Last week DC Comics announced that Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad director Michelle MacLaren would be jumping to the big screen in 2017s Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot. Now The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Pan scribe Jason Fuchs is being eyed to pen the script. He will be working closely with MacLaren to bring the biggest female superhero in history to the big screen for the first time in her own solo film. Again, he is just in early talks but is expected to sign on.

Zack Snyder's upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is about to wrap up filming very soon (Henry Cavill's Superman has already completed filming). They are now currently shooting the scenes in New Mexico which will serve as a backdrop to Wonder Woman's homeland of Themyscira. Now while rumors have minimal on set a new Instagram post has revealed something very interesting. According to this "on set report" DC is setting up for Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) to actually be cousins in this new DC Cinematic Universe:

One thing I wanted to share is that recently I have received a speculating intel source from an insider in the onset which is that these scenes in New Mexico of Wonder Woman in her home of Themyscira with Gal Gadot, this perhaps will be the cameo in where we will see Aquaman Jason Momoa in argument with his COUSIN Wonder Woman & her family for what happen on earth with the invasion of Zod. Supposedly they are disputing if Wonder Woman & her family (Amazons) such as Zeus ect ect, is unable to maintain control, peace & authority from threats of other realms trying to invade other worlds then Aquaman & his family (Atlanteans) will be taking lead of the situations. Also in which he is the heir to the Throne of Atlantis meaning that this points out that Poseidon will die or will be already dead for the storyline of Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice. This is the intel of the onset but then again just take it with a grain of salt for it is not a solid confirmation.

Now while this of course could be totally made up it does line up with producer Charles Roven's recent comments that Diana Prince will be the daughter of Zeus based off her New 52 origin. This of course would make Arthur Curry the son of Poseidon. Which would make his mother human. This intel also hints to what may come in Aquman's origin movie set for 2018.


Of course we would never have looked twice at this small tidbit if Roven's comments didn't come out first about Wonder Woman's origin. But again take with a massive grain of salt....But hey it sounds better then the recent Clash of the Titans films.

Today, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones Emmy Award winning director Michelle MacLaren will indeed helm DC Comics upcoming Wonder Woman film starring Gal Gadot. This is truly groundbreaking given female directors are unfortunately few and far between in Hollywood. Not only will MacLaren be on a shortlist of female directors to direct a comic book movie. She will be directing one the most famous female superhero of the past century.

Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder and his wife Deborah will be producing this feature alongside longtime Batman producer Charles Roven. Roven revealed last month that this verison of Wonder Woman will indeed be a demi-god and the daughter of Zeus which follows The New 52 origin.

There have been a very large debate online since Wonder Woman was announced that a female director (something that is unfortunately uncommon in Hollywood) should be the one to helm the project. If you either believe only a woman director should direct Wonder Woman or simply the best person for the job it doesn't matter at this point anymore. Latino-Review broke the the news and The Wrap confirmed that Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones director Michelle MacLaren is indeed the frontrunner on WB's list to helm Wonder Woman. They do go onto reveal while she is at the top and has had several meetings about the project they are still looking at their other options. Some of whom happen to be male directors as well.

 Now many had hoped that Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow would helm that project but that was stretch from the beginning given her war-time film track record like The Hurt Locker & Zero Dark Thirty. Other female directors like Punisher: War Zone director Lexi Alexander took themselves out of the running due to the pressure of such an undertaking amongst other things...

The film will star Gal Gadot as Diana Prince and who will make her feature film debut in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter ran a piece stating that Warner Brothers is actively trying to pursue a female director to helm the first female lead superhero movie Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot. Well, now Forbes is claiming to have some inside information on what directors the studio is looking at:

Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), Mimi Leder (Deep Impact), Karyn Kusama (Girlfight), and Julie Taymor (Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark). Also looking at TV directors Michelle MacLaren (Game of Thrones) and Tricia Brook (The Walking Dead). Lastly, Oscar-Winner and Fan Favorite Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty) is said to be in the mix.

