I'll leave the Vertigo stuff out of it and won't assume sequels for second tier characters:

2012 Batman
2013 Superman
2013-14 Flash, WW, (GL sequel)
2015 WF
2016 Superman 2
2016-18 Green Arrow, Aquaman, Manhunter, (Flash, WW, GL sequels)
2019 Superman 3
2020 JLA

Here's my super-duper "dream come true" version of an ideal timeline for the DCU superheroes (one which requires some of the actors to commit to playing their roles with some frequency; some characters would get sequels while others would appear in standalone solo films and then appear in JLA or other team-up films thereafter; I've kept it to three films a year, with no more than one in each season - that pushes some films way down the line, but more than three films a year and multiple films in any given season seemed like it'd be pushing it, even for a dream timeline):

2011

June - Green Lantern

2012

February/March - Green Arrow

July - Batman III

November - The Flash

2013

February/March - Aquaman

July - The Man of Steel

November/December - Wonder Woman

2014

March - Shazam!

June/July - Green Lantern II

November/December - The Flash II

2015

March - Plastic Man

July - Justice League of America (directed by Chris Nolan)

November/December - Wonder Woman II (shooting schedules would have to be carefully coordinated between this sequel and the first JLA film)

2016

February/March - Zatanna

July - The Man of Steel II

November/December - Green Lantern III

2017

February/March - The Doom Patrol

July - Batman IV (with a new director since I doubt Nolan will want to continue directing Batman films after his third one; probably a new lead actor, too, since the same may go for Bale; the new Batman actor could be introduced here or in the first JLA film)

November/December - The Flash III

2018

February/March - Catwoman

July - Justice League of America II (possibly a new director if Nolan has had his fill of superheroes entirely by this point; while the first JLA film would feature the big gun heroes, subsequent films would focus on a mixture of big guns and second-tier characters; you could have alternates for some of the big guns to alleviate actor fatigue or actors moving on from their roles, like John Stewart or Guy Gardner stepping in for Hal Jordan)

November/December - Wonder Woman III

2019

February/March - Hawkman

July - The Man of Steel III

November/December - Birds of Prey

2020

February/March - Suicide Squad

July - Batman V

November/December - Teen Titans

nice list guys i would love to see stuff go like that. As for mine here i go:
2010
The losers
Jonah Hex
2011
Green lantern
2012
Batman 3
Superman Reboot
2013
The Flash
2014
Wonder woman

Justice league of America

I will just stop at 2015. Cause I think this is what will be the time frame for next few things. Plus i left off other lower class guys like deadman, sucide squad cause they could more then likely pop up in between the bigger tentpole guys.

Ugh, these long-term prognostications are always bitter sweet.

Yeah, it's cool to think that there could be a Justice League movie by 2015. But I don't like to think about how I'll be pushing thirty by that point...

 

[FaT_tONle]

Let the next generation enjoy it... let the old generation die out...

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i know it sucks even if their are plans in place now, its still going to take a few yrs to actually get going. More so if they want to do at least one solo film for most jl guys.
