Everyone I've read is treating this list as solid as it gets, given the source. \u00a0The reported schedule:<\/p>\n

May 2016 \u2013 Batman v Superman<\/i>
July 2016 \u2013 Shazam<\/i>
Xmas 2016 \u2013 Sandman<\/i>
May 2017 \u2013 Justice League<\/i>
July 2017 \u2013 Wonder Woman<\/i>
Xmas 2017 \u2013 Flash and Green Lantern<\/i>
May 2018 \u2013 Man of Steel 2<\/p>\n

There are some very close releases here — Shazam<\/i> a couple of months after BvS,<\/i> and \u00a0_Wonder Woman_ only a few months after Justice League?<\/i> Gutsy moves, if they can keep to the timing, but that's going to be a heck of a shooting schedule for Gal Gadot. \u00a0Ditto for having Flash and Green Lantern both (presumably) in Justice League<\/i> and in their own team-up movie.<\/p>\n

It seem like WB\/DC are trying to saturate the years in question, perhaps to make up for the perception that Marvel has the market locked up.<\/p>\n

Also interesting: the tacit admission that BvS<\/i> really isn't the sequel to Man of Steel.<\/i><\/p>\n

The real kicker in here is Sandman,<\/i> the one of the bunch I'm most looking forward to and most dreading. It's the only one of the films that's not part of the general Justice League mold; I imagine it will be only tangentially tied, if at all, to the rest of the movies. That's something Marvel is just getting around to at this point (if you can make that argument about Guardians of the Galaxy<\/i> or Ant-Man),<\/i> and is potentially a useful expansion for "comic book movies" into non-super-hero-slugfests.<\/p>\n

I remain moderately skeptical that they'll be able to hit this schedule and maintain quality, but I'm willing to wait and see.<\/p>\n
