DC FanDome Unveils Interactive Schedule: Here Are The Panels You Need To Know About
If you're a fan of DC Comics, the DC Extended Universe, and/or The CW's Arrowverse of TV shows, clear your schedule for Saturday, August 22, 2020.
DC FanDome, Warner Bros.' upcoming event celebrating all things DC Comics-related, has released its complete schedule for the entire event, and it's full of panels dedicated to huge movies like The Batman, Wonder Woman 1984, and Black Adam, and tons of shows ranging from The Flash to the animated Harley Quinn series. Find out how to build your own customizable, interactive schedule for the event, and see which panels we're most interested in below.
The full schedule can be accessible at this website, where you can create your own profile and build out your own schedule based on what you're interested in, and you can change the time zone at the top of the page to reflect where you are in the world. It looks like all of the major panels (and maybe even every panel across the board) will be broadcast at two different times: a debut time, and then an encore hours later.
There are over 100 hours of unique content across the six virtual areas you can visit during the event, including the five "Verses" (InsiderVerse, KidsVerse, etc.) and the Hall of Heroes, the latter of which will be the home for almost all of the major panels that /Film readers will primarily care about. That's not to say there isn't plenty of interesting stuff elsewhere – I recommend devoting some time to clicking around the schedule and reading all about it for yourselves – but the Hall of Heroes houses all of the big movie-related panels. Here's our breakdown of what we think will be the biggest panels of the convention.
