Warner Bros. revealed new release dates for several films today, including DC films, The Batman, The Flash movie Flashpoint, and Shazam 2! We already know Wonder Woman 1984 was pushed back to August 14, 2020. The push back is due to the coronavirus pandemic that is sweeping across the globe.

The Batman – October 1, 2021
The Flash – June 3, 2022
Shazam 2! – November 4, 2022
Deadline reports that a quarter of Matt Reeves’ The Batman film is shot. Reeves plans on returning to London to complete the film once it is safe to resume production. Flashpoint is the only move to move up by a month.