They do go onto say Bigelow, Leder, Hardwicke and MacLaren are the frontrunners WB really wants to go after, But it should be noted that Kathryn Bigelow while being a great director turned down several comic book movie opportunity's in the past; most recently The Amazing Spider-Man. So don't get your hopes up that she will stray from her gritty modern war films for a mythical superhero type movie any time soon.

The question of this day in age in comic film or TV adaptions is are they all connected? Marvel has done it first literally connecting their movies with television and soon netflix shows like Daredevil all into one massive shared universe. So the question remained will DC do the same thing? This is something that has plagued DC fans since Arrow lit up the small screen on The CW. Will Stephen Amell's Arrow ever meet up with Henry Cavill's Superman? Well at this past year's Comic-Con it seemed DC head Geoff Johns put that theory to rest that Arrow & it's spin-off show The Flash are in a separate universe than Henry Cavill and Ben Afflecks Batman & Superman. But was he lying? He was and he wasn't.

Today, Geoff Johns spoke with BuzzFeed to confirm that DC is trying to actual create a cinematic multiverse!

“We look at it as the multiverse. We have our TV universe and our film universe, but they all co-exist. For us, creatively, it’s about allowing everyone to make the best possible product, to tell the best story, to do the best world. Everyone has a vision and you really want to let the visions shine through. I think the characters are iconic enough. I like [Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.] a lot. I love what Marvel does. I’m a huge fan. It’s just a different approach.”

Now for some of you who don't know DC had a multiverse with multiple "earths". That means one superhero may live their whole life in one universe and have a slightly different version on the second earth. Or one superhero maybe one person on Earth-1 but on Earth-2 the mantle is taken up by someone else like Jay Garrick & Barry Allen both being The Flash. And The Flash is the one who first learns of the multiverse....Which is also teased at the end of The Flash pilot episode.

Now if DC can actually pull off doing a multiverse that means while the TV & Film universe are connected they are separate at the same time. What ever happens on film won't dictate what happens on TV and vice-versa. So the writers still have creative freedom and aren't held down by each others contradicting storylines. That is until DC finally pulls out their wild card and does a Crisis on Infinite Earths movie which will have all the universes collide into one another.  But this type of massive movie is obviously far down the line for DC...

So  as far as we know we have the Man of Steel Universe, the Arrow-Verse and last week Sandman creator Neil Gaiman mentions DC has yet to announce a slate of Vertigo Universe movies that are coming out like Sandman or Justice League: Dark which would give us a third universe. It's unknown where Gotham, Constantine, Lucifer, Teen Titans, Supergirl, or Static Shock fit within these universes or others.

Lastly, he adds that maybe one day they will have a crossover but not anytime soon...

"There’s been discussions over the years for both, obviously. You never say never. Maybe one day we’ll link a show to a film if it makes sense, but the creative process we’re going through right now is to let the stuff live and breathe and be its own thing and own it."

Today, during a Warner Brothers shareholders meeting CEO Kevin Tsujihara finally announced the titles and release dates of their upcoming DC Comics films. This comes after DC announced a slew of untitled release dates through 2020. Well today they announced Suicide Squad penned by Justin Marks and to be directed by David Ayer will hit in 2016 (Before Sony's villain team up Sinister Six) after Batman v Superman. Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot will hit in 2017 with Justice League 1 hitting later that year. The already announced solo Aquaman & Flash films are slated for 2018 starring Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller respectfully. Then last comes Shazam starring Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam will hit in 2019 with Justice League 2 hitting in later that year.

:: Update :: - 
Cyborg starring Ray Fisher and Green Lantern will hit in 2020

‘Suicide Squad’ – 08/05/16
‘Wonder Woman’ – 06/23/17
‘Justice League Part 1’ – 11/17/17
‘The Flash’/'Aquaman’ – 03/23/18
‘The Flash’/'Aquaman’ – 07/27/18
‘Shazam’ – 04/05/19
‘Justice League Part 2′ – 06/14/19
'Cyborg' – 04/03/20
'Green Lantern Reboot' – 06/19/20

They go onto say solo Superman & Batman films are also in the works but no release dates have been set on those films...

Man of Steel & Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder will return to direct Justice League Part 1 & 2.

