Even though the Flash and Arrow universes have nothing to do with the upcoming DC Comics movies, Warner Bros. knows that their target audience is watching. So, the studio will air previews of Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman during specials on The CW this month.
The two half-hour long specials will air on Tuesday, Jan. 19, beginning at 9 p.m.
The first one is DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: Their Time Is Now, which will act as an introduction to the Flash/Arrow characters who will appear in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. As The CW previously announced, Legends of Tomorrow will debut on Thursday, Jan. 21 at 8 p.m.
After the Legends special, DC Films Presents: Dawn of The Justice League will introduce audiences to the DC Cinematic Universe. At the end, there will be a new trailer for David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. But before that, Kevin Smith will take a look at Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice with DC Entertainment’s Geoff Johns.
Dawn of the Justice League will also include the first look at Wonder Woman, which doesn’t hit theaters until June 2017. Obviously, it’s never too early to start marketing a film.
Directors Zack Snyder (Batman v Superman) and Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), along with stars Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill, also sat down for interviews.
