Well, WB has released a very ambitious plan for the DC
universe that certainly mimic’s Marvel’s success over the past few years.
May 2016 - BATMAN V.
SUPERMAN
July 2016 - SHAZAM
Xmas 2016 - SANDMAN
May 2017 - JUSTICE
LEAGUE
July 2017 - WONDER WOMAN
XMAS 2017 - UNTITLED
GREEN LANTERN/THE FLASH TEAM-UP
MAY 2018 - MAN OF STEEL

This looks pretty cool but how will Shazam and Sandman do is
a big question. Man of Steel was not the
massive success that Iron Man was and Green Lantern was not a determining factor
in all this either. Certainly the Batman
franchise has been healthy but without Christian Bale and no stand alone Batman
film in the plan, one has to wonder if DC can keep the momentum going. The majority of audiences probably can’t tell
the difference between DC and Marvel and will just see these as just more superhero
films. This may steer them to the
franchise they have grown to know and love, Marvel. Of course the Marvel path is a few years old
now and perhaps the new franchise will be what people want to see, something
different with DC.
