Warner Bros.–and more specifically DC–is taking a different approach to the summer convention. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic–and because physical convention are not a good idea by any means–a virtual event called DC FanDome will be coming to fans on August 22. This 24-hour event will cover movies, TV shows, comics, and more. The panel schedule has been released, and the show is looking very promising.
The big standout when comparing DC FanDome is the panels. While [email protected] gave us info on a couple of highly-anticipated movies and shows, like Bill and Ted Face the Music and The Boys Season 2, DC FanDome is delivering panels around numerous DC movies: Wonder Woman 1984, The Flash, The Batman, The Suicide Squad, Shazam 2, Black Adam, and the Snyder Cut of Justice League, all of which will include some massive stars.
Additionally, there are two DC games panels, including the recently teased Suicide Squad game from Rocksteady, the developer behind the Batman: Arkham trilogy. There is also a WB Games Montreal announcement as well, where it will debut a new game believed to be tied to Batman.
In addition to the Hall of Heroes, there is the WatchVerse, which focuses on TV shows like The Flash, Pennyworth, Black Lightning, Doom Patrol. This section will also have screenings of DC animated moves as well. You can check out a curated selection of the must-watch panels from there as well. We recommend the Young Justice panel which will be moderated by GameSpot’s Chris E. Hayner. On top of all that, the KidsVerse, YouVerse, FunVerse, and InsiderVerse sections will each offer up something different for fans.
This virtual event will run for 24-hours straight–with many of the panels having encore presentations in the early hours of the morning–and, like [email protected], DC Fandome is free to attend. As far as where to watch, all Fandome content will be hosted on DCFanDome.com and DCKidsFanDome.com, where you can head now to make an account and save your personal schedule for later.
Below you’ll find a curated list of the most-notable panels coming to DC FanDome along with their official descriptions. This primarily includes both video gaming and movie panels for products DC has planned in the future. Additionally, there are many panels revolving around comic books. Most of the panels run for about 30 minutes, except for The Flash and Shazam, which will both be 10 minutes long.
