Grab your utility belt and your lightning bolts: It’s time to head back into the DC FanDome. The free online streaming event returns on October 16, 2021, giving us a sneak peek at everything DC has in store for film, televisions, comics, games, and more.
DC launched FanDome last year as a virtual con experience during the pandemic, and they are bringing it back as we are still very much in pandemic mode (Hot Vax Summer, we hardly knew ye).
Ann Sarnoff, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Group, said, “DC FanDome 2020 was a first-of-its kind global virtual fan experience and showcased every aspect of the DC Universe with unprecedented scale and access. This year, we’re taking everything that people loved about DC FanDome and supercharging it to super-serve fans with even more exclusive first-looks, breaking news, in-depth interviews and insight from the stars and creative teams of their favorite DC content.”
Warner Bros. Pictures will drop an exclusive new trailer for The Batman, as well as sneak peeks at highly anticipated films Black Adam and The Flash. We’ll also get a look at sequels Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

And those are just a handful of the reveals coming from FanDome. The event will be captioned in over a dozen languages, and will feature the DC Kids FanDome, a family-friendly hub for everything new coming in kids animation.
In addition to streaming on their website, DC FanDome will be available to watch via Twitch, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. The entire event is free, but there is a FanDome Shop to feed our endless hunger for exclusive merch.
I enjoy FanDome as a one-stop-shop for everything DC. It’s a nice break from schlepping between a dozen different conference rooms to get piecemeal news. And with the popularity of studio-centric events like the D23 Expo and the wide-ranging grip that these companies have on so many mediums, it only makes sense to collect everything into a day-long event.
And the fact that it’s free and I can watch from my couch in my pajamas? What’s not to like?
DC FanDome begins on October 16, and we’ll be updating you will all the trailer drops, exclusive reveals, and more.
