DC Fandome Returning In October With New Looks At The Batman, The Flash, Peacemaker And More
Who needs Comic-Con anymore? Last year, the pandemic forced studios to get creative in figuring out how to deliver information about their upcoming projects to the masses. Going fully digital was apparently the answer. For Warner Bros., the DC FanDome online convention had its share of hiccups and technical snafus, but for the most part it performed as well as could be hoped for. 2021 will bring us the second annual installment of the streaming event, allowing fans to get exclusive first looks and immersive insights on all things DC: from the ongoing cinematic universe, to the various animated projects, to the CW shows, to the video game side of the franchise as well.
Check out the trailer for the event below.
