What We Learned From The Animation Panels At DC FanDome: Explore The Multiverse
Last Saturday, September 12, saw the second part of DC Comics virtual convention DC FanDome, titled Explore the Multiverse. This had a heavy focus on DC television and also had a few panels about recent and upcoming animated films. Some of these panels were originally scheduled for DC FanDome on August 22, and it seemed that some panels would run concurrently with the panels about live-action films and video games. Thankfully, DC decided to push panels back to September 12 so that the experiences would be more manageable for the viewers. The video games and live-action films had their time to shine in the Hall of Heroes, and now fans could relax and what whatever panels they wanted in whatever order they preferred from 10 AM PST Saturday to about 12 PM PST Sunday. This particular article will have highlights from the animation-related panels that were present in the Watchverse section of the DC FanDome website.

Tidbits That Were Revealed At The Live-Action TV Show Panels From DC FanDome: Explore The Multiverse
The second part of DC Comics virtual convention DC FanDome was available online from Saturday, September 12 to Sunday, September 13. Titled Explore the Multiverse, it had a heavy focus on DC television and also had a few panels about recent and upcoming animated films. Some of these panels were originally scheduled for DC FanDome on August 22 but were pushed back, thus making things more manageable for fans. The panels for The Flash and Titans still dropped on August 22, though the extended versions of those panels were included this time around. (We know that Iris will escape the Mirrorverse in the former and that we will be seeing Jason Todd as Red Hood and Barbara Gordon as commissioner in the latter.) This particular article will focus on tidbits from live-action TV panels that were included in the Watchverse section of the DC FanDome website.

'The Flash' Movie Panel At DC FanDome Teases Multiverse and Reveals Concept Art For New Suit
After so many delays in production, it is understandable for DC fans to believe that The Flash movie would never happen, even with the general knowledge that it would incorporate elements of the Flashpoint storyline from the comics. However, recent news of Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton reprising their respective Batman/Bruce Wayne roles in this film breathed more enthusiasm into the fandom. On top of that, DC FanDome included a virtual panel dedicated to The Flash film. Though it was only ten minutes in length, it did enough to assure fans that the wheels are still in motion regarding the film.

DC FanDome had a panel about The Suicide Squad, which, according to writer/director James Gunn, is still on track to be released on August 6, 2021.

DC Fandome's 'Wonder Woman 1984' Panel Includes Venus Williams, Lynda Carter, And New Trailer Showing Cheetah

Director Patty Jenkins and actors Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig (who plays Cheetah), and Pedro Pascal (who plays Maxwell Lord) were in attendance (remotely from their own individual locations, of course).

James Gunn Provides Glimpse of DC FanDome's 'The Suicide Squad' Panel
This past June, DC FanDome officially announced that the online event would include a panel for The Suicide Squad, which is helmed by Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy writer/director James Gunn. Then, earlier this August, we got a tease from Gunn himself again that the fans are going to be seeing a glimpse from his highly-anticipated sequel to 2016's Suicide Squad. The previous film was helmed by David Ayer, whose screen credits include End of Watch, Bright, Fury, and, more recently, The Tax Collector starring Shia LaBeouf, which is still playing at drive-in theaters and on video on demand. While the first film did not get the best reception, this next one is expected to breathe new life into the IP as far as the big screen is concerned. The official logo for The Suicide Squad was also showcased in multiple languages.