Today, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice producer Charles Roven sat down for a Q & A on The Hollywood Masters. He was asked about the casting of Ben Affleck and how Affleck was one of their first chooses for this new Batman compared to Christopher Nolan's Batman. He does also reveal that Christopher Nolan still does in fact have some type of "advisory" role on Batman v Superman and even helped casting Ben Affleck. He lastly mentions how Justice League is indeed coming with this new Batman. As well as mentions that Wonder Woman will be the daughter of Zeus in this incarnation of the character. As many know this is actually The New 52 origins of the character (In which she also knows how to fly) as compared to her original origin which had her molded together in clay and brought to life by the gods.

TechTimes (via Comic Vine) has unearthed several recently registered domain names for upcoming DC films. This comes off the recently announced "untitled" release dates for movies stretching all the way through 2020 over at WB. Now these domain names currently just redirect back to the Warner Brothers main page. Most shouldn't be surprised since Dwayne Johnson confirmed Shazam is in the works, Aquaman just got writers and Justice League was announced over two months ago. But interestingly enough Wonder Woman is also added to the list!

JusticeLeagueFilm.com

ShazamMovie.com

WonderWomanTheMovie.com

AquamanMovie.com

With many DC fans upset we didn't get any announcements at Comic-Con then again not at the end of August this little nugget is all you will get until DC announces the films. 

Dwayne Johnson is expected to play either Black Adam or Shazam in the upcoming Shazam film. Jason Momoa has been cast as Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. While Gal Gadot has been cast as Wonder Woman.

:: Update :: - Apparently these domain names were registered years ago. 

The #Aquaman & #Shazam domain names were registered in 2000. #WonderWoman's was registered in 1999. #JusticeLeague's was registered in 2013.

DC and Warner Brothers are currently hard at work developing their own cinematic universe opposite longtime rival Marvel. It all started with last years smash hit Man of Steel directed by Zack Snyder which got the ball rolling after the hiccup that was 2011's Green Lantern.

Now it seems Warner Brothers wants to use in-house writers to help form this cinematic universe. First it started off with The Dark Knight trilogy screenwriter David Goyer and 300's Zack Snyder creating Man of Steel. They then brought on Ben Affleck to play Batman after directing and staring in both The Town and Argo which won best picture at the Academy Awards for Warner Brothers. From there it seemed WB was adamant on using writers who are closely connected to both Ben Affleck and Zack Snyder. They started by hiring Argo writer Chris Terrio thanks to his connection with pen Affleck to pen the sequel to Man of Steel title Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. They loved his draft of the script so much (After David Goyer wrote the first draft) that they are seriously considering him to pen Justice League which will also be directed by Zack Snyder.

Then just a couple weeks ago DC announced that they had hired two separate writers to pen an Aquaman solo film. The writers would also be in house at WB and were Gangster Squad scribe Will Beall as well as 300: Rise of an Empire screenwriter Kurt Johnstad who is connected to Zack Snyder. A draft has also been confirmed by Dwayne Johnson on a Shazam solo movie but it is unknown who wrote it at this time.

But with all these writers being brought on to pen the ever growing DC Cinematic Universe what directors could take on these mighty heroes? Here is a few suggestions that are in-house at Warner Brothers but are also very talented directors in their own right...

Aquaman
With Aquaman being the first solo film confirmed to have writers attached I thought it should be the first addressed in this editorial. Currently both Will Beall and Kurt Johnstad are writing two separate scripts for the King of the Seven Seas solo movie which will star Jason Momoa. So for this I will assume they will go with Kurt Johnstad and have him re-team with his 300: Rise of an Empire director Noam Murro. Now while Noam Murro only has two feature film directing credits to his name he is an ideal chose at Warner Brothers. What he did with the navel battles in 300: Rise of an Empire was impressive coming off of a director like Zack Snyder in the original 300 film. He also now has experience with water battles as well as ancient Greek battles which would make him a perfect choose to bring Aquaman and Atlantis to life. But his ultimate challenge would be an entire film underwater and try to make it as realistic as possible without people forgetting their underwater and have the currents of the ocean floor just as real as another character on screen.

