We are gearing up for the second installment of the DC FanDome event! Here’s what to know:
When the situations worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we all saw the San Diego Comic-Con getting canceled as it could’ve been a potential risk to many lives. Warner Bros. had the option of following the same steps of their rival studios and could have settled for the loss. However, they bounced back with an online virtual convention and called it the DC FanDome Event.
Before the launch, the idea of the convention appeared to be of a chaotic zoom call to us. While we had our hopes set low, DC’s executed performance set the bar up too high. The event turned out to be a massive success and got a whopping 22 Million+ views.
The 8-hour-long virtual convention which premiered on August 22 featured some of the biggest news by DC for the year 2020 & 2021. The online convention witnessed astounding unveils and unpacking of some most awaited projects such as Wonder Woman 1984, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, Black Adam, and The Batman.
Lock-on your seatbelts because the ride is about to continue. The virtual convention is back for a reboot in just a week from now and you’d be equally excited as us when you would know what’s in store for us. Check out the latest trailer release:
