With Henry Cavill\u2019s Superman sequel cancelled (and with Wonder Woman 3 <\/em>cancelled), keeping track of the DC Comics TV shows and films currently in the works is getting a bit confusing.<\/p>\n

Never fear, we\u2019ve got you covered. Here\u2019s your definitive list of every DC film and TV show currently being made, confirmed to be still in the works at the time of writing. Release dates are, of course, subject to change, so be prepared for that.\n<\/p>\n

Every DC Comics movie in the works<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ll start with upcoming DC films in order of release date, followed by TV shows, including those ongoing and in the works. Here\u2019s some sizzle-reel for some upcoming projects (and The Batman<\/em>).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Shazam! Fury Of The Gods<\/h3>\n

A sequel to Shazam!<\/em>, featuring the titular superhero and his sibling superheroes, Shazam! Fury Of The Gods<\/a><\/em> is set to feature Kalypso and Hespera as the villains, two antagonists from the DC comics (it\u2019ll also be set in the DCEU). This time around, the kids will of course be a bit older, which could mean some mature themes, but hopefully, it retains the charm of the first film. Shazam! Fury Of The Gods<\/strong> <\/em>hits theatres on March 17, 2023.<\/b><\/p>\n

Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom<\/h3>\n

The sequel to Aquaman<\/em>, starring Jason Momoa as the king of Atlantis, the story of Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom<\/em><\/a> hasn\u2019t been teased out all that much. Supposedly Aquaman will wear a blue suit and Black Manta will return, but that\u2019s as much as we know, really. It\u2019ll be set in the DCEU and will be directed by James Wan. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom<\/em><\/strong> is coming on December 25, 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Flash<\/h3>\n

Next up is The Flash<\/em><\/a>, which seems to look a bit like an adaption of Flashpoint<\/em>, one of the best DC comics series\u2019 featuring The Flash. Starring Michael Keaton as his incarnation of Batman, along with a new version of Supergirl, we can expect to see The Flash<\/em> before the end of 2023. It\u2019ll be set in the DCEU, featuring Ezra Miller as the fastest man alive, although we expect it to cross many universes. It\u2019ll be directed by Andr\u00e9s Muschietti. Expect to see The Flash<\/strong> <\/em>on June 16, 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Blue Beetle<\/h3>\n

Blue Beetle<\/em>? Look, I didn\u2019t know they were even doing a Blue Beetle<\/em> movie<\/a> until I started researching this article, but what you need to know is that he\u2019s one of DC\u2019s lesser-known heroes with powers like flight, enhanced strength and weapon production, kind of like Iron Man\u2019s nanotech suit (if you do know of him outside of the DC comics, it\u2019s probably from Injustice 2<\/em>). Blue Beetle<\/em><\/a> will be directed by Angel Manuel Soto and it\u2019ll be set in the DCEU. It\u2019s also expected that Susan Sarandon will play the villain<\/a>. Blue Beetle<\/strong> <\/em>is slated to open in theatres on August 17, 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Joker: Folie \u00e0 Deux<\/h3>\n

The sequel to Joker, Joker: Folie \u00e0 Deux <\/em>is set to star Lady Gaga<\/a>, with Todd Philips returning to direct. A release date for Joker: Folie \u00e0 Deux<\/em><\/strong> is currently expected for October 4, 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Black Canary<\/h3>\n

While we haven\u2019t heard about the Black Canary <\/em>movie<\/a> in some time, it hasn\u2019t been formally cancelled. Last year, it was reported that the Black Canary<\/em> movie was a spinoff to the Birds of Prey<\/em> film, which in itself was a spinoff story from Suicide Squad<\/em> and the Batman-wing of DC films. It\u2019ll star Jurnee Smollett as Black Canary, who played the same role in Birds of Prey<\/em>. A release date hasn\u2019t been announced yet.<\/p>\n

Constantine 2<\/h3>\n

A sequel to the 2005 film Constantine<\/em>, starring Keanu Reeves in the titular role of the fan favourite DC magician, has been announced<\/a>. This means that JJ Abrams\u2019 Constantine series<\/a> is in limbo.<\/p>\n

A Superman movie with a new Superman<\/h3>\n

While Henry Cavill will not be returning to the role<\/a>, the next Superman movie has been confirmed as a movie about a younger Superman, written by James Gunn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Every upcoming DC TV shows<\/h2>\n

Below you\u2019ll find some upcoming TV shows, with an idea of when you can expect them.<\/p>\n

Gotham Knights<\/h3>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Gotham Knights<\/em><\/a> will air on March 14, 2023, produced by the CW which also created The Flash<\/em> (the series) and Arrow<\/em>. Reportedly, it\u2019s disconnected from other DC projects and borrows its name quite heavily from the game with the same title.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Green Lantern<\/h3>\n

As pointed out by CBR, the Green Lantern<\/em> HBO Max TV series is on its way<\/a>, with consultant producer Lamong Magee saying he\u2019s just finished up another DC show for HBO Max. The Green Lantern<\/em> TV series features producer Greg Berlanti (of the Arrowverse), who also co-wrote the 2011 Green Lantern<\/em> movie (you know, the bad one). James Gunn has also stressed how important the series is to DC<\/a>. Seth Grahame-Smith is set to be the showrunner and the show is expected to debut in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Batman: Arkham spinoff and Penguin spinoff<\/h3>\n

Loved The Batman? <\/em>Well, there are two spinoffs in the works. Though the Gotham PD<\/em> show has evolved into a story about Arkham Asylum inmates,<\/a> another spinoff has been confirmed, focusing on The Penguin. HBO Max has ordered a series of The Penguin<\/em><\/a> spinoff starring Colin Farrell\u2019s Penguin, with Matt Reeves producing the project. The Penguin<\/em> is the working title, without a release date set.<\/p>\n

Ongoing TV shows<\/h2>\n

The following TV shows aren\u2019t new, but they\u2019re ongoing, meaning they\u2019ve either got consistent episodes coming out at the time of writing or they have a new season confirmed to be in production.<\/p>\n
