DC Comics
Quick question: what do you have going on in your life for, oh, like the next six years? You’re free? Awesome, because Hollywood has just changed that for you in a big, big way. You’re busy now. Yes, for the next six years. With yesterday’s announcement of Warner Bros.’ extensive DC Comics-centric release schedule – which starts in 2016 and goes like a freight train all the way up until 2020 – the superhero movies landscape has ballooned out to almost unfathomable levels. Remember when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice seemed like a distant dream? Just wait until you hear how long you have to wait for your Green Lantern reboot (hint: it’s a long time).
Get out your day planners, people (okay, fine, your phones), and let’s plan out our next six years of superheroic movie-going madness. Print it out. Stick it on your fridge. Tell your friends. And buckle up.
