I can't reveal too much about myself to avoid any sort of traceback due to a lot of legal stuff. But I am a massive DC fan working for a DC company and knowing information is too hard to keep quiet. I know if I was a fan I'd want to know bits of information about my favourite films but not too much to be spoilt. So here are bits and bobs that I know (not everything is mapped out in the DCCU; a rough outline of the main storyline [Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League 1 & 2] with the spin off solo outings having more licence of freedom for the respective creative teams). Zack Snyder, David Goyer & Geoff Johns are the head creative team for the DCCU. They have been brainstorming the ideas for the outline storyline much like Kevin Fiege and his team do for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Johns will be Exec. Producing a lot if not all the films as will Goyer.

Suicide Squad

This film has been in development for some time. David Ayer is Directing and I believe David Goyer wrote a rough story treatment for the film but don't think he will be on scripting duties, he may be producing though. I believe Deadshot is the lead character and leader of the Squad and it also features (and sets up) Amanda Waller in the DCCU who could play a big role in future films. The film will be grounded and gritty and won't feautre 'comicy' villains such as King Shark etc. They will all be humans (some may have powers) with exceptional skills and very bad criminal records. Harley Quinn may be in the film. 

Wonder Woman

Goyer also wrote a treatment for this film and may be writing the screenplay for the film. Not too sure on this one plotwise however but a good guess would be that it will be set half in Diana's past and half in the present day with the different time periods linking together for a cohesive story.

Justice League: Part One

The big one. Snyder is directing, Chris Terrio is writing the screenplay from a story by Snyder, Goyer and Terro. The Justice League line up is the same 7 as the New 52. And like the new 52 Cyborg's origin is intergrated into the story. Batman and Superman drive the film forward as the 2 main characters. Brainiac IS the villain and it is one of his drone's that is merged with Victor Stone at STAR Labs and how he becomes Cyborg. Brainiac's aim is to "collect" Superman, the last Kryptonian and also collect Diana and Aquaman before assimilating all of Earth's knowledge and technology before destroying the planet. Expect supporting characters from each of the heroes to be on show. Green Lantern will be Hal Jordan who has already been a Green Lantern for a year or two and returns to Earth to stop the invasion.

The Flash

Will be set after the events of Justice League and Professor Zoom is believed to be the villain with appearances from a couple of rogues. Story will centre a lot on Barry feeling's toward his mothers death when he was younger and possibility that it will hint at Flashpoint being a possible future movie storyline.

Aquaman

Solo outing featuring the full range of Aquaman's impressive supporting cast. Orm is believed to be the central villain wanting to take the Atlantean thrown for himself by working with Black Manta and his army in a story similar to how Dawn of the Planet of the Apes played out replacing Cesar with Orin and Koba with Orm. Studio want a big name director. 

Shazam

Will be set in the DCCU. Will be an origin story of Billy Batson that will follow the new 52 origin where he lives with a foster family. 

Justice League: Part 2

Darkseid will be the main villain. Again Batman and Superman are the main characters. The film will also deal with other heroes emerging that are capable of appearing alongside the League such as Green Arrow, Captain Atom etc those types of heroes. 

Cyborg

Not sure on this movie as I wasn't aware this was happening. Have to do some digging on this but my gut instinct is that this slot may move for another movie (ie Batman solo movie or Superman solo movie)

Green Lantern

I know a fair bit of details on this one. The film will centre on the Green Lantern Corps and will be set entirely in space. The main characters will be a small task force of Green Lanterns who go up against other Corps. There is a plan for multiple human Lanterns. Goyer & Geoff Johns are looking closely at this project.

That's all I have to share right now.

Hope it's true about Brainiac and Darkseid.

Should have posted stuff about BvS, though.

The one thing that makes no sense to me is, why WB isn't adding J'onn J'onzz the Martian Manhunter. He is more famous then Cyborg and has a history with Darkseid. His brother Ma'alefa'ak J'onzz is a disciple of Darkseid's. Grant Morrison's Justice League run is one of the best JLA stories out there, that it's odd to here no news on MM. I would be fine if MM doesn't appear until JL2 with Hal and the rest of the Green Lantern Corps, but to have him not in the DCCU is just weird to me.

I really am not a fan of no comic book weirdos in the Suicide Squad. That to me makes the comic book series even more fun and interesting. So that's disheartening to hear.

I hope this version of Brainiac isn't an AI. The reason why is I always disliked that portrayal. I know that version is famous because of Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League, but I have always preferred the comic version that he is an alien instead. It will be great to finally see Brainiac. I can think of him taking control of the power grid and every electric based weapon, then using it against the JL members.

Zoom isn't who I would have wanted in the Flash. The reason why he will be on the Flash tv show. Seeing Gorilla Grodd and Gorilla City would have been great. Throw in Jay Garrick and it would be even better.

The idea for Aquaman sounds interesting. Hopefully seeing as Peter Jackson is done with the Hobbit he can work on that world next. I'd really like to see Lennie James as Black Manta, but after Ezra Miller is Barry Allen the chances of someone good that I want in the movie won't be happening. The Shazam movie should be good, more so if Billy Batson's superhero name is Captain Marvel instead of Shazam. It will be interesting to see who will be playing the goofball character, Captain Marvel that us comic fans like.

I hope one of those new characters will be the Martian Manhunter in JL2. Hawkman, Hawkwoman, Icon, Plastic Man, Firestorm, Blue Beetle & Booster Gold would be great too.

I too am surprised that Cyborg is getting his own movie. I personally hope it will be an adult Titans movie instead. If there can be a Flash on tv as the same time, as the one on the big screen I see no reason that Titans can't be on the big screen too. Maybe I'm wrong, but it takes all the Titans to stop Deathstroke, so how can Cyborg do it by himself. So a Titans movie with him, Nightwing, Beastboy, Raven & Starfire makes more sense to me.

The idea that the Green Lantern movie, will be a Green Lantern Corps movie instead is great. I so would enjoy seeing Saint Walker and Carol Ferris working with the GLC. I think having the Sinestro Corps working with Atrocitus and the Red Lantern Corps would be great. I can envision lots of cool space battles, Hal fighting in a Mech, John fighting in a weird looking spaceship, Guy using a heavy armored Zeppelin & Kyle flying on the back of a dragon. I think that truly is the best way, that the whole movie will be set in space.

I know you don't talk about it, but do you know why there is no new on Justice League Dark? I can only hope WB will decide to make three movies a year so that Justice League Dark and other movies can be made. I'm not sure if this is true or not but thanks for the info. As you can see from my super long post, I'm a DC fan and am hungry for more info. Again thanks.

I'm eager to know officially how the DCCU will pan out.

I'm just hoping it will all be successful and please everyone.

If this was leaked BEFORE WB announced the future DCCU film list then I would have believed it. But we knew must of this already and the rest sounds like speculation.

Since this hasn't been taken off it's probably speculation.

all of this sounds awesome except for the part about Goyer writing Wonder Woman. God no. Please. That will be a huge mistake

So because he won't be in the JusticeLeague means he won't be in the DCCU?

So, and I'm just spit balling here, but if Scott Lang isn't in the Avengers does that mean he does not exist in the MCU?

Honest question.

@Dev7
Before. Simply because the film comes out before Avengers 2 does not at all mean he'll be in The Avengers. But see that's some dumb logic to say, "Well cause Marvel hasn't said Ant-Man is in the Avengers, it obviously means he won't be in the Avengers." Kinda like the logic behind "Oh, WB said Shazam isn't a Justice League member so his film obviously isn't connected to the DCCU" is some dumb logic.
