Back in 2020 , as everyone was affirmative that the COVID-19 pandemic would last a smattering of months , Warner Bros. decided to host a streaming event calledDC Fandome . For all intents and purposes , it was the DC eq to a Nintendo Direct , with first looks at then - upcoming films like The Suicide Squad and The Batman . It returned again in full personnel during 2021 , considerablymore confident in itselfand with even bigger trailers andfirst looks .
lamentably , it looks like the event was a twofer , because DC toldPopverse’sGraeme McMillan that the result would n’t be derive this year . “ With the return of in person result , Warner Bros. Discovery is frantic to be able to engage with our fan dwell at numerous comic - cons around the world and will not be scheduling DC FanDome for 2022 , ” write WB .
On some stratum , it is n’t too surprising : we saw DC atSan Diego Comic - Conjust a few month ago , and between that andMarvel ’s returnto Hall H , you could tell which style the wind was blowing . Not to mention that having a DC Fandome this year would be rather awkward on several score . Between the cancellation of multiple DC shows , everything go on withThe Flash , and thegeneral messy stateof Warner Bros. as a whole , a celebration of all things DC would be Kinda Weird .

Even so , I ’ll admit to missing DC Fandome . Short - lived as it was , it felt like the kind of yearly issue that DC and Marvel could use , a whole twenty-four hours or weekend where they attempt to betray you on what they ’ve mystify cooking without any interruptions . It ’s very easy for thing to get lost in the shuffle during a comic convention , but when everything is coming from a undivided theatre , it ’s more achievable . Plus , no one can get con skank by watch a livestream at home , just back pain .
