DC FanDome Thoughts

 

Okay folks it happened again. We got another DC FanDome, and much like what I did last year I'm going to unpack and give thoughts of what peaked my interest.

So we kicked things off in a huge way with a teaser for Black Adam. And I gotta say after watching this I am very much excited for this movie. That one minute teaser only looked epic, and I can't wait for this one to come out.

Then we got a behind the scenes look at Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Now going by the concept art during this behind the scenes look, it seems like things are going to be bigger and crazier than the last movie. Which is awesome cause that's exactly what a sequel should do. Also, really digging the new Black Manta suit. It's nice and clean.

Now for any gamers that might be reading this, check this out.

Now I'm not that much of a gamer but, after watching this trailer I seriously want this game. It just seems like it's going to be absolutely bonkers, and I'm all for that.

Later on we get a teaser trailer for the upcoming HBO Max series, Peacemaker.

At first I wasn't really all that excited for this series. But after watching the teaser I'm actually looking forward to this. It looks like it's going to one part bloody action and another part hilarious. So yeah, I'm definitely marking my calendar for January 13th.

So after that we got a teaser for an upcoming DC animated movie called League of Super-Pets.

Now I'm still interested in this one, however I don't think I'm gonna agree with some of the voice cast for this, but hey. The movie's not even close to being out yet, so I'm gonna withhold my judgment like I do with every other movie that has yet to be released.

Now for one of the many biggest surprises.

That's right! We got a TEASER TRAILER for The Flash. Now I loved this one. What really got me was how much footage we got. I was expecting maybe behind the scenes footage but not a full blown teaser trailer. And this teaser did it's job of getting me hyped for this movie. I'm really curious about what's going to happen here.

Now I'm lumping these two together because unlike the previous things I mentioned they both don't have a reason to be their own separate thing. Basically both Doom Patrol and Titans both got renewed for season four. Which I really did like that bit of news, cause I enjoy both those shows so hearing they're getting new seasons put a smile on my face.

Another bit of news I'm lumping together is that we got concept art for not one but two upcoming DC movies. Those being Blue Beetle and Batgirl. Both of these look good, although I wish we got more information on them other than Batgirl's gonna have a cowl and red hair, but they're both in pre-production so this concept art will have to do.

Later on in the event we got a brand new trailer for yet another video game, Gotham Knights.

Now once again, let me repeat myself. I not that much of a gamer but, I loved this. After seeing that trailer not only did I get goosebumps, but I also wanted the game to be here right freakin' now! I love the Court of Owls storyline, so seeing a game being based on it gets me hyped. And I also want the game to be here right now because I really want to play as my main man Red Hood (😆).

Afterwards we moved on the animated side of DC with a trailer for Catwoman: Hunted.

Now I'm not a fan of anime (but I do have respect for the industry just like ever other form of entertainment), but seeing this trailer and hearing the voice cast does make me want to both watch and review it when it comes out. It seems like it's going to be a pretty fun movie.

We continue with the animated side, cause later on during FanDome we got a sizzle reel for season three of Harley Quinn.

I'm gonna be honest, after watching that I wish season three was here right now. Too bad we're gonna be waiting a long time, but it might be worth it.

So after a couple of boring segments I didn't care for, well expect for the Smallville panel that was pretty good. We transition over back to the movie side of things. Where we got a behind the scenes look at Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

Now much like Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom it seems like things are gonna be bigger than the last movie. Not only are the Shazam family gonna be fighting evil goddesses but we're also gonna get some mythological creatures and different locations as well. Which all just sounds awesome and I'm 100% for this movie. Too bad we gotta wait till 2023, but given what I saw it might be worth the wait.

Now much like the Hall of Heroes from last year, we ended things with a brand new trailer for The Batman.

Ugh! Seeing this trailer really makes me wish it was Mar 4th, 2022 already. Granted that's only a couple months away from now but still. This trailer gave me both chills and goosebumps, and like I said before I wish it was Mar 4th already.

My Thoughts

Overall this DC FanDome was okay. Despite some of the awesome things I've shown above, a lot of the time there were panels that I just didn't care for and there was quite a few of them. Someone I follow on Twitter (keeping their name a secret just in case they don't want to be mentioned by name) said it best. It really seems like there was too much focus on tv shows that are already on television. Really the only things that really kept me interest and everybody else's was the movie stuff, Peacemaker, Harley Quinn, and some of the video game news we got. Like I said, this wasn't bad it was just okay when compared to last years.

Okay, that's going to do it for me. Come back on Monday, Oct 18th for my review of Arachnophobia. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
