Wonder Woman will be the first of 2017's DC movies, and all the films to date will be tied up by Zack Snyder's Justice League Part One.

Snyder has spoken to USA Today about introducing the Justice League characters in Dawn of Justice, and how important the wider canvass of these movies will be. "I love Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman, but having Flash and Aquaman and Cyborg and to see them all standing together, it's a pretty dorky and cool experience for me," he said.

"Basically every one of those characters has a logo that you would recognize without them standing there, and that's a hard thing to achieve in this pop-culture world. We have history to draw on, but we also have these new frontiers to forge."

It has also been revealed that Ben Affleck's Batman will have a cameo in Suicide Squad. Snyder gave a hint as to what fans could expect from the Caped Crusader's guest appearance: "We made him fight. He's awesome [as Batman]. You really sense that but for the grace of God he himself would be doing some really foul stuff out in the world."

Affleck also commented on his cameo, and how it felt to play a part in the wider DC Universe. "It felt like I have such a cool cousin," he explained. "This thing that is so awesome is somehow related to me, and that was really exciting because it started to feel like a constellation of things, and I've never had that feeling."

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens on March 24, 2016, while Suicide Squad follows on August 5. Wonder Woman arrives on June 23, 2017, with Justice League Part One hitting cinemas on November 16, 2017.
