Okay, I was actually debating if I should do this one much like how I gave my thoughts on the previous DC FanDome event, because I didn't know if there would be any exciting announcements much like the Hall of Heroes event. But there would have to be some big reveals even if this time around it would be about the TV and comic book side of the DC world. So let's stop wasting time and dive right in.
The first piece of big news was Young Justice season 4 has a subtitle and it's going to be called Phantoms. Really curious what that means exactly. Because the second season was titled Invasion, and that was because the heroes and the planet Earth were being invaded. The third season was titled Outsiders, because it was telling the origin story of that version of The Outsiders. So is Phantoms going to give us Spectre? Or is it more metaphorical like the ghost of the past are going to haunt our heroes today? Who knows. We'll just have to wait and see.
The other bit of news we got is Tyler Hoechlin will be getting a new suit for the upcoming series Superman & Lois. They have described the suit as "badass". I'm really hoping that's true. Because I the current suit Hoechlin is wearing fine but it does have some issues, like those two straps things that come really close to connecting with the S.
Now if there's any Doom Patrol fans out there, I've got some great news. The show has been renewed for a third season. Which makes me very happy, because this show is so crazy that it just deserves another season.
This was probably the biggest story of them all. And that's Junkie XL gave us a snippet for this score for the upcoming Zack Snyder's Justice League. And I gotta I love it. It really gave me Justice League: The Animated Series vibes when I kept listening to it. What also makes it great is while I do enjoy Danny Elfman's work this music is clearly going to be better. Because with the theatrical cut of Justice League just had a very forgettable score.
What also got my eye during this DC FanDome was some Justice League wallpaper. The reason I bring it up is because it doesn't say Zack Snyder's Justice League like the previous ones have, it says Justice League: Director's Cut. So is that going to be the title? In all honesty I don't think any reporters really know. But whether it's called Zack Snyder's Justice League, Justice League: Director's Cut, or even Justice League: The Snyder Cut one thing's for certain is it's going to be Zack Snyder's vision unlike the 2017 film.
The next story actually has to do with comic books, more specifically Earth One. Basically what was said was that more Earth One stories are being worked with Batman: Earth One Vol.3 coming out "very soon". Now I haven't read every single Earth One comic, so far the only ones have been Superman: Earth One Vol.1-3, Batman: Earth One Vol 1-2. and that's pretty much it. But I like hearing this news because the Earth One stories are pretty good.
Now this wasn't the very last thing to happen at DC FanDome, I'm just putting last as a best saved for last kind of thing. But anyways, the story was Barbara Muschietti (a producer for The Flash movie) went on to say "Well, I want you to see it, so I'm not going to tell you a lot. But what I will tell you is that it's a ride. It's going to be fun and exciting and there are a lot of DC characters in it. Flash is the superhero of this film because he is the bridge between all of these characters and timelines. And in a way, it restarts everything and doesn't forget anything."
Now that those last words really got people's attention. "It restarts everything and doesn't forget anything". What could that mean? Well someone on Twitter (I forgot there name, so my bad) had a theory. They theorize that the "restart everything" might be a way to get the Snyder Cut of Justice League into the DCEU canon thus erasing the theatrical cut from the DCEU. And the "doesn't forget anything" is probably just a way of saying how nothing from DC is forgotten about. Now let me reminder you, that was just a fan theory and not from something official! So anyways I was already planning to see this movie but now I'm really interested after that last quote.
My Thoughts
So overall I thought this event was fun but I still lean towards the Hall of Heroes event. Because that one had a lot of big stories, sure there were news stories here but they don't seem nearly as big as the other ones from the previous event. However what Explore the Multiverse lacked in news coverage it made up for with fan stuff. There was something for everybody. Like WatchVerse, YouVerse, KidsVerse, and tons of fan arts and cosplays being displayed.
So that's going to do it for me. Come back on Thursday, Sept 17th for my review of The Devil All the Time. Until then enjoy the rest of your day.
