At DC FanDome, Warner Media owned DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures gave us trailers, teasers, news, sneak peeks, and first looks at some of their biggest upcoming properties like 'The Suicide Squad', 'The Snyder Cut', 'Black Adam', 'Shazam 2', 'Flash', 'Aquaman 2' and 'Wonder Woman 1984' . There were reveals on the TV and gaming side too, including The Flash season 7, Titans season 3, Gotham Knights, and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. In fact, there was so much happening that a bunch of stuff had already been moved to September.


Earlier this week, DC announced that it was splitting DC FanDome into two partsDC FanDome: Hall of Heroes (it's this one), and DC FanDome: Explore the Multiverse (September 12). Owing to that, most DC TV properties, except The Flash, have been pushed to September. That's why there weren't any trailers for the likes of Lucifer, Batwoman, Black Lightning, Superman & Lois, or Legends of Tomorrow. Supergirl didn't have a dedicated panel to begin with. But all the biggest stuff dropped this weekend at DC FanDome: Hall of Heroes. Also DC Films Pesident Walter Hamada has said that they are open to doing more elseworld movies if the right story and right film maker comes in.


With that, here are the best film and game trailers we've seen at DC FanDome.


Wonder Woman 1984


A new trailer for Wonder Woman's next adventure gave us our first look at Kristen Wiig as the villain Cheetah, and a bit more clue of what's going on. The second villain Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) promises people that they can have anything, which is somehow how Wiig's character becomes the character — and Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) returns to Diana's (Gal Gadot) life.

Gotham Knights


Batman: Arkham Origins studio WB Games Montréal finally revealed its new DC game, which takes place in a post-Batman world. It's now up to the Batman family i.e. Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin to take over the reins and protect Gotham City. Mr. Freeze and the Court of Owls are among the villains. We also got eight minutes of gameplay.

The Suicide Squad


We didn't get a first trailer for James Gunn's take on the Suicide Squad, but what we did get were the full list of who's playing who Idris Elba is Bloodsport, John Cena is Peacemaker, Michael Rooker is Savant, Flula Borg is Javelin, David Dastmalchian is Polka Dot Man, Daniela Melchior is Rat Catcher 2, Mayling NG is Mongal, Peter Capaldi is Thinker, Alicia Braga is Sulsoria, Pete Davidson is Blackguard, Sean Gunn is Weasel, Steve Agee is King Shark and Nathan Fillion is TDK in addition to a behind-the-scenes first look that promises a '70s war movie with the zany personality of Gunn.

Justice League: The Snyder Cut


In addition to dropping a two and a half minute look at his cut of Justice League, Snyder revealed two interesting tidbits: one, the Snyder Cut will be a four part miniseries with each episode having a run time of 1 hour and two, an international release plan is in the works, reassuring those without HBO Max that they too will get to see Zack Snyder's Justice League in 2021 as a whole movie on Blu Ray DVD.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League


The second DC game at DC FanDome comes from Rocksteady Studios, the maker of the two best Batman: Arkham titles. This one is taking a very different approach, as you can tell, with a Suicide Squad quartet Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang tasked with eliminating the Justice League. You can go solo or play with up to three friends.

The Batman


Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne has a pen pal in the first teaser trailer for The Batman, the standalone DC film written and directed by Planet of the Apes' Matt Reeves. Said pen pal is no doubt the Riddler (Paul Dano), as comic book fans will recognise his trademark “no more lies” phrase. But while the Riddler is nowhere to be seen, we do get glimpses of our new Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz) and The Penguin (Colin Farell). Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' will take place in Year 2 while the upcoming Gotham PD series will take place in Year 1.

Flash


Directed by Andy Muschietti, Starring Ezra Miller with a Screenplay from Christina Hudson, Flash is coming to the theatres in 2022. Though they have not started filming yet, Director Andy Muschietti has released some concept arts of Flash's New Suit for his upcoming Flash movie which Barry Allen gets from Bruce Wayne.

Shazam: Fury of the Gods


With Director David F. Sandberg coming back for the sequel alongwith the original cast and crew, Zachary Levi along with Director David F. Sandberg and some of the cast members, announced the title of Shazam 2 as 'Shazam: Fury of the Gods'.

Black Adam


Dwayne Johnson has shared a teaser for his upcoming Black Adam movie. Directed by Jaume Collett - Serra, Black Adam will arrive at the theatres in 2021 which will feature many members of Justice Society of America.


DC FanDome: Explore the Multiverse will be held on September 12 which is expected to be even bigger as Jim Lee has teased.
