"The Batman v Superman move by Warners obviously avoids a face-off with Marvel’s increasingly seemingly unbeatable properties. It had long been assumed that either BvS or Cap 3 would move, and now we have our answer as to who blinked first. According to The Wrap, a Warner Bros. insider explained the decision as such: “Not flinching — it’s a fantastic corridor for us.” And no doubt, that is true."

Honestly I’m not surprised to hear that Warner Bros changed the date for Batman v Superman, I thought it was a terrible idea to try and open it the same day as Captain America 3 in the first place. Captain America 3 was already set to open on May 6th 2016 and it never made sense for Warner Bros to try and open Batman v Superman on the same date. Now both movies will have equal opportunity to shine and perform well at the box offices. On another note. DC has also announced several as yet untitled films in the coming years, check out the full list in the IGN article.
