DC FanDome

Of course it figures…I post an excitedly written article about the upcoming DC FanDome event happening this weekend, and the next day they decide to revamp the whole schedule by adding a second day.

I know, right? But I can’t be mad, because it just means even more DC awesomeness for all of us to enjoy.

So here’s what is happening with this DC online fan con: the panels and other events are now being split into two days. And it’s still all FREE!!

“DC FanDome: Hall of Heroes” will still take place on August 22 (this Saturday), and the new “DC FanDome: Explore the Multiverse” will now take place on September 12.

DC FanDome: Hall of Heroes will feature panels for some of the most anticipated movies from the DC Extended Universe including Wonder Woman 1984, The Suicide Squad, Black Adam, and The Batman.

With a schedule designed personally by Jim Lee (Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics), Hall of Heroes will feature special programming, panels and exclusive reveals from a wide variety of films, TV series, games, comics and more.

The superpowered show will be available for fans around the world to watch exclusively 3 times in the 24-hour period. The times listed below are the first showings of each event.

From the new schedule, here are the panels I’m most excited to watch:

The Suicide Squad
Hall of Heroes – 11:55am PT/2:55pm ET
This is the panel I’m most looking forward to! First up, writer/director James Gunn takes on fan questions, then brings out Task Force X (the cast) for a fast-paced, no-holds-barred Squad Showdown that tests every team member’s Squad knowledge — and survival skills! I’ve even heard Gunn plans a special surprise. And no, it’s not this really cool Flula remix below… (30 min)

Still so much to see on Saturday, and that’s not even all of the panels, so you’ll definitely want to head to over to DCFanDome.com and register to make your own custom schedule from the available panels, musical performances, and more.

Then on September 12, DC FanDome: Explore the Multiverse will feature series panels, movie premiers, animated features, and so much more. But the main difference is everything will be on demand, so you can make your own schedule of what to watch and when during the 24-hour period the site will be live.

As we get closer to the date, I’ll have my picks of what not to miss when you Explore the Multiverse.

And to protect the younger viewers, DC Kids FanDome will also launch on September 12, at its own kid-friendly site at DCKidsFanDome.com. This way, there’s no need to worry if they’ll stumble upon something meant for older DC fans.

DC also says both days of FanDome will be available in nine languages, including Portuguese, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish. Yay!
