Warner Bros. did its big shareholder talk this morning, and took the opportunity to drop some big release date info. The biggest is the studio's upcoming plans for superhero films, and massive DC movie plans were revealed.

Suicide Squad will be the first DC film to follow Batman v Superman, with a plan for release in 2016. Then things get really big. In 2017 we'll see Wonder Woman and Justice League, with 2018 bringing The Flash (with Ezra Miller starring) and Aquaman. In 2019 WB plans Shazam and Justice League 2.

Finally, studio head Kevin Tsujihara says there are plans coming together for Cyborg (played by Ray Fisher in Batman v Superman), a Green Lantern reboot, and additional standalone Batman and Superman films.

Ben Fritz originally reported details of the shareholder's call. Here's info from the official press release:
