This weekend will be full of news for upcoming DC movies thanks to the DC FanDome virtual event. Movies like The Batman, Suicide Squad, Shazam, and more will be marked with panels throughout the day on August 22nd.
On August 19, just days before the launch of DC FanDome, DC announced that it split the event between two days: one on August 22 and the other on September 12. That this weekend’s lineup for the show has changed a lot. All movie panels, along with a few high-profile TV panels will take place on August 22, while everything else has been moved to September. The updated schedule can be found below.
What is DC FanDome? Start dates, times, and what to expect
Warner Bros. – and more specifically DC – is taking a different approach to the summer treaty. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic – and because physical convention is by no means a good idea – a virtual event called DC FanDome will be coming to fans on August 22nd. This 24-hour event will primarily feature films. The panel scheme has been released, and the performance looks very promising.
The big standout when comparing DC FanDome is the panels. While Comic-Con @ Home gave us info on a few highly anticipated movies and shows, such as Bill and Ted Face the Music and The Boys Season 2, DC FanDome provides panels on several 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.
In addition, there are two DC game panels, including the recently released Suicide Squad game from Rocksteady, the developer behind the Batman: Arkham trilogy. There’s also an announcement from WB Games Montreal, where the debut will make a new game that is believed to be tied to Batman.
In addition to the Hall of Heroes, there is the WatchVerse, which focuses on TV shows such as Pennyworth, Black Lightning, Doom Patrol. These panels will all appear in the second half of DC FanDome on September 12th. This section will also have screens of DC animated movements. You can also view a composite selection of the must-watch panels there. We recommend the Young Justice panel moderated by GameSpot’s Chris E. Hayner. In addition, the KidsVerse, YouVerse, FunVerse and InsiderVerse sections will each offer something different for fans.
This virtual event will run 24 hours a day, with encore presentations of panels playing in the early hours, and like Comic-Con @ Home, DC Fandome is free to attend. As far as where to look, all FanDome content will be hosted on DCFanDome.com and DCKidsFanDome.com, where you can now head to create an account and save your personal schedule for later.
Below you will find a curated list of the most notable panels coming to DC FanDome along with their official descriptions. Most panels run about 30 minutes, except for The Flash and Shazam, which will both be 10 minutes long.