Shazam

Shazam is going to be one of the trickiest movies Warner Brothers and DC create because of its fantastical elemnts that are so associated with the film. Because in reality their is two leads in the film playing the same character of sorts. You have the young Billy Batson (Foster Child if he is based on the New 52) who is given the power of S.H.A.Z.A.M by an ancient wizard. As well as the hero of Shazam (Possibly played by Dwayne Johnson) who is still a child like Billy Batson in an adults body. A comic book "Freaky Friday" movie of sorts. The only director who could possibly take this fantasy type movie would be David Yates! He has already directed several Harry Potter films which starred a a young protagonist in Harry Potter. With his background of Hogwarts and Wizards he would be an ideal chose to bring the Legend of Shazam to life on the big screen for Warner Brothers and DC.

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman seems to be a hero that just can't catch a break. She will finally be introduced on screen for the first time in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice played by Gal Gadot. But the powers that be just can't seem to wrap their brain around a female lead superhero movie and potential franchise. Now many believe that a female superhero movie can only be directed by a female director. And lets face it a female director are rare and far between in Hollywood. But I'm sure the first female director to pop into you're head is The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow. She is the first woman to win Best Director at the Academy Awards as well as having both her films be nominated for several awards. Now while should would be the ideal chose for such a break through film like Wonder Woman lets face it. She will never come near a comic book movie after her success with war-time films even though everyone on earth wants her to do Wonder Woman because it just feels right.

A great second chose would be Guy Richie who has directed such great films like Snatch as well as the upcoming re-telling of King Arthur for Warner Brothers. With a fantasy film like King Arthur under his belt he would bring that to a film that tells the origins of Themyscira and Princess Diana. Plus, with his famous opening credit sequence who doesn't love Guy Richie?

Green Lantern
 
Green Lantern had a bit of a hiccup back in 2011. Not that the origin story of Hal Jordon was wrong or that Ryan Reynolds was terrible in the role. It was simply that the script was all over the place because of "to many cooks in the kitchen". They tried to make Green Lantern a little to comic book-y with his cheesy one-liners and what not throughout the film. Not to say Green Lantern needs to be 100% serious but his one-liners is what drove fans away from the film. Not to mention the space cloud villain but lets not get into that.

So where does Warner Brothers go from here with the character? Last rumor we heard was that he will not be making an appearance in Dawn of Justice but will indeed have a role in Justice League presumably played by a new actor. When his eventual spin-off comes whether its a re-telling of his origin or simply another adventure for him to go on a great director for the project would be none other then Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron. Cuaron has been a staple director at WB for a while also directing one of the Harry Potter films but it was last years Gravity that put him at the spotlight for space epic films. It wasn't just how realistic he made space feel in Gravity but how Space itself was another character in the film. That's exactly what a movie like Green Lantern needs. With a film practically all in space we need a director with a keen eye on how space actually works to helm a project like this. Plus it helps that Gravity won seven academy awards for Warner Brothers including best Visual Effects and Cuaron winning Best Director.

The Flash

The Flash is one of the few DC characters that simply is meant to be a comedy. A movie like The Flash will basically be the opposite of all the other Dc movies who have taken a dark and serious approach to all their films. Now recently their have been rumblings that Warner Brothers seem to have a "Zero Joke Tolerance" for the upcoming DC films but The Flash needs to be the exception. Beside the dark elements that Barry Allen lost his mother at a very young age he has always been the comic relief of the Justice League. Constantly memorized by all the heroes even though he is one of them he is simply a "fan-girl" when he actually gets to meet the other Leaguers.

Now there are also rumors that he is expected to make a cameo in Dawn of Justice with but it won't be by an actor. So if and when DC decides to make a solo Flash film (Opposite it's already established Flash TV Show starring Grant Gustin) what director or director's should helm this project. None other than the hottest duo directors in Hollywood Phil Lord & Chris Miller. They have four feature films under their belt all being massive hits from both the kid friendly comedy's Cloudy With a Chance of meatballs as well as The LEGO Movie. They also have the action comedy down with the hard R Jump Street films. Now as you saw in The Lego Movie they are nerds and brought the Justice League into their movie with batman already playing a prominent role. It's only a matter of time before they direct a live-action feature film. They quickly passed on Marvel's Ant-Man at one time so maybe it's time for Warner Brothers to repay the duo on their success with The Lego Movie and let them direct a DC Cinematic Universe film. And The Flash seems to be a perfect match for this young hot directing team.

