly from the comic books. At DC FanDome, Johnson hinted that the picture could feature an appearance from Superman, and sent a warning to all those in the Justice League: "The hierarchy of ability in the DC Universe is nigh to change."
The Wink

Release Date:November 4, 2022
What We Know: AFlashflick starring Ezra Miller equally the Barry Allen featured inJustice Leagueis finally getting made. Subsequently losing multiple directors – among them, Seth Grahame-Smith and Rick Famuyiwa – and undergoing a title alter fromThe Wink toFlashpoint and back again, the nature of the film is finally coming into focus as we've learned that Allen will crash through multiple dimensions to modify his female parent's fate in an adaptation of DC's ambitious 2011 Flashpoint upshot comic book series, and come across various versions of some of DC's biggest heroes forth the style.It helmer Andy Muschietti signed on equally the project's fifth director in July, and at DC FanDome revealed a first expect at concept fine art for Allen'south new suit, which features embedded low-cal and was fabricated by Bruce Wayne. And someone else has signed on, too. Ben Affleck volition render in a small, cameo-way role every bit the version of Batman we've seen inJustice League, while Michael Keaton returns, too, every bit the Batman we met in 1989'sBatman; Muschietti toldVanity Off-whitethat Keaton's function is "substantial." Rudy Mancuso volition also appear in an every bit-yet undisclosed role. In March of 2021, Kiersey Clemons, who signed on to play Iris W dorsum when Famuyiwa was going to straight, recommitted to project. Additionally, give-and-take broke soon after indicating Maribel Verdú will play Barry'due south mother Nora, merely due to scheduling conflicts, Billy Crudup will not reprise his Justice League part as Barry's father Henry. Ron Livingston will play the function instead. Michael Keaton, later suggesting he might exit the project, recommitted late in the summertime. His appearance in the moving picture was too teased during a sizzle reel for the moving-picture show at DC FanDome 2021, which likewise featured a great look at Barry's new suit and a commencement glimpse at Sasha Calle'southward Supergirl.
How It Fits in the DC Multiverse: With the story focusing on the Flashpointstoryline – in which Barry's attempt to relieve his mother wrecks the universe – the film will characteristic Ben Affleck equally the Batman, besides as Michael Keaton, and mayinclude other familiar faces. A promo package at DC FanDome also suggested Allen may encounter DC heroes from TV and streaming, with multiple clips ofWatchmenplaying as the panel discussed the Flashpoint possibilities. And considering how the original Flashpoint comic book radically altered the DC Comics universe, the film may bring about the end of the DCEU as nosotros knew it.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Release Date:December 16, 2022
What Nosotros Know: James Wan returns to directly the sequel. According to reports following the offset film's stunning box office debut in December of 2018, the studio wanted Wan to develop the projection while he decided whether or not to direct. David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, a co-writer on the get-go movie, presently emerged to write the follow-up, and Warner Bros. set it for a 2022 release at the end of February last year. Presumably, any sequel storyline volition characteristic the render of Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and his thirst for revenge. We're too going to presume a wedding between Arthur (Jason Momoa) and Mera (Amber Heard) will occur. Wan volition direct the sequel after completing work on the horror motion-picture show Cancerous, due out later this year, and told DC FanDome that the flick volition have a more serious tone compared with the original, and that new worlds will be explored. At the same panel, he was joined by Patrick Wilson, and the pair confirmed that Ocean Primary will return for the sequel. For the moment, the film is even so expected to be the DC vacation release of 2022 – a year now packed full of films based on comic book characters from Warner Bros. and other studios. And because The Flash is expected in theaters a month earlier, Aquaman 2 may switch to a 2023 release. In early June 2021, director James Wan revealed the title of the film. A behind-the-scenes video showcased during October 2021's DC FanDome unveiled a new expect at Black Manta's updated costume and a blackness version of Arthur's armor.
How Information technology Fits in the DC Multiverse: Aquaman's seas presumably at present be in a universe all their own. That said, it is always possible for one of the characters to seek his help in a stinger scene.
