While San Diego Comic-Conis going virtualfor the first time ever this summer, Warner Bros. will be seizing the moment to launch what is essentially its own Comic-Con this August. The studio announced today that DC FanDome will take place entirely online on August 22nd at 10am PDT and will be accessible around the world for 24 hours. DC FanDome will consist of six different, fully programmed areas including “Hall of Heroes” (Main Hall), DC WatchVerse, DC YouVerse, DC KidsVerse, DC InsiderVerse, and DC FunVerse. And the best part? It’s entirely free!
The event will immerse fans into the DC Multiverse, with new content reveals and announcements from WB Games, Film, TV and comics, as well as an unprecedented opportunity to hear from the cast and creators behind your favorite films and TV series. Below are a list of confirmed films and TV shows that will be participating:
The Batman
Black Adam
the SnyderCut
The Suicide Squad
WonderWoman 1984
Black Lightning
DC Super Hero Girls
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow
DC’s Stargirl
Doom Patrol
Harley Quinn
Pennyworth
Superman & Lois
Teen Titans GO!
Young Justice: Outsiders
The press release does not specify what, exactly, we can expect from the above, but it very much sounds like these will be SDCC-esque panels in which the writers, directors, and/or stars of the aforementioned films and shows will offer teases and possibly sneak peeks. Indeed, this could be where we see our first footage fromMatt Reeves’ highly anticipatedThe Batmanor whereZack Snydershares new details about his cut ofJustice Leaguepremiering on HBO Max in 2021.
As for the areas, here’s what they entail:
It’s unclear if all the content will be pre-recorded or if any of these will be happening live. We can also reasonably assume Warner Bros. will make some announcements about upcoming projects, just like they normally do at San Diego Comic-Con. Indeed, with Disney now having shifted almost all of its convention content over to its own convention D23 and even holding back Marvel Studios reveals for D23, it feels like this could be a new normal in which the major studios set up their own conventions apart from SDCC.
The content will be availablein 10 languages including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish Brazil Portuguese, Korean, Japanese and Chinese. Additionally, content will be programmed from specific countries will be in their native language.
