In a new, “DC – The World Needs Heroes” teaser TV spot that will surely air at the Superbowl, Warner Bros. has dropped a taste of all the four movies coming out this year.

The biggest taste of all the films is Dwayne Johnson’s “Black Adam.” Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and arriving in theaters July 29, 2022, this is about as close as you’re going to get to a proper “Black Adam” teaser as the entire cast is finally revealed in their superhero costumes. That means the Justice Society Of America: Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, and Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate.

After that, we get good looks at “The Flash” directed by Andy Muschietti, scheduled for theaters November 4, 2022, and starring Ezra Miller, Ron Livingston, Michael Keaton as Batman, Kiersey Clemons, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Sasha Calle as Supergirl, and Ben Affleck in what is likely his final appearance as his version of Batman. The Flash footage doesn’t show off a lot, but it does reveal the new costume revealed in previous teasers.

Honestly, it was unclear if James Wan’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” the sequel to the original “Aquaman” was going to be ready in time for 2022, but as featured in this trailer, that’s basically you’re confirmation. Due in theaters December 16, 2002, ‘Lost Kingdom’ stars Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Temuera Morrison, and Nicole Kidman. But don’t look for much footage of this cast, all you get is Momoa in two versions of the Aquaman suit including the new stealth dark mode.

Lastly, footage from Matt Reeves’The Batman” starring Robert Pattinson which is only slightly less exciting to fans because they’ve already seen all the trailers, teasers, and footage, but it looks like an exciting movie outside the proper DCEU nonetheless. That one arrives March 4th, features a terrific cast (Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell), and promises to be a bold new telling of the Batman story.

But get to it. The DC feature and all the footage, are below.
