With COVID basically eliminating most comic book conventions over the past two years, DC Comics and WarnerMedia had to improvise and launch DC FanDome last year. Designed as a virtual convention, the event allows for the studio to unveil first looks and teasers for its slate of upcoming content. And 2021’s FanDome doesn’t appear like it will disappoint at all.
Today, DC and WarnerMedia announced the slate of projects that will be featured at this year’s FanDome. As you might expect, the headline-making announcements seem to revolve around the new feature films, as Warner Bros. is expected to launch a new trailer for “The Batman,” as well as sneak peeks at “The Flash,” “Black Adam,” “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” “Shazam: Fury of the Gods,” and “DC League of Super-Pets.”
“DC FanDome 2020 was a first-of-its kind global virtual fan experience and showcased every aspect of the DC Universe with unprecedented scale and access,” Ann Sarnoff, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Group, said. “This year, we’re taking everything that people loved about DC FanDome and supercharging it to super-serve fans with even more exclusive first-looks, breaking news, in-depth interviews and insight from the stars and creative teams of their favorite DC content.”
Over on the TV side of things, HBO Max will be at FanDome with new looks at the highly-anticipated “Peacemaker” series, which is a spinoff of James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad,” and “DMZ,” which is a limited series produced and directed by Ava DuVernay.
DC FanDome is launching on October 16. You can watch the new trailer for the event, as well as the full list of projects below:
