Batman and The Joker "“ the ever-so-popular superhero and supervillain duo made their live-action cinematic debut back in 1966 with the July 30 release named Batman: The Movie. While Adam West was the first actor to play the DC superhero on the big screen, Cesar Romero was the first one to play his arch nemesis in a full length feature film. 2016 will mark the 50th anniversary of the event.
And in this year, Ben Affleck will make his debut as the sixth live-action theatrical version of the Caped Crusader and Jared Leto will make his debut as the fourth live-action big screen version of Clown Prince of Crime. There's another way 2016 is going to be special "“ it's introducing a huge bunch of superheroes and supervillains from the comic books (perhaps the most in any year) to the live-action big screen! What does that HUGE BUNCH stand as when converted in numbers?
Well, here I have listed in total nineteen superheroes and supervillains who will make their live-action cinematic debut through the six live-action superhero movies of 2016 (Gambit has been excluded since it is likely to shift its release to 2017)! What's more exciting is that each of these characters comes from either Marvel Comics or DC Comics since all the 2016 superhero movies are based on the works of either of the two giant comic book publishers!
So, let's get started then! The list kicks off on the next page!
