DC FanDome Becomes Two-Day Event, The Biggest Panels Set For This Saturday

Warner Bros. has just revealed a full trailer for their upcoming DC FanDome event on August 22nd. Basically, it’s Comic-Con if the only studio that showed up was WB’s DC Universe wing. Along with the new look comes a pretty big change for the weekend’s festivities. What was going to be a 24-hour event has now been split over two days.

So how is this going to work out? For practical purposes, the big stuff has been separated from the smaller stuff. Panels and events for the DCEU movies Wonder Woman 1984, Aquaman, The Batman, and more will remain on Saturday, August 22nd. If you’re looking for discussions, trailers, and possibly some exclusive news, this is the place to go.

Smaller panels will get their time to shine on September 12th. A “create your own timeline” feature allows for you to curate the panels you want to see whenever you want, since all of the day’s events are On Demand. The Hall of Heroes stuff on day one is still set for specific times.

This is a good idea because I had been wondering how in the world they were going to fit so much content in a single day. Splitting the difference allows for those of us who want to focus on movies to do that easily, while giving the other stuff a better chance of getting noticed.

The full schedule can be found here.  Check the split breakdown below.

DC FanDome: Hall of Heroes: On Saturday, August 22, at 10:00 am PDT, fans will be transported into the DC FanDome: Hall of Heroes, an epic world designed personally by Jim Lee featuring special programming, panels and exclusive reveals from a wide variety of films, TV series, games, comics and more.

The superpowered eight-hour show will be available for fans around the world to watch exclusively 3x in the 24-hour period.

DC FanDome: Explore the Multiverse: On Saturday, September 12, at 10:00am PDT, fans will be able to create their own timeline! The great thing about this event is that it will be on demand, giving you the ability to curate your own unique experience via our Official DC FanDome Online Scheduler Tool.

  • A lot of the content you were super excited to see from our multiple islands will now be housed here, and will be available for you to watch throughout the 24-hour period.
  • Fans can now choose their own adventure and will have more time to immerse themselves in all the hours of curated programming — at their own pace and on their own schedule.
  • This also allows us to provide the best user experience, and will now not only be available on your desktop computer but across all mobile devices.
  • DC Kids FanDome will also launch on Saturday, September 12, at its own kid-friendly companion site at DCKidsFanDome.com.
