Ok, first lets look at the positives. Obviously you have BvS:DOJ which could be one of the most anticipated comic book movies ever. You also have a Green Lantern/Flash team up movie which is a great idea because you can reboot Green Lantern and get Flash on the big screen in a large but not main role. I've been waiting for them to finally give Flash his movie debut. But the best movie on that list in my opinion, after BvS and JL, is in July 2017. Finally, we will see a standalone Wonder Woman movie! She is one of the best super-heroines in the comics, and her on screen debut is long overdue. I'm hoping Gal Gadot does Wonder Woman justice, because a lot is riding on her. I am highly anticipating MOS 2 because I loved the first one and I am looking forward to more from Henry Cavills development as Clark Kent, and his relationship with Lois Lane(Amy Adams).
Now a few negatives about this list. First, man is it crowded in just a small window of time. I do not care how many movies Marvel has come out with. One thing that will ruin D.C. chances of competing with Marvel is lack of quality. Marvel is absolutely destroying the movie world right now, and not just because of quantity, their movies are solid. In my opinion, Ironman 2 was the worst of the Avengers movies, but I'd watch that over Green Lantern, Batman Forever, and Batman and Robin and any Superman movie before Man of Steel. I'd rather have them take their time and get it right. Speaking of Man of Steel, boy is Henry Cavill getting a raw deal. A standalone sequel to MOS 5 years and 6 movies after the first one?!?! I know he is doing Batman v Superman, but that's nothing more than a Justice League prequel given all the characters being announced. I would have liked to see a MOS sequel leading into BvS and JL, so that we could see his character develop more and also see how is adapting to his power before running into Batman. Maybe he is still struggling between Mortality and Immortality and that's how Batman will have a chance to defeat him. I'm disappointed that they have not yet confirmed an Aquaman movie. If they develop Aquaman correctly, he will be a force to be reckon with.
It's definitely is a great lineup for D.C. Just hope that they take their time and do it right, or D.C. will never be able to Avenge their lost time(See what I did there). So what do you think of the lineup, which movie are you most anticipating.
Let me know in the comments.
