I'm going to predict 5 out of the 9 movies will be awful. Or at least two will be cancelled.
At this point Superman better damn well be in Shazam. Billy (Shazam) idolizes Superman. Good chance to toss Superman in there as a mentor.
This is assuming a Superman film isn't happening. They said before it was so maybe they just don't feel the need to mention it again since they're trying to keep up with this tactic that he's dead. Then once JL comes out they'll freely talk about him and when he's next film is coming.

Max Landis is writing his Superman script you guys. Be patient.

Hella excited for Batman. Reeves is one of the gods of blockbusters right now. He doesn't sacrifice character emphasis either when making them. Could end up a top 5 comic movie if he does his thing.
And pretty curious about how wonder woman 2, aquaman, justice league dark turn out.
Flashpoint could be cool as shit as a movie. Seeing Thomas Batman for instance and all that other fuckery. But if it's just an expensive excuse for fixing the universe then that would be wack

Actually, he is working on a Superman book, 'Superman: Agent of Batman'...

It's all part of the plan. He's playing the long game.
Yeah, my bet is Flashpoint is an elseworld where someone else is Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc.

why watch any of the prior movies if flashpoint is going to reboot the line
flashpoint isn't going to be a reboot
Just make a movie about a guy that runs fast, geez.

So for a timeline:
2018 - Aquaman and Shazam
2019 - Suicide Squad 2 and The Batman
2020 - Justice League Dark and Batgirl
2021 - Green Lantern Corps and Flashpoint and Wonder Woman 2
That sound right?
2018 - Aquaman and Shazam
2019 - Suicide Squad 2 and The Batman
2020 - Justice League Dark and Batgirl
2021 - Green Lantern Corps and Flashpoint and Wonder Woman 2
That sound right?
They won't wait that long for wonder woman two.
Holy fuck is that Midnighter on the right between Darkseid and Shazan ??

Only Aquaman next year.
Pretty sure they have 4 slots in 2020, and that Suicide Squad 2 isn't coming until after Gotham City Sirens.
Most likely:
2019: Shazam, Flashpoint, The Batman
2020: Wonder Woman 2, Green Lantern Corps, Gotham City Sirens, Batgirl

I appreciate that the new JL trailer said, "No Lanterns, No Kryptonians."

It wasn't even meant to be an event before the executives saw they had the chance to turn it into one and a universe wide reboot instead of just a Flash arc that shakes up the status quo.

YAY Suicide Squad 2! Yay Batgirl! Yay Justice League Dark!
UGH FLASHPOINT
That horrible story will follow me until the day I die. Hate the comic, the animated movie, and what it did to the Flash TV show. At least do Crisis if you're going to do a timeline/continuity mixup :c

Probably just that he's 'dead' and they're committed to not spoiling his return.

Well, nice to see the flash movie isn't dead, but doing Flashpoint as the first one, eh not sure how to feel about that. Oh and give me my solo Superman movie with Brainiac, damn it.

Shazam was always slotted for April 2019.
I think 2021 is too far out. WW2 for 2020 at the latest. GLC & Flashpoint are question marks, I think Flashpoint for 2019.

Can we have Flashpoint ASAP, please?
While the rest of the cast is still young? lol

No release dates, casting, or directors. Well, I guess this is still more likely to happen than the original 2014 slate, just because they've had a DCEU regime change since and have had some time to reevaluate things post-BvS.

Shazam, The Batman and Batgirl have directors but everything else is up in the air aside from Wonder Woman 2.

I really wish we were getting wonder woman in 2019
Unknown. Nothing here save for Aquaman has dates attached to them. Seems like a plans for the future list while already having a list they're currently working on. We know Gotham City Sirens is still happening and that wasn't listed. They said both Superman and Batman films were coming last time only The Batman has gotten any talk but even that currently doesn't have a date at the moment and just a director officially attached. Batgirl just has a director but no other talk I think. I was hoping they wouldn't do a list like this to be honest. It was a bad decision before hand and it's a bad one now.

Why not actually put Cyborg in a Teen Titans movie?
Because that makes too much sense.

I wonder who the heck they're going to get to direct Flashpoint. I'd suggest Joss, but he's already busy with Batgirl. I'd also consider suggesting Lord & Miller, but seeing as how they got fired recently from the Han Solo film due to their improvisational style of filmmaking, I feel like that would probably be an ill fit for something like Flashpoint.
Any ideas, folks?

Mess.
Of course they wouldn't make a fucking normal solo Flash movie.
I mean dunno why I'm surprised, this is the universe that put TDK Returns, Death of Superman/Doomsday, Trinity and then some in the second movie.
Burn this rushed trash to the ground.
This aberration of an universe was singlehandedly killed the very moment these geniouses decided to turn Man of Steel 2 into Batman Destroys Superman: Dawn of Injustice.
What a goddamn mess. No Flashpoint is saving this.

Final Crisis wasn't good enough for them? (I like FC btw)
Honestly I agree with what was suggested earlier and that they get Zack Snyder to direct this one. It is in many ways the perfect story for him to tell.
This. It's nice to see where they're looking but I'm not going to be holding on to anything until I see casting and know filming has started. Casting is when I start to get excited and filming is when I allow myself to get hyped.
Thinking the same. They're just going to keep playing this out whee they can. Stuff like merchandise can't be hidden (only a few follow these announcements anyway). Film announcements they can hold back on and keep trying to pretend he's "dead".
Because Wonder Woman is clearly the exception and it had nothing to do (thankfully) with the universe other than some tacked-on Bruce Wayne name.

What is Justice League Dark? Is that Justice League 2?

Think of it like a league focused on magic and the paranormal. The title is confusing. It's usually John Constantine, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, and those types.
I'm gonna be upset if theyre just there to job to Steppenwolf
