Perhaps predictably at this point, DC FanDome not happening in 2022

DC FanDome, established in 2020 as a virtual alternative to live convention announcements, has served as Warner Bros.’s prime platform for DC comics and DCEU TV, Movie, and Gaming announcements for the past two years, but it has now been confirmed the online event will not be repeating, at least not this year.

The news will come as little to no surprise to hardcore fans, given the absolute lack of any hype surrounding a 2022 Fandome, not to mention the extensive announcements made at this year’s San Diego Comic Convention regarding Black Adam and other (hopefully anyway) DC properties have left little doubt that the pendulum has swung back to live and “in person” announcements in the supposedly post COVID era. DC is expected to have s at the New York Comic Con next month, and any forthcoming announcement about projects — which are, frankly, a bit thin on the ground at moment for reasons discussed below — will likely emerge from that source.

The real six hundred-pound Gorilla Grodd in the room is the fallout, real or imagined, resulting in the recent multiple projects and already existing series, particularly in the services animation division.

Zaslav has stated that “DC is top of the list for us,” according to Popverse. Despite some evidence to the contrary, the studio is still apparently committed to releasing The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Blue Beetle at some point between now and 2023. That apparently doesn’t cover Fandome, but it seems likely that the studio is pursuing a “business as usual” approach to future announcements and that the future of DCEU announcements and other DC properties is heading back to the convention halls. At least for Warner Discovery’s foreseeable if hazy future.
