With COVID-19 ensuring that large gatherings are off the table for the foreseeable future, movie studios are looking for ways to connect with fans to hype up upcoming projects. In the case of Sony, that meant a digital presentation for the PlayStation 5 reveal, and it now sounds like DC is planning something similar for upcoming films and TV shows. 

According to a report from GWW, there are plans in place to hold a digital convention called "DC FanDome." It's going to be a free, online event held on August 22nd, and will take place over a 24-hour period starting at 10am PDT. 

The site notes that it will be a "global event that promises new announcements from WB Games, Film, TV and comics," and that fans can look forward to appearances from the cast and filmmakers of shows and movies like The Batman, Black Adam, The Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman 1984, Titans, Doom Patrol, Stargirl, and more. 

This sounds similar to what Marvel Studios did a few years back with a "Marvel Event," and it will now be interesting to see if they follow suit with a show sharing first looks at the Disney+ TV shows and upcoming big screen releases like Eternals and Black Widow

For DC, "FanDome" might have the potential to really put their slate of films and TV show on the map and bring some much-needed attention to what they currently have in the works.

"global event that promises new announcements from WB Games, Film, TV and comics"

Gotta admit that is a very smart move. WB has a very strong multi-media library, and they would be fools not use that to create a massive buzz event like this

I'm down for some announcements.

Although I wouldn't expect "special appearance by Ezra Miller" to be in the cards

@DannRamm113 - since he’s such an idiot have him trip into wonder women’s spear. Wally West takes on the mantle. All of this mentioned in a Star Wars crawl at the start of the movie

Calling a virtual event a "dome" is a weird idea, but otherwise this sounds... really smart?

@tmp3 - Have you listened to RTJ4?

@Necropolitan - Not yet. I’ve only heard their really famous singles so far
Kumkani
Kumkani - 6/12/2020, 6:26 AM
@tmp3 - I think RTJ2 and RTJ4 are their best projects so definitely check out those ones. Those two are some of the best rap albums I've heard in a while.

@Necropolitan - Alright, I'll check it out for sure. I know that El-P did the score for Capone recently, lmao.

Speaking of DC movies me and a friend came up with our own hypothetical DC Slate if we were in charge all those years ago. Thoughts on the matter would be appreciated :).

Hopefully to announce Man of Steel 2, Flash without Ezra Miller, a Martian Manhunter film and Green Arrow movie too.

As for reports on video games it will be the new Batman game, Suicide Squad game, Wizarding World game and there was more on Resetera that leaked, but I can't remember it all.
