Warner Bros. had another successful presentation in Hall H at San Diego Comic Con this year.

It has proven to be close to impossible to predict Warner Bros’ future moves when it comes to their growing DC Extended Universe.

Warner Bros has a huge task at hand following the polarizing release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
