"Jonah Hex"
Release Date: 16th June 2010
Summary: Jonah Hex is a gun wielding vigilante in the late 19th century who is tracking down a terrorist who plans to re-start and win the Civil War
Director: Jimmy Hayward
Writer: Neveldine/Taylor

Jonah Hex is the first DC movie of the new decade and although will not be set in the same universe as DC other up and coming movies, will be the first to be released in a continued succession and with the beautiful Megan Fox cast, Jonah Hex will be a sure hit.

"Green Lantern"
Release Date: 17th June 2011
Summary: A dying Alien lands on earth along with a power which finds a worthy successor, Air Force test pilot Hal Jordan. Jordan is introduced to a world in the far universe where he is innitiated into the Green Lantern's trained under the stewardship of Sinestro.
Director: Martin Campbell
Writer: Marc Gruggenheim, Michale Green & Greg Berlanti

Green Lantern is the first DC Comics super hero movie that is deep into development with Ryan Reynolds signed on to play Hal Jordan with this movie becoming the stepping stone for DC's other super hero movies that are in development, with cameos from Clark Kent, Guy Gardner that will tie into other mothers.

"Lobo"
Release Date: Unknown (2012)
Summary: Lobo is an intergalactic Bounty Hunter Anti-Hero who comes to earth in search of fugitives.
Director: Guy Ritchie
Writer: Unkown

Lobo is the film to watch as it will be the underdog film that will be a hit with fans because of the anti-hero nature of the character as well as the gritty feel the film will have under the stewardship of Guy Ritchie.

"The Flash"
Release Date: Unknown (2012)
Summary: Barry Allen is a Police scienists who is the alter ego of the super hero, Flash. When he takes his nephew Wally West to his place of work, a freak accident grants Wally the same powers as his uncle, unbeknown to him. Wally grows up and eventually takes the mantle of the Flash.
Director: None Attached
Writer: Geoff Johns & Dan Mazeau

Having bene in development hell for years with various directors and scripts being penned, the announcement of Geoff Johns writer and producing the film will mean that the film will recieve an ironic speeding up of the project with John's working as DC advisor to all DC Movies.

"Batman 3"
Release Date: Unknown (2012)
Summary: There is no script but cast members have shed light on the outline of the movie which would have Commisioner Gordon force to hunt down his friend Batman who took the blame for Two-Face's murders. As well as running from the police, a new villain in Gotham nicknamed The Riddler toys with Batman.
Director: Chris Nolan
Writer: Chris Nolan & Jonathan Nolan

Following Heath Ledger's death, Chris Nolan has decided to take a break from the Batman series and is unsure of making a fated third movie unless he finds the right story. He has had discussion and notes on a story and simply needs to confirm and finish a script and the rest will follow with all cast members expected to return.

"Superman Reboot"
Release Date: Unknown (2011/12/13)
Summary: No script but would involve Clark Kent becoming Superman but is sure not to involve Krypton and his growing up due to a "STUPID" legal court case!!
Director: James McTeigue (Rumoured but nothing confirmed)
Writer: Unknown

This is the movie in the most limbo with the iddiotic court case in which Warner Bros. just wants to make a good movie for fans and the Seigel heirs just want money!!!! It has no script, no writer and no director although James McTeigue has been heavily linked to the project. Hopefully I will win the lottery and buy out the heirs and will make the movie myself as this is the movie I am most looking forward to and would want it to involve Krypton and the Krypton version is the Donner version of Kryptonian society.

"Wonder Woman"
Release Date: Unknown (2012/13)
Summary: Diana Prince of a mythical Greek island comes to "Man's Land" and with the magical armour and equipment with her, becomes the super hero known as Wonder Woman.
Director:
Writer: Matt Jennison & Brent Strickland

There is no script but Warner Bros. posses a couple of previous motted scripts and with the recent successfuly Aniamted movie, this franchise is looking more healthy by the minute. There is plenty of suitable Wonder Woman candidates with Megan Fox a favourite but with her likely to scoop the role of Lois Lane in the Superman Reboot, the role may go else where.

"Justice League"
Release: Unknown (2014)
Summary: When a threat too big for earth's heroes to handle individually, Superman gathers together earth's heroes to defeat the threat as a team, becoming the Justice League.
Director: None
Writer: None

After the failed Justice League: Mortal director by George Miller, which frankly is a good thing DC has decided to use Marvel's idea of individual movies then lead to a team up movie. However, a big boost would be to include Nolan's Batman universe.

I don't see how this is front page news...there is no source to confirm all of this. Guy Gardner cameo in GL? Megan Fox likely to get Lois Lane? Riddler confirmed for Batman 3? Either this is all speculation or I haven't been following the CB movie news at ALL.

Fox for Lois Lane!?!?! What the hell is that!?

And what's with the Flash origin only being developed over West? Allen was the original police forensics individual hit by lightning (from the speedforce we are learning) and chemicals. Me no like that.

No lame Doomsday introductions for Supes. Routh should no longer be attached either.

No Riddler for Bats...yet. Joker should only be a chuckling shadow in an Arkam cell.
