DC Comics Confirms DC Comic Movies...Well, They Confirm The Rumours!!

You will have to wait until this weeks comic con in San Diego for the news but the internet is a-buzz with the official rumoured DC Comics movies.  It seems lots of cameos in Justice League -"like in Marvels Avengers movie" ...yeah, those were not cameos.

I'm guessing that they think "a lot of super heroes in a movie makes millions and millions!!" but just have not realised that is not what the Avengers was about nor how it got bums on seats.

So, this is how DC Comics News http://dccomicsnews.com/
reports it:


Rumor: DC Cinematic Universe Schedule

Rumor: DC Cinematic Universe Schedule

There have been reports about an ambitious film schedule that reportedly will have seven DC Comic-based films the likes of which will be “Shazam,” The Sandman,” and a long-awaited “Wonder Woman” film. This has been reported by various news sites the likes of which include Comic Book Resources and NikkiFinke.com where this list can originally be found.

For the list of films, it is as follows:

May 2016 – Batman v Superman
July 2016 – Shazam
Christmas 2016 – Sandman
May 2017 – Justice League
July 2017 – Wonder Woman
Xmas 2017 – Flash and Green Lantern team-up
May 2018 – Man Of Steel 2

There has yet to be any statement from Warner Bros to neither confirm nor deny this information however the consensus is that these will be announced at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. This would mean that the studio is up to give the super-successful Marvel films a run for their money in the production of comic book movies.


The nearest known DC Cinematic Universe film is 2016's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"

This reported list of films not only shows a high frequency and somewhat urgency on the part of the Warner Bros film studio to make new films to compete with the aforementioned Marvel studios, who currently have a strong grip on the comic book movie market. This also shows the risks they may be willing to take with movies like “Shazam” or “The Sandman” or even a Green Lantern/Flash team up film. Not to mention how Wonder Woman has not been treated with the proper big screen treatment due to the studio feeling it would be too risky to make.


Gal Gadot has been reportedly been signed to a three movie deal, including "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and a Justice League film as well as a rumored Wonder Woman solo film

As of right now, the only two films that have been confirmed by Warner Bros and DC Comics have been the much anticipated “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and a “Justice League” film both of which being directed by Zack Snyder and following the events of 2013′s “Man of Steel”

Stay tuned to DC Comics News for more updates about the DC Cinematic universe.


Now, don't get me wrong but, just as it always lagged behind Marvel in the good old comic days by "not really getting it", DC is continuing that old habit with movies. And what the feck is wrong with comic fans?  Before the Batman v Superman movie has even been made they are criticising it and saying how awful it is.

Just like fans left screeching comments such as "THAT IS NOT HOW IT F******** HAPPENED!!!" after certain episodes of Avengers:Earths Mightiest Heroes when they were on You Tube.

1) Animated series are not 100% based on the comics
2) Movies are definitely not 100% based on the comics

Even the comics these days are NOT based on the comics!  So many re-boots since the 1980s its a joke to sell a book title "Official Guide To The DC Universe and Characters"....it's out of date before you've paid for it.

And I never even knew that Infinite Crisis a video game based on the comic series has now spawned another comic series by that title.  I'm not kidding!  According to Tim Beedle on DC Comics Fan News page:http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2014/03/18/infinite-crisis-returns-to-comics-a-talk-with-dan-abnett

" Infinite Crisis, a videogame that was inspired by a comic series, is now a comic book series itself. Previously announced on DC All Access, the Infinite Crisis comic will provide some crucial backstory to the epic-scaled action, developing and enriching the personalities of the game’s numerous champions. And that’s a good thing because who doesn’t want to learn more about Arcane Green Lantern, Atomic Wonder Woman, Nightmare Batman and Gaslight Joker? (Though in the case of those last two, we’d prefer to do all of our learning from an appropriately safe distance away.)"

" who doesn’t want to learn more"

 Uh, I ******* well don't!  Are they really this dead for ideas?  Hey, DC -why not bring out a comic series, say twelve issues, and call it....I dunno...Crisis On Infinite Earths Zero Hour Secret Identity? Just an idea.

And don't you all worry -I'm looking at Marvel comics news, too!