The Batman

After Ben Affleck directed and starred in both The Town as well as Best picture winning film Argo he signed up to play Batman for the foreseeable future. Most suspect in his contract with Warner Brothers and WB he would get a solo Batman film as well. It only seems logical that he would also direct this new Batman film as well as star. Zack Snyder is hard at work establishing this new Batman in Dawn of Justice but it will be Affleck who will bring this Dark Knight back to the screens in an entire new way then what we saw in Christopher Nolans Dark Knight Trilogy.

Superman

Zack Snyder is the last director who will return after helming Man of Steel to do the first Justice League film in 2017/2018 but he may also want to return for another Superman adventure starring Henry Cavill. With DC films being slated through 2020 a solo Superman movie may actually happen after all.

It seems DC finally has a plan! Last month Nikki Finkie dropped the scoop that a slew of DC movies where coming out of the woodwork. Including Shazam and a Green Lantern/Flash team-up and claimed they would be announced at Comic-Con several weeks ago.

"Shazam (July 2016), Sandman (Christmas 2016), Justice League (May 2017), Wonder Woman (July 2017), Flash/Green Lantern team-up (Christmas 2017), and Man of Steel 2 (May 2018)."

 Well Comic-Con came and went with not even a hint of their future plans. Finkie went onto claim that DC was upset the information leaked and simply wimped out of the announcement. It certainly seemed she was just covering her own failed scoop. Well, maybe she wasn't wrong afterall...

The Wrap just announced that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has moved up from May 2016 to March 25th, 2016. They go onto to announce 9 untitled feature films coming out of DC with 2 additional "WB event films"!

Untitled DC Film  - 08/05/16

UPDATE to Warner Bros. Release Date Slate: Studio will release untitled ANIMATED films on 05/25/18 & 05/24/19.
— Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider) August 7, 2014

 If the WB Event Film is a Justice League team-up that means they moved the date from 2017 to 2018. But it is unknown at this time what these "WB Event Films" are....Some are speculating they are for the Harry Potter spin-offs Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

By 2017 we're going to be up to at least seven super-hero movies every year, between WB, Disney, Fox and Sony.
— Ben Fritz (@benfritz) August 6, 2014

So far the actors in this great DC Cinematic Universe is Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg and Dwayne Johnson in an unknown role (Most likely Shazam)

Other possible DC films include Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Sandman and Guillermo del Toro's Justice League: Dark but it's unknown if these supernatural films will be in the DCCU. On top of all the solo films rumored...

Only moments after Marvel announced filming on The Avengers: Age of Ultron had come to an end DC announces something massive. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice jumped off the May 6th, 2016 date first held by Marvel and Captain America 3 and has moved up to March 25th, 2016! It's unknown if the April 29th date in UK still stands while North America gets the March date. I guess DC blinked and Marvel wins...

Today, WXYZ Detroit revealed some set photos from the set of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. It shows a Wayne Enterprises (Financial) completely destoryed!

This weekend Warner Brothers unveiled the very first look at Gal Gadot as Princess Diana in full Wonder Woman armor. So TooFab spoke with the DC TV universe guys (Arrow, The Flash etc) to get their reaction! Check it out!

To kick off Warner Brothers panel right off the bat they decided to have director Zack Snyder and the Trinity of DC heroes come on stage to show a clip from Batman: Dawn of Justice. Then Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman (Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot) join Snyder on stage to present the clip:

Warner Brothers panel kicked off with a bang! Zack Snyder wasted no time coming on stage even though he wasn't scheduled or announced but we all knew he would be there. He said that filming is going great and that they have "a teeny tiny thing" to show the Hall H crowd! (via Superhero Hype! Live Blog)

Batman (Ben Affleck) is standing on top of a Gotham city rooftop in the rain. He is a still armored Bat suit similar to the one in The Dark Knight Returns. His eyes light up white. He pulls a tarp that reveals the Bat Signal that lights up. And hovering above him is Superman (Henry Cavill) pissed off. Superman shoots out his heat vision. Cut to title card.

