I believe one of the reasons for Comic-Con @ Home’s failure is the lack of huge announcements and previews. Without the presence of Marvel Studios or Warner Bros. in any significant way, that turned off a large chunk of the event’s typical audience. Well, Warner Bros. is doing things differently with their upcoming event, DC FanDome, with a new trailer that promises there will be reveals of some of their most anticipated superhero projects.
The DC FanDome virtual convention will offer looks at Wonder Woman 1984, The Batman, The Suicide Squad, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and more. The DC Universe is crossing over in unprecedented ways, so expect to see stuff from the Arrowverse, DC Animation, and of course DC Comics.
Don’t be surprised if we see some announcements of projects we’ve never heard of. The DCEU could be about to expand right before our eyes.
DC FanDome takes place on August 22nd. Check out a rundown of the panel events that viewers can take part in.
