The Future of DC Comics in Movies



DC Comics are reportedly set to make a series of superhero movies in the near future. I'm happy to hear WB has finally waken up and is now starting to push forward on the DC Universe. Rumors of solo movies from the Flash, Martian Manhunter, and possibly Aquaman, will have fanboys everywhere excited for the next few years to come.  With the success of Man of Steel, Zack Synder has taken the reigns and is directing the Batman vs Superman movie (title not offical) and the recently announced Justice League movie set to come out in 2017. We found out that Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) will be joining Superman (Henry Cavill), Batman (Ben Affleck), and Lex Luther (Jesse Eisenberg) in the 2016 May release. This movie will be the launching point for the Justice League movies we have all been waiting for. DC needs to be very careful with the movies they are planning to launch. The next few years will be very interesting to see if DC will be able to match the movies Marvel is dishing out. I wish to see DC take a more serious and mature approach to these movies. Marvel has seem to found their style and is profiting very well. Marvel has made a product that is very marketable and it looks like the guys at Marvel really know what they're doing. I hope DC can learn from them but make it their own. Zack Synder's Batman vs Superman movie has the DC Universe on its shoulders. Too bad we still have to wait another 2 years before we can see it. We'll keep you posted!!
