I believe that it is fair to say that since the release of Zack
Snyder’s ‘Man Of Steel’, Warner Bros’ DC Cinematic Universe has
undergone major evolutions with many films being announced and many
being subsequently cancelled. However, before going into the details
everyone has been waiting for regarding the upcoming DC movie slate,
it’s time to look back at the initial movie slate that Warner Bros
released for the DCEU in late 2014.

From that slate in 2014, below is the updated version of that slate,
including what films were released, the ones that are in development
and the ones that have been cancelled as of writing.

We do already have some dated DCEU films for the future that have been
officially announced. This includes ‘Joker’ (October 5th, 2019),
‘Birds of Prey’ (February 7th, 2020), ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ (June 5th,
2020), ‘The Batman’ (June 25th, 2021), ‘The Suicide Squad’ (August
6th, 2021) and ‘Aquaman 2’ (December 16th, 2022).
With all of these films dated, it seems that Warner Bros are going
into full gear with their DC Cinematic Universe. Recently executives
at Warner Bros have stated that the DC Cinematic Universe will begin
to move into a stand-alone approach rather than having solo films
build up to a ‘Justice League’ film. Most of these films that have
been dated indicate this and furthermore, information that I will
present in this article will provide more credence towards how the
Current Position of the DC Cinematic Universe is to forego a fully
interconnected universe and instead focus on standalone stories. I’ll
be touching on films that are not yet in production so unfortunately
there will be no new ‘Joker’, ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ and ‘Birds of Prey’
news in this article.
