DC Comics Characters to the Big Screen!


I've never believed in the whole Marvel vs. DC nonsense, I consider myself a firm fan of both, and that is why I am so excited to see DC and WB finally doing something with so many of their fantastic superhero franchises. Just next Summer, we're getting the first in a new wave of superhero flicks (granted this wave will be somewhat connected with Chris Nolan's Batman franchise, so it's not all that new). Green Lantern is coming out next Summer, starring Ryan Reynolds as the best Green Lantern of them all, Hal Jordan. I'm an absolute Green Lantern nut, so that's enough, right?

Well, just today WB Entertainment Chairman and CEO, Barry Meyer mentioned that the studio is not only releasing Batman 3 Summer 2012, but that they are also eying a Holiday 2012 release for the Chris Nolan-produced Superman movie that was announced a few months back. This is all exciting news, seeing as how we didn't have even a vague date for the Man of Steel's next adventure till now, but that's not all. Meyer mentioned that the studio is close to starting production on The Flash, a project that has long been rumored to be in development at the studio for years, he also mentioned development has started on Wonder Woman and Aquaman as well. Regardless, the next few years should be exciting for us comic book fans. Marvel had better watch out.
