DC FanDome: The biggest and best announcements and revelations

The first day of DC FanDome was jam-packed with announcements for each of the expanded comic universe. Check out all the big announcements of the big event in our recipe below and check out the full DC FanDome schedule to stay up to date on the latest revelations.

Cheetah’s Full Reveal in Wonder Woman 1984

The second trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 had enough for fans to love, and it gave us our first look at Kristen Wiig’s Cheetah in its completely transformed state allowing her to travel at unusual speeds and scale walls.

While most of the trailer focuses on Barbara Ann Minerva and her journey to transformation, we see a fully realized Cheetah near the end of the trailer, facing off against Wonder Woman grabbing her golden eagle weapon. In the clip, we see her fighting Diana to a standstill.

Wonder Woman 1984 is currently slated for a October 2, 2020 release.

Gotham Knights announced

The Batman game Gotham Knights of WB Montreal has finally been revealed after literal years of teasers. Instead of playing as Batman – who is presumably dead – you will take control of Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing and Red Hood. It will be fully playable solo as with two-player online co-op. A 7-minute gameplay trailer shows the kind of gameplay we can expect, and it looks similar to previous Batman Arkham games, although WB Montreal has confirmed that it will take place in a separate timeline.

Each character will have their own set of abilities, such as Robin’s ability to teleport short distances in combat with the Justice League satellite, as well as Batgirl’s many martial arts styles. In addition to an abundance of Gotham goons, we got a look at Mr. Freeze that attempted to contain Gotham City in ice, as well as a brief battle in which Batgirl and Robin were involved.

The end of the official trailer plagues the involvement of the Owls Court at a large round room lined with coffin-like enclosures that are likely the Talons – child murders abducted by the Owls Court.

Gotham Knights is set to release in 2021 for PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The Batman First Trailer Released

Round Fan out DC FanDome was the long awaited first trailer of Matt Reeves’ The Batman.
