10 Niggling Worries Over DC's Next 10 Movies

7. Is It In The Wrong Slot? - Justice League Part One

It seems a little odd that The Flash, Aquaman and Shazam movies are scheduled for release after the first Justice League movie, when really it seems like it should be the other way around. That's to say, wouldn't it have been more ideal to have released the solo movies before the film that brings all the characters together? Is this just a case of Warner Bros. trying to get their Avengers-like property into cinemas as soon as possible? From a marketing perspective, it obviously makes sense to get Justice League out there quickly. As a construct, it will provide audiences with a further dose of Batman/Superman action, after all (this time they're friends!) - essentially it's like printing your own money. But you have to consider that Justice League Part Two is - rather bizarrely - scheduled for release a whopping two years after Part One. Warner Bros. presumably have good reason for this, but it seems odd to jam The Flash, Aquaman and Shazam between both films.
