DC Fandome will be getting a 2021 live event this fall on October 16th, 2021. DC Comics made a lot of big announcements during last year's virtual DC Fandome event, which is dedicated to everything regarding DC Comics properties, including games, movies, shows, and comics. This year, The Batman and more upcoming DC projects will be highlighted.
This year it was announced that fans can expect to see behind-the-scenes footage, trailers, and clips from many different long-awaited projects. DC Fandome 2021 will give fans a new look at Matt Reeves' The Batman film, which stars Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz as Batman and Catwoman, respectively. This film is supposedly very dark, emotional and offers a different take on the caped crusader.
Fans can also expect footage from the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which will bring back lead star Jason Momoa. The Rock's Black Adam film will also be revealing its first look at the event after months of teasing behind-the-scenes photos and posts. Zachary Levi's Shazam sequel will finally be getting footage months after its cast reveals and constant questions from fans asking if Shazam and Black Adam will finally meet. Finally, Ezra Miller's The Flash film will finally get its first look at the event.
In addition to the projects listed above, expect news and clips from the upcoming animated movie DC League of Super Pets, the Peacemaker TV series, the new season of The CW's Batwoman, The Flash tv series, Superman and Lois, Supergirl (6th and final season), and Sweet Tooth. Fans might also get a first look at the upcoming drama series Naomi (also known as Powerhouse, who is a young teen of African descent with super abilities such as superstrength, superspeed, energy manipulation, and flight) and Stargirl. DC also announced multiple animated projects following the success of its Harley Quinn series (which will be getting its own moment during the event). In addition to that, expect new shows such as Batman: Caped Crusader, the upcoming Injustice film, and an animated Catwoman movie titled Catwoman: Hunted.
Finally, expect new reveals from the upcoming video game Gotham Knights, which follows Gotham's heroes after Batman's absence, and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which is developed by Rocksteady and is set in their Batman Arkham universe. DC Comics fans will also get a look at three new Wonder Woman books and details about the Batman/Fortnite crossover.
DC might not be neck and neck with Marvel in terms of its live-action films, but in terms of its animated movies, television, and video games, DC has marvel beat. The company is more than making up for the lost time after the recent lockdown from the pandemic. Marvel is trying to catch up to DC on the gaming side, but it's going to take more than just Spider-Man games to do that. The recently announced turn-based Marvel game has promise, but only time will tell. For now, expect to see a lot of DC fans happy about the reveals coming to DC Fandome this October.
The Batman is scheduled to be released in theaters on March 4, 2022.