Shazam: Fury of the Gods
(Photo past DC)
Release Date: June 2, 2023
What We Know:Well, every bit of DC FanDome, we know that the title of the movie will beFury of the Gods, and that Sinbad – who through the Mandela Effect will e'er be associated with the franchise –maybe in it. Other than that, not much. What wedoknow is that managing director David F. Sandberg is back, along with star Zachary Levy and co-stars Asher Angel and Jack Dylan Grazer. The credits stinger at the finish ofShazam! revealed our hero could be nigh to confront Mister Listen – ane of the tiniest but near powerful villains in the DC catechism. Nosotros also know the pic will exist the first of Warner Bros.' DC offerings in 2023 – for the moment – thanks to the October 2020 scheduling shift. In February of 2021, Rachel Zegler joined the production in a reportedly fundamental role, while it'southward also been appear Helen Mirren volition play villain Hespera, daughter of the god Atlas. In Apr, Lucy Liu signed on to play Kalypso, one of Hespera'due south sisters. In May, Mark Stiff confirmed he would non render as Dr. Sivana, proverb the movie is going in a "unlike direction" than the ane suggested in the first motion picture's stinger. That alter of direction was also signaled during DC FanDome, thanks to a behind-the-scenes video featuring Mirren and Liu'south characters and a number of activeness scenes.
How It Fits in the DC Multiverse:Blackness Adam, anyone? Although that moving-picture show is not on Warner Bros. release schedule at the moment, the title character's connexion to Shazam means a crossover – and a confrontation – is inevitable.
In Evolution
With its plans for a Justice League-centric flick universe abandoned in favor of more standalone productions like Aquaman and Shazam!, Warner Bros.' calendar during the showtime few years of the 2020s reveals a number of re-thought ideas and, to infringe a term from comics, new #ane issues. At i time, the studio planned to release as many as three films per yr, a target it volition hit in 2022. But it remains to be seen if the projects listed below volition ramp up to maintain the pace.
Batgirl

Release Appointment:TBD
What Nosotros Know: Originally intended as Joss Whedon'southward writing and directing debut in the DC Extended Universe, the project is now being written byBirds of Preyscribe Christina Hodson while the studio looks for a director. Presumably, the flick volition constitute Barbara Gordon as the Batgirl of Gotham. Her human relationship to the Birds of Prey volition likely be established in a subsequent sequel to either movie, if at all. Merely considering Hodson'southward involvement in both films, she probably has a plan for Babs. In May of 2021, the project became active again with Ms. Marvel directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah signing on to captain the picture, which is now fix to be one of the start DC-related direct-to-HBO Max features. In July, the casting process seemingly narrowed in on Isabella Merced, Zoey Deutch, Leslie Grace, and Haley Lu Richardson. Grace won the role later than month with J.One thousand. Simmons entering negotiations to return as Commissioner Jim Gordan, a role he showtime took on in Justice League. During DC FanDome in October 2021, Grace described the character every bit a "girly girl, but she's capable and potent and determined." Co-director El Arbi added that the film volition feature "realistic fights." A piece of production art glimpsed during the presentation too suggests Batgirl will utilize a costume similar to her New 52 look in the comics.
How Information technology Fits in the DC Multiverse : Considering the project comes from developments outside of the originalJustice Leagueplan, it is difficult to guess how it will fit in. Perhaps Batgirl volition be prepare one-time in the past or run across Barbara taking upwardly the cape and cowl later on the Batman appears to quit.
Blue Beetle

What We Know:In February of 2021, word bankrupt revealingCharm City Kings director Angel Manuel Soto volition helm a film based on the Jaime Reyes version of Blue Protrude. The character is a Mexican-American teenager living in Texas who discovers a scarab that turns out to exist an alien battle suit. It gives him fantastic powers, but makes his lifemuchmore complicated. In August, Cobra Kai's Xolo Maridueña entered talks to play the atomic number 82 role. The motion-picture show joins Batgirl as 1 of two DC productions for HBO Max. Maridueña, Soto, and screenwriter Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer made an advent at the Oct 2021 DC FanDome. All expressed enthusiasm for the projection, with Dunnet-Alcocer saying the chance to showcase a Mexican-American superhero is a key part of the appeal. "That closeness of family is part of what sets him autonomously," he said. An accompanying production painting also suggests the Blue Beetle costume will be surprisingly faithful to its comic book counterpart.
How Information technology Fits Into The DC Multiverse:LikeStatic Dazeand some of the other projects, we're going to assume the film takes place on the same Globe Barry establishes inThe Flash. If and so, information technology gives Jaime a risk to bring together whatsoever Justice League we might see in the future.
