The usually reliable Latino Review is reporting on some interesting new rumors surrounding Warner Brothers’ long-term plans for the expanded cinematic universe it is creating based on DC Comics’ stable of iconic superheroes.

The first is that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star Ben Affleck will possibly both direct and star in The Batman, a reboot of the Dark Knight franchise. His Oscar-winning Argo scribe Chris Terrio (who also worked on the scripts for Dawn of Justice and the studio’s Justice League feature — the latter of which will be released in two parts with the first tentatively scheduled for a late 2017 release and the second for the summer of 2019) will write the script for a possible November 2018 theatrical release. This would put the most popular DC character in direct conflict with Marvel Studios’ eagerly awaited Captain Marvel, which will be their first female-headed blockbuster event.

I don’t know why I never thought of a Star Trek and Green Lantern crossover before, but it makes a lot of sense when you think about it. IDW Publishing, DC Comics, and CBS Consumer Products made the announcement this weekend at WonderCon 2015 that they are teaming up to release Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum War this July. The six-issue mini-series will be written by Mike Johnson with art by Angel Hernandez.

The Spectrum War will feature Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps going into the world of Star Trek‘s 23rd Century, joining forces with the Federation after some of the Federation’s greatest enemies find themselves in possession of some Power Rings.

Warner Bros. is making some really huge announcements regarding their DC Comics film release dates. We are now learning that the Suicide Squad will be the first film post Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice coming in 2016. In 2017, we will see a solo Wonder Woman film and Justice League. Ezra Miller has been cast as The Flash, which hits theaters in 2018. Aquaman starring Jason Momoa also hits theaters in 2018. Finally, Shazam starring Dwayne Johnson as well as Justice League 2 will be released in 2019.

Titles without release dates include Cyborg, starring Ray Fisher, and a new Green Lantern movie, plus solo Superman and Batman films. (Updated below with dates.) Hit the jump to learn more.
