DC’s movies don’t all share one story. James Gunn’s Superman (2025) started a new shared universe, with David Corenswet taking over as the Man of Steel. Supergirl (2026) follows his cousin Kara in that same world. Superman’s story will continue in Man of Tomorrow, scheduled for July 9, 2027. The Batman films starring Robert Pattinson belong to a separate series.
DC’s LEGO movies have brought a playful version of its characters to the screen. The LEGO Batman Movie came out in 2017, giving Batman his own comedy after his appearance in The LEGO Movie. The animated films also adapt comic book stories and explore versions of the heroes that differ from the live-action movies.
DC Comics has been producing American classics for over a half century. With legendary characters like Batman and Superman, this iconic company is going to be producing amazing movies for many more years. With their aggressive plans for the future, we’re all in for a wild ride as more of our favorite superheroes come to life. As time goes on, I’ll try and keep this list complete and up to date as much as I can.