Wonder Adult female 3
Release Engagement: TBA
What We Know: Hot on the heels of Wonder Adult female 1984'south box role success – well, at to the lowest degree in 2020 metrics – Warner Bros. announced a third picture was beingness fast tracked. Both director Patty Jenkins and star Gal Gadot are prepare to render. Jenkins besides said the picture will finally bring Diana's pic serial to the nowadays day. Of grade, with Jenkins heading off to a galaxy far, far away to direct Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, it may exist another four years (at least) earlier Wonder Woman returns.
How Information technology Fits in the DC Multiverse: Presuming Diana's earth all the same aligns to the DC Extended Universe continuity, Diana volition finally be a public superhero and, perhaps, serving as an Amazonian ambassador to the earth of men. In fact, reuniting her with her people after a century has a very dramatic appeal post-obit the events of Wonder Adult female 1984, Batman v Superman, and Justice League. Of course, if the Wonder Woman films are retroactive placed elsewhere in the Multiverse, the story could go in just about whatsoever direction.
The Other Batman
Release Engagement: TBA
What We Know: In a New York Times profile of Hamada, the DC Films chief made a curious reference to the Multiverse making 2 Batman feature film sagas possible. Ane will probable continue the story of The Batman while the other volition … well, it's anyone'southward estimate right now. The events of Flash may give Ben Affleck'due south Batman a new face in the DCEU. Or, perhaps, Hamada has convinced him to keep the cowl on for subsequent appearances. Then once more, maybe HBO Max will get its own Batman.
How It Fits in the DC Multiverse: Over again, this all depends on the DCEU as we knew it existing afterward The Wink. But presuming this Batman is meant to collaborate with the other DC heroes in the established moving picture universe, it is easy to encounter that aspect of his career invade any solo movies he may star in. Or mayhap, he volition finally take on allies in Gotham to support spinoffs similar Nightwing and Batgirl.
Green Lantern Corps
Release Appointment: TBD
What We Know: Appear back withCyborg in the 2014 masterplan,Green Lantern Corpscontinues to slowly move forward. In June of 2018, onetime DC Entertainment president and primary creative officer Geoff Johns took over writing and producing the project through his production company, Mad Ghost Productions. According to the company website, the film will characteristic both the Silver Historic period Green Lantern, Hal Jordan (played by Ryan Reynolds in the 2011 film), and John Stewart, the Green Lantern voiced by Phil LaMarr in diverseJustice Leagueanimated series. An earlier concept developed byMan of Steel'due south David South. Goyer and Justin Rhodes was said to be a sort of "Lethal Weapon in space" – a clarification which may even so hold true for Johns' concept as he worked withLethal Weapon managing director Richard Donner for a number of years. With Johns participating in a Green Lantern television serial for HBO Max, the project would seem to be postponed once again — though it is said to still exist a priority for Warner Bros. Pictures.
How It Fits in the DC Multiverse: Teased in aJustice League flashback, the lack of an Earthbound Green Lantern is part of the reason Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds) chose the planet for conquest. But the moving picture would presumably see the Corps correcting that mistake by revealing the brave humans involved in that organization. No dubiety the fans of Jordan and Stewart – to say nothing of characters like Guy Gardner, Simon Baz, Jessica Cruz, and Chiliad'Nort, who could potentially appear in the moving-picture show – will exist excited to meet them in an ensemble. Additionally, the film would provide a perfect platform with which to innovate DC's space-faring characters to a larger audience. At one time, the film was slotted for a 2020 release, just with the announcement of a HBO Max Greenish Lantern series, it is unclear if the motion picture will ever surface.
Supergirl
Release Date:TBD
What We Know: The Cloverfield Paradox's Oren Uziel is reportedly writing a script based on the Girl of Steel. Like The Flash characteristic film, information technology volition presumably ignore the successful television series on The CW and tell its ain version of Kara Zor-El's first few days as a superhero on Earth. With Human being of Steel star Henry Cavill's DC future in doubt, it is unlikely that Superman will show upwardly and help greet the cinematic Kara. The producers of the 1984 Supergirl film also tried to get then-Superman Christopher Reeve to appear in the film, but his presence was express to a poster on a dorm room wall. In February 2021, The Young and the Restless's Sasha Calle was cast as Kara for an appearance in The Flash feature. Presumably, she will lead Supergirl likewise, but it currently unclear.
How Information technology Fits in the DC Multiverse : If Calle continues every bit Kara, The Flash volition determine if she's the Supergirl of Barry'due south Earth – our de facto DCEU – or one of the Mutliversal realities he visits in the film.
