GREEN LANTERN (June 17th, 2011)
Director: Martin Campbell
Producers: Donald De Line, Greg Berlanti, Andrew Haas, Geoff Johns
Writers: Greg Berlanti, Marc Gruggenheim, Michael Green, Michael Goldenberg
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Mark Strong, Peter Saarsgard, Angela Basset, Tim Robbins
Notes of Interest: The FIRST OFFICIAL TRAILER is attached to Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows - Part 1. This should give us the first look at the finished product for the Green Lantern suit, first look at Mark Strong in full as Sinestro, final look at Hector Hammond, the Guardians, Oa and much more!
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (July 20, 2012)
Director: Christopher Nolan
Producers: Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas
Writers: Christopher Nolan, David Goyer, Jonathan Nolan
Starring: Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Morgan Freeman
Notes of Interest: Tom Hardy has been cast in a main role but an unknown one. He could be a villain or a good guy or maybe in between. IMDB is listing him as Harvey Bullock, a slightly corrupt cop from the comics. It won't be filmed in 3D thank the lord and will look to keep in the same look, feel and tone of The Dark Knight. The Riddler won't be in the film either leaving speculation going through the roof. Christopher Nolan is now meeting with female actresses aged late 20s early 30s to discuss the leading female role in the fimled, highly believed to be that of Selina Kyle / Catwoman but everybody was assured of The Riddler so who knows.
THE MAN OF STEEL (December 17, 2012)
Director: Zack Snyder
Producers: Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas, Deborah Snyder
Writers: David Goyer, Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan
Starring: No Cast Yet
Notes of Interest: The story was linked to being based on Superman: Birthright but this was debunked by Snyder himself. Snyder said that the plot will focus on the early days of Superman just starting out, "we are dealing with a young Superman" were his words also. Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer and Jon Hamm are the early favourites for the role but Hammer has dismissed his linking saying he won't get the role. He also said that he believes that Warner Bros. are looking at a 35 - 40 year old Superman, contradicting what Snyder has said. Hans Zimmer who composes Christopher Nolan's films said that if he is involved in the Superman project, he would create a brand new score for the film with hints of John Williams' theme. General Zod was rumoured to be the main villain but this debunked a few days later. The original plot details leaked way back in February that said Brainiac and Lex Luthor to be the villains was never debunked which is interesting.
THE FLASH (June, 2013)
Director: No Director Attached
Producers: Donald De Line, Greg Berlanti, Geoff Johns
Writers: Greg Berlanti, Marc Gruggenheim, Michael Green
Starring: No Cast Yet
Notes of Interest: The FIRST DRAFT of the Flash script will be handed in by Christmas to Warner Bros. for approval. Marc Gruggenheim said that he is a fan of crossing over the films like Marvel and is always open to ideas, sparking rumours that Jay Garrick may cameo in the film. The film will have a darker tone then what people expect from reading the comics and will be staying close to the Barry Allen comics but updated for the 21st century. It will have a CSI element to the story as well as the superhero element and an athletic element. The villain is rumoured to be Captain Cold.
WONDER WOMAN (August, 2013)
Director: No Director Attached
Producers: Joel Silver, Geoff Johns
Writers: David Goyer?
Starring: No Cast Yet
Notes of Interest: Warner Bros./DC Entertainment are developing a brand new Wonder Woman TV Series. The Wonder Woman film is still listed in development and is still going forward with a rumoured 2013 release date. The film is still listed under Silver Pictures and Geoff Johns will be overseeing the project and Exec. Producing like on Green Lanter and The Flash. David Goyer is rumoured to be attached to the film in some capacity as either a Writer or Director. He could however be the writer and Producer of the Wonder Woman TV Series, much like the Blade series.
AQUAMAN (March, 2014)
Director: No Director Attached
Producers: Geoff Johns
Writers: No Writers Attached
Starring: No Cast Yet
Notes of Interest: There is no news at all regarding Aquaman who than a quote from Barry Meyer saying that the film is still in development and heading for a 2014 release date and that it is still attached to Leonardo DiCaprio's Production company Appian Way. Given that it is 4 years away and there is films before this, expect more news regarding writers, producers etc in 2011 when realistically they can start fully developing the film.

It will focus on the downfall of Sinestro who becomes obsessed with the yellow power displayed by Krona/Parallax in the first film going against the Guardians' wishes and finding the Yellow Central Battery.
JUSTICE LEAGUE (TBA)
Director:
Producers: Geoff Johns
Writers:
Starring:
Notes of Interest: Geoff Johns has said that there isn't any plans in DC Entertainment's development room for a Justice League movie because the characters are too big in there own right and can hold their own movies but IF one is made, he will most likely be Exec. Producing like the rest of the films. In honesty, a Justice League film is 90% sure to come out in 2015. It roughly takes 3 years to fully develop a film to releasing it. Green Lantern was first scripted in 2008, it is coming out in 2011 for example. The Avengers comes out in 2012 and if it is a success, DCE/Warner Bros. are almost certain to sanction a Justice League film immediately and 2012 + 3 = ...
