DCEU Blog: SDCC Edition Of Sorts, Batfleck Returns, Trailers And Test Screenings Galore

Well, this has been a busy month with two animated movies currently released (DC's League Of Super Pets and Green Lantern: Beware My Power), the return of San Diego Comic Con and a lot of other stuff to power through, so let's go ....


Possibly the biggest new item was Jason Momoa revealing that Ben Affleck will be appearing in Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom instead of Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman. 

Michael Keaton however will be Batman in both The Flash and Batgirl.

Speaking of The Flash, test screening have revealed that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will appear in the movie as well as archived footage of Adam West, Lynda Carter, Christopher Reeve and Helen Slater. Expect to see another version of Superman in the movie as well.

Brendan Fraser revealed that his version of Firefly in Batgirl will be called Ted Carson and he wants to see Gotham burn as he's a veteran who has lost his benefits. 


Shazam! Fury Of The Gods unveiled their first trailer at Comic Con and revealed that Rachel Zegler's character is called Anthea. 

Rizwan Manji also appears in the movie, possibly playing a different character from the role of Jamal from Peacemaker.

Blue Beetle has finished filming. It'll be released on August 18th 2023 in theatres.

Dwayne Johnson took to the stage of SDCC dressed as Black Adam, unveiling a second trailer for the movie.

Although she didn't appear in the trailer, Viola Davis has officially been confirmed to return in the upcoming movie as Amanda Waller. A version of Superman has also been rumoured for the movie.

There are rumblings for potential castings for both the Black Canary and Zatanna movies but I want to hold off talking on it until confirmation comes for them.

Matt Ryan will reprise his role as John Constantine in animated form again as he will be appearing in the third season of Harley Quinn.

Teen Titans Go will feature Zack Snyder in an upcoming episode.

The upcoming third season of Stargirl will air on the CW from August 31st. It'll have thirteen episodes and go under the subtitle of Frenemies.

Colin Farrell has confirmed that filming for The Penguin HBO Max series will start early next year while also talking about Matt Reeves working on the script for The Batman sequel.

And that's it for this month. Be sure to check out The Sandman on Netflix from August 5th.
