During the Warner Bros. presentation at CinemaCon 2016 in Las Vegas, NV, Ben Affleck, who was just announced as having a Batman solo movie in the works, took the stage with Amy Adams, Lois Lane in their current films, to introduce a new sizzle reel. The reel featured footage from Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, and sample shots of even more.

Comicbook.com's Brandon Davis was on the scene and wrote a description of the sizzle reel up. Studios don't typically release these things officially to the general public, but this is the next best thing, and helps show you where Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment's minds are at when it comes to their growing film universe.

Henry Cavill narrates a sizzle reel which starts with Man of Steel footage. Leto compliments the imagination which is sparked by these movies. Affleck claims the themes are resonant to people. Animated Justice League characters take the screen before Superman flies by. Each cast member and directors and producers compliment the films. A shot of Wonder Woman from her film is shown before clips from Batman v. Superman and Suicide Squad. They promise bigger and better films as everything goes on. Wonder Woman wears a hood in the forest and turns around - it's a new shot. Suicide Squad and BvS footage dominate the screen before turning to the movie's premiere. Titles cite the biggest worldwide opening for the movie and its $750 million box office and counting. Suicide Squad's title takes over and Will Smith says it isn't a movie about good vs. evil. Robbie says it's bad people doing a good thing. Footage from trailers is shown. Ayer says, "Who better to fight a super villain than a group of super villains?" Wonder Woman's logo and theme dominate the screen. She rides a horse with others through the forest. Steve Trevor flies a plane. Wonder Woman dodges bullets and deflects them back at shooters with her gauntlets. She attends a party in a beautiful blue dress. In a much more vibrant costume, she attacks enemies on a horse. A Justice League logo takes the screen and producers narrate how we'll learn about the characters. Momoa says "Aquaman is the only one who is a human and a God." Miller and Fisher describe their characters, too. Comic panels take the screen as the reel climaxes, mixed with clips from already released movies, as well as Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman. Diana looks awesome using her shield to block bullets. The Justice League cast and Zack Snyder greets the audience from the set of Justice League in London. Everyone but Affleck is in the video. Snyder thanks the fans and the theater owners. Momoa has tattoos on his forearms.

It's interesting to note that WB is publicly happy with the box office draw for BvS, and showing new footage of Wonder Woman, a film that doesn't hit theaters for over a year, is a big vote of confidence.

Batman v Superman is in theaters now, and next up is Suicide Squad in August. See when all the currently announced DC Movies (and others) are due out on our franchise movie list.
