THE JUSTICE LEAGUE UNIVERSE (JLU)

The Justice League Universe
The Justice League Universe (JLU) is an American media franchise and shared universe that is centered on a series of superhero films, distributed by DC Films and based on characters that appear in American comic books by DC Comics. The shared universe, much like the original DC Universe in comic books and the television programs, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. The films have been in production since 2011 and in that time Warner Bros. has distributed five films. The series, has grossed over $4 billion at the global box office.

The films are written and directed by a variety of individuals and feature large, often ensemble, casts. Several actors, including Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, and Ray Fisher, have appeared in numerous films of the franchise, with continued appearances in sequels planned. In May 2016, DC's chief creative officer Geoff Johns and Warner Bros. executive vice president Jon Berg were appointed to co-run the DC Films division and oversee creative decisions, production and story-arcs in order to create a cohesive overarching plot within the films. In January 2018, Walter Hamada was appointed the president of DC Films, replacing Berg.

The first film in the DCEU was Man of Steel (July 14, 2013), which was followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 25, 2016), Suicide Squad (2016), Wonder Woman (2017), Justice League (November 17, 2017), and The Flash (March 17, 2018). Future films with scheduled release dates include: Aquaman and the Others (December 21, 2018), Shazam! (April 5, 2019), Wonder Woman II (November 1, 2019), Green Lantern Corps (April 3, 2020), and the Untitled Justice League Sequel (June 5, 2020). Other projects with confirmed titles that are also in various stages of development: Justice League Dark, The New Gods, and Nightwing. In addition, films focusing on the Birds of Prey, Booster Gold, and Lobo, as well as a sequel to Man of Steel are also in active development.
