The DC Extended Universe (DCEU) is an American media franchise and shared fictional universe that is centered on a series of superhero films, produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and based on characters that appear in publications by DC Comics. The shared universe, much like the original DC Universe in comic books, will be established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters.
The first film released in the DCEU was Man of Steel (2013), a reboot of the Superman film series, followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). The next film released in the series was Suicide Squad, also in 2016, followed by Wonder Woman (2017). Other future films in development include The Flash (2018), Aquaman (2018), Shazam (2019), Cyborg (2020), Green Lantern Corps (2020), and a two-part Justice League film, with Part One releasing in 2017, and Part Two in 2019. All films are being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
