Disney has been shuffling around its release calendar, and there’s good and bad news for fans of its collaborations with Pixar. On the bright side, Cars 3 and The Incredibles 2 each got a release date, but those eagerly awaiting Toy Story 4 will be sad to know that its will now hit theaters later than expected. Woody, Buzz, and the gang had to give up their June 16, 2017 release date for Lightning McQueen and crew.

Each of the three computer-animated films will get a June release, which is perfect for all of the kids who will be kicking off their summer vacations. Cars 3 leads the pack with its 2017 date, and then Toy Story 4 will hit theaters almost exactly a year later, on June 15, 2018. Incredibles 2 will follow on June 21, 2019.

The official Disney-Pixar Twitter account shared release dates for their films through 2019, letting fans know exactly when to expect what.

Squeezed in between familiar franchises is another Disney and Pixar movie, Coco, set for Nov. 22, 2017. However, Disney also scheduled release dates for numerous non-Pixar films, including Marvel projectsAnt-Man and the Wasp, the sequel to this year’s Ant-Man, is now scheduled for July 6, 2018. The date was previously occupied by Black Panther, which has been moved forward to Feb. 16, 2018. Meanwhile, Captain Marvel was delayed from Nov. 2, 2018 to March 8, 2019, and three other still untitled Marvel flicks were slated for 2020.

Mixed in with its superhero movies and animated films, Disney also has multiple untitled films on the calendar. As we can see, they may still get shuffled around, but the current calendar gives us an idea of at what the studio has planned for the foreseeable future. Clearly, there’s a lot for fans to look forward to.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
