In honor of Lunar New Year 2022, which took place on Feb. 1, DC has shared a collection of illustrated posters for its upcoming feature films The Batman, DC League of Super-Pets, Black Adam and The Flash.
DC shared the posters in question to its official Weibo account. The poster for The Batman sees Robert Pattinson's version of the Dark Knight throwing coins like batarangs with one hand while holding some fortune cards in the other. The League of Super-Pets poster sees Krypto the Superdog holding an oversized brush pen in his mouth. Meanwhile, the Black Adam poster shows the titular antihero having fun with firecrackers, while the Flash poster finds the Fastest Man Alive making sure the festivities have food.
First up on DC's slate of 2022 films is The Batman, which is due to hit theaters on March 4. The film stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, as well as Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone and Paul Dano as the Riddler, among others. Set during the Dark Knight's second year of crimefighting, the film follows Batman as he attempts to hunt down serial killer known as the Riddler, but gets more than he bargained for when he learns of his own family's ties to the corruption in Gotham City.
DC League of Super-Pets follows suit on May 20. The animated feature stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart as the voices of Krypto the Superdog and Ace the Bat-Hound, respectively. The film's voice cast also includes Vanessa Bayer as PB, Natasha Lyonne as Merton and Diego Luna as Chip, not to mention John Krasinski as Superman and Marc Maron as Lex Luthor.
Of course, League of Super-Pets isn't the only 2022 DC film the aforementioned Dwayne Johnson is involved in. The former WWE Champion is also slated to star in the live-action movie Black Adam, which debuts on July 29 and is set within the DC Extended Universe, serving as a spinoff of 2019's Shazam!. In Black Adam, Johnson portrays Teth-Adam/Black Adam, the errant champion of the wizard Shazam. Johnson is joined in the film by Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Sarah Shahi as Adrianna Tomaz, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate.
Speaking of the DCEU, The Flash is then slated for release on Nov. 4. The film stars Ezra Miller, who reprises their role as Barry Allen/the Flash from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" and Zack Snyder's Justice League. The film also stars Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, Ron Livingston as Henry Allen and Sasha Calle as Supergirl. Moreover, Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton reprise their respective versions of Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Two more DCEU films are scheduled for release in 2022. The first is Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the sequel to 2018's Aquaman, which hits theaters on Dec. 16. The second is the HBO Max-exclusive film Batgirl, which currently lacks a specific release date.
