Rueben's Ramblings

Check Out DCFandome on August 22

By  | 

Going virtual has become the norm since the world was plunged into lockdown back in mid-March, and the next big event to place completely online this Saturday, August 22 is DC Fandome.

What is DC Fandome, though?

Well, it is a mega, 24-hour, immersive virtual fan experience that will bring the DC Universe to life and will feature stars, filmmakers and creators behind that universe’s biggest films, TV shows, games and comics to fans from all 7 continents.

DC Fandome will feature over 100 hours of content that will include panels for movies like Wonder Woman 1984 and The Batman as well as TV shows like Batwoman and Black Lightning (among many, many more).

The only drawback is these panels will only run about 15 to 30 minutes in length, covering 6 distinctive areas:

Hall of Heroes – where all the movie based panels will appear;

WatchVerse – which will feature 4 virtual theatres housing TV panels and the Blerd & Boujee House dedicated to Black nerd culture;

YouVerse – which will be dedicated to fan art and cosplay;

InsiderVerse – focusing on behind-the-scenes content on the Warner Bros. Studio lot;

FunVerse – which include access to digital comics and merchandise; and,

DC Kids FanDome – which will be a kid-safe, interactive environment.

DC Fandome will also include a performance by Chris Daughtry of his song “Waiting for Superman,” and the premiere of the animated feature Superman: Man of Tomorrow starring Darren Criss, Zachary Quinto and Alexandra Daddario.
