Lofty Lineup of DC Films

News came yesterday via THR that DC has quite a few comic book properties that are in some stage of development, 12 to be exact, and below I have complied that info into a nice list of what we can expect next from DC. Almost all of the films are being developed at Warner Brothers to some degree with the exception of one film over at Summit Entertainment. My intial thought when looking at this list of superheroes is, where the hell is Superman? What's more confusing is that most of these titles aren't all that exciting and make me wonder just how much anticipation will these properties create. Only a handful of the films even have a working script, director or any actors attached but, they still are in some form of development at Warner Brothers. Regardless of my reservations towards some of these projects, checkout the DC comic-to-film lineup below...
