This Saturday, what is left of DC Comics will keep her great DC FanDome event, which is essentially a virtual replacement for their usual San Diego Comic-Con panels (but aimed at the general public instead of just at the people who can spend money on SDCC cards and get excited all day long) waiting in lines). The initial idea was game Saturday with DC stuff, including panels and announcements and hopefully trailers, condensing the entire Con experience into 24 hours of sitting at your computer and watching Zack Snyder try to convince everyone that his Justice League film was silenced by a secret cabal of world leaders who refused to show DC fans Superman in a black suit.

Apparently, however, DC FanDome was actually te full of Con-like content, so Warner Bros. has. decided to expand the event into two days instead of packing everything in one. Do not worry, all the most exciting stuff happens on the first day, but now you do not have to worry about making time for everything. The catch is that now the second day is full of stuff that … is less exciting (save for one very notable exception), which means that DC FanDome is really one day of big announcements and then a second day of retrospectives and insight into the creative process for goods that has already come out. That game is not bad or not interesting, but it will not have the tension The Batman of Justice Leaguehis upcoming “Snyder Cut.” There’s also a second catch: Day two of the FanDome doesn’t happen until September 12, which is three weeks after all.

DC has wonderfully hesitated to share schedule specifications since splitting the event into two days, but you can see it all at the DC FanDome website and plan your own calendar of events. As for the highlights: Saturday’s panels will pick up Wonder Woman 1984, which made WB Games Montreal (smart money is on a Batman game about The Court Of Owls), James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, the Snyder Cut, the Flash TV show, Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, de Titans show, things about Aquaman en Shazam!, the new Suicide Squad game from the Arkham Asylum folk, The Batman, and then repeats of all the great things that go into the night.

If you are looking DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow, the nicest thing that Warner Bros. has to offer. does and perhaps never has done, it is the great notable exception to the otherwise assumed programming of the September date. It will be connected by panels from some other DC shows, including Stargirl, Batwoman, Doompatrol, en Black lightning.
