From what I am gathering on the internet, sources, articles, YouTube experts, leaks, etc...
Comic Con 2018 will be HUGE for WB/DC.
1. They are going to rebrand their DCEU to DC films. No longer do the films have to be Connected. Joaquin Phoenix just signed on to play a Stand Alone Joker film, but Jared Leto is part of the shared universe films (at the same time).
So you can have stand alone films or trilogies that have NO CONNECTION to the shared universe. Matt Reeves Batman trilogy will be a stand alone trilogy with NO CONNECTION to the current DC shared universe films, and it's rumored that Joaquin Phoenix's Joker will be a part of Matt Reeve's trilogy. That's why he gets an origin 'stand alone' film and then he will be an older Joker in Matt Reeve's trilogy.
2. The Rock said in a recent statement that DC films (new name) will begin the process of his 'Black Adam' film. It is rumored that he will have a stand alone origin film (the first protector of Earth created by Shazam! the Wizard before he turns dark and goes rogue). Then he will be in a Shazam! sequel where he fights Captain Marvel and Superman. Based on the Superman/Shazam! comic.
3. Man of Steel direct sequel. Technically "Batman v Superman" is supposed to be the sequel to Man of Steel. However, it looks like we are getting a Man of Steel stand alone movie. It isn't confirmed yet whether it's going to be 'Man of Steel 2" or if it's going to be the team up with Shazam!/Captain Marvel to fight Black Adam. Or, if it's going to be a soft reboot with Cavill as the lead, but not have all of the cast from MoS (e.g. Laurence Fishburne has stated he isn't coming back to play Perry White and he's happy in the Ant-Man/Marvel movie franchise).
4. The biggest rumor going around is Zack Snyder has made a trailer with tons of footage not in "Justice League" and that WB will allow him to edit, take his time, finish the special effects, and release a complete Zack Snyder cut of Justice League. The MAJOR TRAILER reveal is that in Hall H.
The first 3 rumors are almost 95% confirmed, just waiting for the info to drop. (e.g. it leaked early Joaquin Phoenix is Joker, and Cavill is working out to get back in Superman Shape on his social media. And the Rock has just met with DC/WB and addressed that a big announcement is coming soon).