Cyborg
(Photo by © Warner Bros. Pictures)
Release Date: TBD
What We Know: Ray Fisher has been ready to star as Vic Stone in a 2020Cyborgpic since 2014, just no director or screenwriter were announced. Many doubted the picture volition e'er materialize despite still being on the agenda. In September of 2018, Fisher suggested fans of the character may demand to become more vocal to make the moving-picture show a reality. In the summer of 2020, Fisher launched a entrada to expose Joss Whedon'south allegedly abusive beliefs on the fix of the Justice League reshoots. As the situation expanded to quondam DC Films chiefs Geoff Johns and Jon Berg, Fisher vowed never to work with current DC Films dominate Walter Hamada – whom he alleged was pressuring him to take dorsum his accusations well-nigh Johns. Later on, Cyborg's planned role in The Wink was written out and, presumably, whatsoever chance of a solo picture outing went with it.
How It Fits in the DC Multiverse: Frankly, nosotros'll exist surprised if Cyborg ever resurfaces in the current DC Films structure, Multiverse or no.
Blackhawk
Release Appointment:TBD
What We Know:While information technology is unclear if Blackhawk will be part of the DC pic universe, it is a favorite comic book of managing director Steven Spielberg. He even tried to get a Blackhawk flick off the ground in the 1980s. The electric current version of the projection will see him direct a film based on the aureate-historic period Quality Comics concept later bought by DC in 1957 with The Lost World: Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp adapting the concept. The main character is the leader of the Blackhawks squadron, a famed air outfit of seven ace pilots during World War II. When DC incorporated them into a post-war context, they became mercenaries, battled James Bail-style supervillains, and fifty-fifty flirted with condign superheroes themselves! Considering the manager's fascination with the 2nd World War and aviation of the menstruum, the original Golden Age version seems like the best fit, provided the film ever gets off the footing.
How Information technology Fits In The DC Multiverse: While current narrative conceits allow the film to take place in the past of Barry's Earth, the Multiverse means the project could be as closely or loosely tied to other films as Spielberg wants. That is presuming, of class, he's even so interested in making it.
Untitled Jared Leto Joker Project
(Photo by © Warner Bros.)
Release Date:TBD
What Nosotros Know: According to reports, Jared Leto volition star and serve as executive producer in his own solo Joker movie – a deal which happens to be quite similar to Robbie's involvement in Birds of Prey. Details are scarce, other than it will be a separate project from both the "Joker and Harley" concept and the standalone Joker. Information technology volition also spearhead a batch of films based on the characters featured in Suicide Squad, which means rumors of that Deadshot pic might exist more than idle talk. Then again, it has been a long time since the actor has made any mention of returning to the role. Also, the proclamation of a Peacemaker HBO Max series – centered on The Suicide Squad character played John Cena – may indicate the original spin-off plan has gone by the wayside. It would seem Leto's time in the DC Multiverse is already over.
How It Fits in the DC Multiverse: The Leto Joker was not only featured in Suicide Squad, but is besides the murderer of Batman'southward 2nd Robin, as implied in Batman five Superman: Dawn of Justice. Every bit of Birds of Prey, his human relationship with Harley is kaput, setting the 2 characters off in separate films series. If the "Joker and Harley" project is still happening, and then it may serve equally a capstone to the characters' storylines across The Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and Leto's Joker. But information technology may too serve as a replacement for that flick as Robbie's Harley projects may preclude "Joker and Harley." Of form, Joker's success – and Leto's comments about being "alienated and upset" when information technology was announced – may hateful the end of this version of the character. His appearance in Zack Snyder's Justice League and the very nature of the Multiverse offer some glimmers of hope, still.
Joker ii

Release Date: TBD
What We Know: Thanks to the success of the first Joker, a follow-up was inevitable, but details remained scarce through 2020. In May of 2021, word bankrupt indicating the project is however in development with a surprising new necktie to the larger DC Multiverse. Star Joaquin Phoenix and direct Todd Philipps volition presumably return. Although the early on reports were refuted, the more contempo claim suggests Phillips is already writing the script.
How It Fits Into the DC Multiverse: Co-ordinate to the May 2021 report, the pic will tie into The Batman and its spinoff HBO Max series, Gotham PD. If this proves to be true, it is a modify from the original film's entirely standalone nature. Additionally, the two Joker films, The Batman, and Gotham PD would found the first true divide universe from the one established in Man of Steel.
