We finally got our look at the full cast of characters for the upcoming The Suicide Squad. The entire cast played around to see who knows the most about the comic origins of this crazy cast. At that point, we thought it was already over but in a surprising twist they threw in one more surprise. James Gunn released an entire short video offering some insight into behind-the-scenes of the 2021 film. We got some teases of Weasel, King Shark biting off someone’s head and a lot of explosions. It was even described as a 70s war film filled with comic craziness. The more I hear about, the more I cannot wait to see it.

FanDome: ‘The Suicide Squad’ Rollcall Confirms Task Force X Members
James Gunn has been teasing The Suicide Squad for quite some time. We knew that there was going to be a large cast of characters. For months, we have speculated who might be playing what character. Especially when the first set photos leaked, we all were just waiting for any confirmation of our speculations. Even just recently, Gunn and Idris Elba have been teasing whoever he may end up playing. Now, after all this wait we got our first look at the film and get a feeling for how crazy this film might end up being.

FanDome: ‘THE BATMAN’ Takes Place During Year Two
To some degree, we knew that The Batman will take place in a separate universe. Yet, we never knew what exactly the plans are for these projects. Director Matt Reeves has been working on a Gotham PD series that will take place in this universe. There have also been rumors of a potential spin-off focusing on Catwoman, who will also appear in the upcoming film. Well, in the DC FanDome panel “Multiverse 101” they have confirmed some interesting tidbits by DC’s Walter Hamada.
They confirm that the story will take place during Robert Pattisons’ Year Two. The entire franchise will take place on a new world where Reeves will plan out its entire expansion. This is quite an exciting reveal, as it confirms that this story will take place independent from the rest of the DC universe. Plus, it’s reassuring to know that Reeves will act as a showrunner to keep everything connected. The Batman is starting to shape into the most exciting project DC is currently working on.

FanDome: ‘Gotham Knights’ Gameplay Teases Showdown With Mr. Freeze
Alright, information is just coming out of this DC FanDome panel on the next installment in the Batman gaming franchise. We got our first look at the game and the confirmation of the title of Batman: Gotham Knights. This opened up the theory if we will also get the confirmation of the rumored gameplay. Supposedly, this game was going to take inspiration from the Lord of the Rings games. This means that it would include various factions at war throughout Gotham. They did confirm that your actions will influence the characters’ development throughout the game. Now, the DC FanDome panel has not only given us a trailer for the story but also an entire 8 minutes of gameplay.
We sadly only have the release date of 2021 so the wait will be a painful one once again. Still, these new gameplay mechanics sound like an amazing addition to the game we know and love. This brings a whole new meaning to protecting Gotham from evil. It will be interesting to see how the co-op will function once the game releases.

FanDome: ‘BLACK ADAM’ Logo Leaks Ahead of Panel
DC FanDome can’t avoid the early leaks. There is still some time to go before the event starts. Some of the merch has already leaked online a bit ahead of schedule. We just recently covered our first look at Task Force X for the upcoming The Suicide Squad film. Now, we also have our first look at the upcoming Black Adam logo. We just recently got a reveal of Dwayne Johnson in costume so it was just a question of time before we see the logo.
I won’t lie, it is kind of bland. The color scheme chosen is perfect for the characters design. Even the font seems to pay tribute to the logo design for Shazam!. It makes sense to connect these shows visually as they will crossover at one point. Still, the logo that really popped in the last film. This is quite different from the tease that Dwayne Johnson shared on Instagram yesterday.
They could’ve made the logo pop out by having the Lightning bolt being black. Johnson‘s teaser made it stand out a bit more but it would’ve been cool to flip the lightning as a reaction to the previous film’s version. It would highlight that he isn’t as kind as Shazam if it had a darker color. Plus, they could make the Black Adam stand out with strong golden lettering. There is always the chance this logo will change as they enter production. It could also just be something they prepared for merch. Even the first logo for the original Suicide Squad film changed quite a bit once the marketing started.

FanDome: ‘THE SUICIDE SQUAD’ Leaked Merch Offers First Look at Task Force X
We are only a few hours away from the DC FanDome event. Throughout the week they have been teasing the various reveals we can expect. Only James Gunn‘s The Suicide Squad has been a major mystery. We’ve been expecting a reveal of the massive cast for the film. Hopefully, there is also the chance we will also get a short trailer. There are still some hours to go before the panel but looks like we got an early look at the characters. The Twitter account RPK shared a first look of the teams through some event merch.
I forgot how large this cast is. We also gto an additional merch that shows some of the logos that will be used for the characters. It is quite a departure from the first over-stylized Suicide Squad logos.
The standouts from this logos are the confirmation of King Shark, Ratcatcher, Savant, Thinker and Peacemaker. The goggles could be a hint at Mirror Master being included. The first shirt design also gives us a look at Idris Elba but still no reveal of who he might be playing. I am a little sad we aren’t getting the Hammerhead version of King Shark but generally cannot wait to see his full deign in action. There is a nice addition that the Suicide Squad will once again be known as Task Force X. Also, it will be interesting to see how they will differ between the film and Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. If this is just our first little tease, i cannot wait to see what the panel has in store for us.
