#10: “The Flash” Tentative Release: 2018
Top 20 Greatest Barry Allen Flash Moments
If they made a version of Mount Rushmore that featured the DC Comics greats, this speedy hero would most likely make the cut. The fastest man in the entire DC universe, the name of the Flash has been a mantle handed down from hero to hero, but he has always remained a character of major importance among the DC elite. Meanwhile, the 2014 announcement that relatively unknown actor Ezra Miller has been cast in the main role has served to whet the appetite Flash fans everywhere as well as anyone who’s seen the immensely talented actor in some of his highly respected past performances.
#9: “The Sandman” Tentative Release: Unknown
Top 10 Most Anticipated Disney Movies of 2022
As confirmed by comic book creator Neil Gaiman, an upcoming Sandman film is believed to be in the works, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt attached. Published under DC’s Vertigo imprint, “The Sandman” has served as the standard-bearer and flagship title of the burgeoning brand. Acclaimed for its stunning visuals and beautiful story, the series focuses on Dream, otherwise known as Morpheus, who is the Lord of Dreams, his capture and the growth he experiences as a result. With series regular Wesley Dodds previously appearing in an episode of “Smallville,” it will be interesting to see a big screen adaptation of the superhero in the years to come.
#8: “Shazam!” Tentative Release: 2019
Top 10 Most Powerful Shazam Moments
First brought to the big screen as the star of a film serial all the way back in 1941, it’s safe to say it’s about time Billy Batson’s alter ego got the big budget treatment. A 12-year-old boy who turns himself into the incredibly powerful superhero Captain Marvel by uttering the word “Shazam,” this character’s abilities have even allowed him to go toe to toe with Superman. Meanwhile, the casting of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the hero’s archenemy Black Adam has ramped up anticipation for this film.
#7: “Man of Steel” sequel Tentative Release: Unknown
Every Single Anticipated Disney Release of 2021
Superman is without question one of the most renowned and popular comic book characters created in recent times for a reason. Immensely powerful but all too human in his feeling of isolation and constant attempts to make himself a better man, there is something about him that nearly everyone can relate to and have fun with. Now that the world that he inhabits has been fleshed out and destruction has reigned supreme in the 2013 Zack Snyder-directed flick, we can’t wait to see how the man/alien, his surroundings and the perception of him will shift.
#6: “Aquaman” Tentative Release: 2018
Top 10 Things You Didn’t Know About the Aquaman Movie
For many years, Aquaman has been treated as a joke by shows like “Robot Chicken,” and other comedy figures, but the one thing most of those who mock him have in common is that they know nothing about him. Recreated years ago and turned into an utter badass who is among the most powerful characters in all of DC, Aquaman deserves to be treated seriously and brought to the big screen as the badass he is. And when it was confirmed that “Game of Thrones”’ absolute ass-kicking machine Jason Momoa would be taking on the role, we were all a lot more happy and confident that Aquaman will finally be done justice on the silver screen.
#5: “Wonder Woman” Tentative Release: 2017
Top 10 Anticipated Superhero Upcoming Movies
Brought to life by actress Lynda Carter in the ‘70s, Wonder Woman is considered one of the most powerful characters in the DC universe and an inspiration to many people worldwide. As the first female superhero character to ever be announced as the lead in a movie, it’s certainly been a long time coming. Set to be directed by Michelle MacLaren, we look forward to seeing what the gorgeous Gal Gadot will bring to a character we’ve known and loved for years in the upcoming superheroine flick.
#4: “Batman” stand-alone Tentative Release: Unknown
Top 20 Animated Batman Movies
When it comes to Batman, the one word that we most associate him with is cool. A dark character who comes out of the shadows of the night to dole out justice to those who think they’re above it, the Caped Crusader’s had a huge impact on film history – especially during the last few decades. With notable actors like Adam West, Michael Keaton and Christian Bale previously acting under the cowl, and a multitude of animated adaptations as well, we can’t wait to see series newbie Ben Affleck try his hand at the crime stopper.
#3: “Suicide Squad” Tentative Release: 2016
Top 10 Over The Top Suicide Squad Characters
When Warner Bros. announced the slate of DC live action films they intend to release in the coming years and they got to the “Suicide Squad,” it had a lot of people scratching their heads. However, a film featuring Harley Quinn, the Joker and a team comprised of villains who’ve opted to act as heroes for early prison releases does sound awesome. Add in the casting of Margot Robbie as Harley, Jared Leto as the Joker and Will Smith as Deadshot; and now, we really can’t wait.
#2: “Justice League Part One” Tentative Release: 2017
Top 10 Best Moments In Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One
Once Marvel proved that it was possible to make a successful movie about a superhero team, everyone was waiting for DC to follow suit. So when they announced their plans for a “Justice League” film, we knew that our prayers had been answered. Bringing together Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman, among others, into one film seemed like a fantasy just a year ago. Now we find ourselves on the precipice of it becoming a reality in a massive film that will be split into two parts released two years apart. Before we reveal our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. - “Green Lantern” Tentative Release: 2020 - “Cyborg” Tentative Release: 2020 - “Lego Batman” spinoff Tentative Release: 2017
#1: “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” Tentative Release: 2016
Top 10 Things We Want To See in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
It all begins here. Though it may not be the first film in DC Comics’ shared universe, this superhero flick can be considered the one that’ll be starting it all off. Aside from a series of vague Easter eggs scattered throughout various media, there has never been direct contact between DC’s superheroes on the big screen before. For the uninitiated who think it’s a slam-dunk that Supes will destroy the masked man from Gotham, we’re thinking you’ll have another think coming when this film hits a theater near you.