TV Guide has been updating all day from the yearly Television Critics Association panel. Today it has been officially announced by DC Comics CCO Geoff Johns that the Arrow/Flash universe on The CW will indeed stays separate from the Zack Snyder Batman v Superman universe in the movies. The reason being pretty obvious; that they don't want the TV writers to be a slave to the movie universe:
I think we all pretty much figured this. So expect a different Flash and Green Arrow if they ever end up in the Justice League made by director Zack Snyder.


Now I will point out just because Arrow won't be connected to Batman v Superman does not mean Stephen Amell and by extension Grant Gustin (The Flash) can't be in the Justice League. Now hear me out.....What is one of the most famous comic events DC has put out? Crisis on Infinite Earths. Basically their is multiple earths, with multiple characters just on different paths in the comic worlds. So hypothetically speaking if Zack Snyder wanted Amell and Gustin to play Arrow and The Flash in Justice League he could. They would simply be playing another version of Arrow and Flash in a separate universe! While still playing another version on TV. But that's just a fans dream on something will will probably never happen...

DC's Geoff Johns sayst DC wants to keep its film and TV universes separate. Doesn't want TV writers to try to fit shows into the movies

Today, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and longtime Zack Snyder cinematographer Larry Fong posted a Behind-the-Scenes photo of what seems to be a photoshoot taking place with photographer Clay Enos. Enos responded to the tweet as being a "historic day". In which  Larry Fong replied that it gave him chills:

Now could this possibly have been the photoshoot for the very first image of DC's Trinity?! Which includes Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman? Its certainly possible from there cryptic tweets!

He did interject into our conversation on Twitter that usually these types of shoots are for just after a film wraps which means sometime in 2015 unfortunately.

@PaulRom95 @WMKING2425 @KnightGambit @Steele131 Maybe in 2015. Usually that stuff is made towards to end of filming or just after wrap.

Several days ago legendary entertainment reporter Nikki Finkie dropped her very first scoop of a life-time after departing from Deadline. It included the line-up release dates and titles of all the DC Cinematic Universe movies starting from Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016 all the way through to 2018.

"Shazam (July 2016), Sandman (Christmas 2016), Justice League (May 2017), Wonder Woman (July 2017), Flash/Green Lantern team-up (Christmas 2017), and Man of Steel 2 (May 2018)."

Now while on the recent SModcast Hollywood Babble-On podcast  Kevin Smith actually goes onto admit he has known about the DC line-up for a while but wasn't allowed to say anything! If some of you are questioning Kevin Smith and his information. Now he also does confirm the titles he doesn't actually confirm the release dates which does seem a bit crazy having 3 films per year. Director Zack Snyder personally gave him a glimpse at Ben Afflevcks upcoming Bat-suit all the way last August. Then when the suit was finally revealed a couple weeks back he went onto mention something about how all the DC movies stories will connect. Now most of us took this as an obvious "Well Duh" moment but it's because he knew what was going on for a while. It really seems that Warner Brothers CEO Kevin Tsujihara is leading the charge in this DC universe and it should be very exciting!

He goes onto talk about the DC scoop at the 1 Hour 27 Minutes Mark...

Nikki Finkie best known for her work on the trades website Deadline has since departed from the website to begin building her very own trade website. Now one of the first exclusives to her site NikkiFinkie.com is none other than Warner Bros post-Batman V Superman plans after 2016!

According to her sources WB is moving forward with the already announced Sandman with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as well as the Shazam. The sources go onto say that a Wonder Woman solo film will happen as well as a Green Lantern/Flash team-up!

"Shazam (July 2016), Sandman (Christmas 2016), Justice League (May 2017), Wonder Woman (July 2017), Flash/Green Lantern team-up (Christmas 2017), and Man of Steel 2 (May 2018)."