Nightwing
Release Date:TBD
What We Know: Equally of February 2018, The LEGO Batman Motion-picture show's Chris McKay was however developing a project centered on the first Robin, Dick Grayson. A last typhoon from screenwriter Pecker Dubuque was due at the fourth dimension, merely there has been no movement since. Reportedly, the film has been postponed in anticipation of The Batman, which may ultimately innovate its own version of Dick Grayson. In June of 2021, McKay told CinemaBlend, "I promise it's still a reality. I hope that we nonetheless get to make that movie. As far as I'm concerned, it's not lost yet."
How Information technology Fits in the DC Multiverse: As established in Justice League, the Robin costume in the Batcave is not Dick Grayson'due south uniform, suggesting plans for Nightwing become all the style back to the 2014 masterplan. A solo film would presumably see the character living in Bludhaven (Grayson'due south adopted urban center in the comics) and coming to grips with becoming his ain hero. McKay besides plans to direct a new Dungeons & Dragons movie and a feature film version of Johnny Quest, so information technology is hard to tell if Nightwing volition happen anytime shortly. Terminal time McKay was asked most it, he said fans will have to expect, but they should also "proceed hope alive."
Man of Steel Sequel
Release Engagement:TBD
What We Know: In September of 2017, 10-Men: Get-go Class director Matthew Vaughn met with the studio in regards to a directly Man of Steel sequel. Iii-ish years on, the render of Superman to the large screen seems like a distant possibility. Also, plans for an entirely new Superman project (more below) may cease any hope.
How It Fits in the DC Multiverse: Clark (Henry Cavill) has to reestablish himself at the Daily Planet at some point, right? Meanwhile, Superman could face any number of DCU villains from Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) to Black Adam (Dwayne Johnson).
Lobo
Release Date:TBD
What We Know: The Main Man, a Czarnian with various superpowers and healing factors, has e'er been of interest to Warner Bros. Attempts to make a Lobo movie date dorsum to 2009 with Guy Ritchie and Brad Peyton circling the managing director's chair. Equally of February last year, screenwriter Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman)was completing a new draft. Michael Bay was linked to the project, just it is unclear if he always really signed on.
How It Fits in the DC Multiverse: Lobo, like Light-green Lantern Corps, could introduce the cosmic elements of the DC Universe. The character's blasphemy and stark pattern also set him apart from the rest the DC characters audiences are familiar with. And considering the times his comic book analogue and Superman have butted heads, he could become a worthy opponent for the Homo of Steel in a subsequent pic.
Static Shock
Release Appointment:TBD
What We Know: First revealed at August's DC FanDome event, a film based on Milestone's Static – and, of class, the Static Stupor blithe series – is in development at Warner Bros Pictures. Michael B. Jordan will join Reggie Hudlin as an executive producer on the project. Based on the character created past Milestone Media founders Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Michael Davis, and Derek T. Dingle, the film will center on Virgil Hawkins, a teenager with electromagnetic powers who finds his manner into a larger world while withal keeping his local streets safe. Originally ready in Milestone'due south Dakotaverse, it is unclear if Virgil will start his adventures there or as a regular DC hero. Equally it happens, Static only transferred to the DC Universe in 2008 while his cartoon counterpart fabricated cameo appearances in DC animated shows much before. In March, Randy McKinnon signed on to write the script.
How It Fits in the DC Multiverse: Considering "multiverse" is at present the buzzword of Warner's DC initiative, information technology is entirely possible Static Shock won't fit into the established DC motion-picture show universe. But it'due south also possible the Flash's tinkering with fourth dimension will make Virgil a primal figure before production fifty-fifty starts on the moving picture.
Superman
(Photo by © First Run Features /Courtesy Everett Drove)
What We Know: Just a few days after the Blue Beetle news broke, word surfaced that J.J. Abrams' production visitor, Bad Robot, would produce an entirely new Superman film with novelist and Captain America comic book writer Ta-Nehisi Coates (above in the documentary Moynihan) on scripting duties. Reportedly, the project will characteristic a Blackness actor in the pb – although information technology is unclear if information technology will be Clark Kent or one of the diverse Black Superman characters DC Comics has introduced over the years. In May of 2021, a shortlist of directors including Regina King, Shaka King, and J.D. Dillard emerged, but with Regina King ultimately signing on to accommodate Image Comics' Biting Root, it seems the shortlist is but down to the latter two.
