11. 2019: GOTHAM SEASON 5



The wild, boldly unpredictable series set in pre-Batman Gotham city is drawing to a close with its fifth season in 2019. Even after less-than-stellar ratings, Fox gave the show an opportunity to finish off its long-developing origin story. Expect proceedings to be chaotic, villain-filled, and uncompromisingly-odd.

Villains like Bane, Harley Quinn (at least a version of her), and more are expected to enter the chaos too, adding their own craziness to the show. A grand finale is surely on the table for this series when Gotham's fifth season debuts January 3rd on Fox.

10. WAIT: BLACK ADAM



Considering Dwayne Johnson's ability to be all over Hollywood, it's incredible that he hasn't appeared in a comic book movie. Black Adam is a film that will remedy this fact. Initially slated to star in David F. Sandberg's Shazam!, WB elected to separate the two, allowing for the character to be better developed. This way, the character's downward spiral into villainy could be properly captured.

Plot-wise, Black Adam will see the titular character attempt to fight his way out of slavery in Khandaq. The film's tone is expected to be gritty like the source material and will apparently involve several DC heroes. Black Adam's production is set for late 2019.

9. 2019: KRYPTON SEASON 2



Krypton debuted its first season this year and earned a renewal by Syfy. The show takes place 200 years before the birth of Superman and involves Seg-El, the grandfather of Kal-El, as he attempts to earn redemption for his family name and maintain Krypton's safety so that Superman may one day live.

Much like Gotham, the show deploys recognizable villains like General Zod and Brainiac to keep things interesting, with season 2's inclusion of Lobo only raising the stakes further. Superman fans can easily have a blast with this series. Krypton season 2 will debut some time in 2019 on Syfy.

8. WAIT: BATGIRL



With Batman on the big screen and both Nightwing and Batwoman on TV, the Bat-family has been spreading across the DC brand. Batgirl would only end up increasing that spread, and many fans would be happy to see it.

Regardless of which version of the character is used, Batgirl is a character with rich history across each of its interpretations. Originally set to be directed and written by Joss Whedon, but he departed the project in February 2018. There's no one in the directing chair at the moment, but Christina Hodson (Remember her? She's writing Birds of Prey!) will be the screenwriter. Batgirl's production start is TBA.

7. 2019: WONDER WOMAN: BLOODLINES



DC Animation brings Diana Prince back to the spotlight for the first time since 2009 with Wonder Woman: Bloodlines. Although the long delay between standalone Wonder Woman animated movies was a result of low initial sales, the character's success in live-action has earned her another shot.

Little information is known about Bloodlines, but you can expect DC to unveil more when its animated films begin releasing next year. The film comes at a good time as Wonder Woman fans have to wait until 2020 for Wonder Woman 1984. Bloodlines can help keep the hype train chugging along until then. Wonder Woman: Bloodlines comes out sometime in 2019 to DVD, Blu-ray, and On-Demand.
