If the list of Warner Bros. movie announcements planned for Comic-Con International is even half as long as Nikki Finke's sources indicate, DC Comics fans will likely leave Hall H next month very happy.

The Deadline founder launched her eponymous website today with a purported development slate that, while characterized as "in flux," certainly qualifies as ambitious:

  • May 2016 ? Batman v Superman
  • July 2016 ? Shazam
  • Xmas 2016 ? Sandman
  • May 2017 ? Justice League
  • July 2017 ? Wonder Woman
  • Xmas 2017 ? Flash and Green Lantern team-up
  • May 2018 ? Man Of Steel 2
The date for "Batman v Superman" was, of course, already known, but Finke contends its move from July 2015 to May 2016 wasn't due to the script or the availability of Ben Affleck or Jesse Eisenberg, but rather because Warner Bros. needed to negotiate multi-picture deals with the actors who will make cameos as heroes like Cyborg, Aquaman, Green Lantern and The Flash before going on to appear in "Justice League" and, in some cases, their own movies.

Aside from the number and frequency of superhero films -- three each in 2016 and 2017 -- the rumored lineup contains several surprises, not the least of which is the timing of "Justice League," which initial reports indicated was unlikely to arrive before 2018.

I wonder who they want for Shazam!

Same here! And pretty much all the other un-casted heroes. Definitely looking forward to that Green Lantern/Flash team-up as well. Always loved the dynamic/chemistry between the two.

Yeah I was surprised to not see Batman there, maybe Affleck will just appear in cameos

Hopefully not! I think they're still planning and that the Batman films will be a bit after the JL film, much like Man of Steel 2.

The others will have to come first, Batman is a sure thing, no need to rush it out compared to a WW and Flash/GL movie etc.  Also doing a new Batman after MoS2 sounds like a good plan because then you can lead that into a second JL movie.

That's for sure. And a Batman film might be too soon after The Dark Knight Rises.

Yup, look at Spideman, at least in the US each new film is doing less and less, they rebooted it way too soon IMO.

Yeah, that reboot was so soon and unexpected :/ Though I must admit that it kinda feels different for Batman to me.

Dwayne Johnson was mentioned for Shazam in April, and he wants a DC part. Black Adam and John Stewart were his first choices, but...

That's true and the reboots are a lot better than the previous 3. But I believe they did set a record for how long it took to start a reboot :p

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
