WB's Long-Term Plans For The DC Movie Universe Have Apparently Been Revealed

WB and DC had planned to announce their long-term vision at next month's San Diego Comic Con, but someone leaked the info to Nikki Finke, and now we have the tentative DC slate through 2018. This is it:

May 2016 - BATMAN V. SUPERMAN
July 2016 - SHAZAM
Xmas 2016 - SANDMAN
May 2017 - JUSTICE LEAGUE
July 2017 - WONDER WOMAN
XMAS 2017 - UNTITLED GREEN LANTERN/THE FLASH TEAM-UP
MAY 2018 - MAN OF STEEL 2

Finke notes that the BATMAN V. SUPERMAN delay was due to contractual issues with the future JUSTICE LEAGUE actors, several of whom will make cameos in BVS. They need to have those actors tied down to multi-picture deals ala Marvel before they go before cameras.

Shazam is just a less popular Superman. You'd think they would build up other JLA heroes before the eventual big JLA movie like Marvel did with the Avengers.

I like the Superman/Batman fight while throwing in WW to make the big 3. Then they quickly get Cyborg & Aquaman casted. So now we have a Green Arrow on tv and Flash will be along shortly. Still missing a few more before the JLA can er, ahhh "assemble" if you will.
