While we expected a new trailer, we got even more as DC FanDome provided a look behind the scenes for the upcoming film while also teasing that Robert Pattinson‘s Bruce Wayne is struggling with his dual identity.

DC Fandome isn’t just about the big famous DC characters we all know and love. It also comprises of upcoming adaptations of works under the former comic imprint Vertigo, now called DC Black. One of those adaptations is DMZ, a dystopian political drama set in the heart of Manhattan in the midst of the Second American Civil War. Producer Ava Duverney gave watchers a first look at Rosario Dawson, playing the lead character Alma, a nurse in search for her son.
This isn’t Rosario’s first rodeo playing a nurse in a comic book adaptation. Rosario previously played Night Nurse aka Claire Temple in the Netflix-Marvel a few years ago. Not much else was divulged apart from a few story details here and there.
DMZ should be a very relevant piece of media to check out when it comes out who knows when in HBO Max.
This year’s DC FanDome has given us our first tease of the upcoming Shazam sequel with the subtitle Fury of the Gods.

Sandberg‘s film that offered our first glimpse at Helen Mirren, Rachel Zegler, and Lucy Liu. Not just that, they also unveiled that they’ll face off against many classic Greek monsters. They’ll be in for a fight of their life.

The hit comic book series Titans is currently in its third season. This season saw the death of Jason Todd, bringing the superhero team back to Gotham City all the way from San Francisco. But it wasn’t long before Jason returned, this time as the Red Hood, and took Gotham City by storm as he teamed up with notorious Batman rogue, Scarecrow. Together they developed a plan to shake the city to its very core. Fans will be happy to hear that the series isn’t done yet, as it’s just been renewed for a fourth season at HBO Max. Nightwing’s Brenton Twaithes confirmed it in a small video ahead of a tease for the rest of the season. There’s still so much potential for these characters in the future as the Titans continue to make a name for themselves and expand upon the characters and storylines unfolding this season.

DC FanDome is the gift that keeps on giving, as we got a tiny panel discussing the upcoming adaptation of Batgirl for HBO Max. While it seemed to mainly be a discussion on Leslie Grace joining the project, they ended it with the first look at her costume in a new piece of artwork. We get her standing on top of a classic Gotham gargoyle. As the directors confirmed, she’ll have her classic red hair and a full cowl.

DC has built up quite the experience exploring animated ventures that expands the different takes of their characters. While they’ve heavily promoted the upcoming Injustice adaptation, they also offered a first look at the upcoming Catwoman: Hunted animated film. It’ll follow our favorite cat burglar in an unlikely adventure alongside Batwoman. The first look revealed that the animation style seems strongly inspired by Anime, as she takes on various bad guys and offers a first look at this animated film’s version of Talia Al Ghul.

It’s been a long wait since we got our first look at Gotham Knights. WB Montréal will continue the Arkham franchise through a spinoff that explores a new kind of Gotham. Bruce Wayne is dead and the Court of Owls is starting their reign over the city he once protected. Of course, Gotham isn’t left without any protection, as Nightwing, Red Hood, Batgirl, and Robin will face off against the new threat. After a delay due to the pandemic, 2021’s DC FanDome gave us a new trailer and a look behind-the-scenes on their take of the Court of Owls.
Rocksteady’s upcoming Suicide Squad game will continue the storyline set up within the Arkham games while embracing a new direction for the game. It will combine the elements familiar to players from the iconic Batman gaming franchise, but takes more of a brawler direction. The first trailer gave us our first glimpse of the Bat-family working together and it looks like a promising addition to DC’s gaming line-up. Sadly, we still don’t have a release date for both, but they are continuing to eye 2022.

Some time ago, we learned that Blue Beetle will be heading to HBO Max, as we explore the story of an unlikely hero, Jaime Reyes. He’ll don the suit that has alien origins that will change his life in many new ways. The future Reyes’ Xolo Maridueña appeared alongside the film’s creative team to share a first look at the characters’ design and talks bout his comic past. While we didn’t get our first look at his live-action design, we did get some artwork. Now what stands out is that Kord Industries is quite prominent in the background, which teases the original Blue Beetle potentially having a role in the project.
