More DC FanDome highlights from the August 22 global event. Read details about upcoming films, TV shows, and video games.
SHAZAM! Sequel
The panel featured Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Faithe Herman, Megan Good, David F. Sandberg, Adam Brody, and Sinbad! They repeatedly mentioned they couldn’t say anything about the sequel. Perhaps the funniest part was when Sinbad called Levi “John Krasinski”. Towards the end of the 10-minute panel, they finally dropped the title for the sequel. SHAZAM! Fury of The Gods, which has a 2022 debut.
Black Adam
We can’t mention SHAZAM! without mentioning Black Adam. There was no trailer or featurette, but Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson did give some cool tidbits and answered some fan questions. There was a motion comic promo drawn by comic book artist Jim Lee and BossLogic and narrated by Johnson.
Johnson also had a quick conversation with actor Noah Centineo, who will be in the Black Adam movie as Atom Smasher. They continued to chat about the Justice Society of America (JSA). A team that predates the Justice League which consists of Atom Smasher, Hawkman, Doctor Fate, and Cyclone. Black Adam is set to debut in late 2021.
Gotham Knights
Warner Bros. Games Montreal announced the new game Gotham Knights. This time, you don’t play as Batman because Batman seems to be…dead. Check out the game trailer below.
You get to play as members of the Bat Family – Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin and Red Hood to solve and avenge the death of their mentor. The intro shows a pre-recorded message from Bruce Wayne sent to the four heroes. Then the trailer continues to show all four in action with glimpses of the game’s villains like Mr. Freeze and the Court of Owls. Below is a video of the gameplay with the panelists including SHAZAM!’s Zachary Levi. Gotham Knights’ release date is sometime next year. There is no set date yet.
The Flash TV
Entertainment Weekly’s Chancellor Agard moderates the The Flash tv show panel with cast members Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Danielle Nicolet, Brandon McKnight, Kayla Compton, and Executive Producer Eric Wallace.
Wallace reveals the main villain will be Godspeed. Including new villains is a way appeal to fans who have just recently discovered Flash comics. Season Seven debuts in 2021.

Titans
The TV show Titans panel featured stars Brenton Thwaites, Teagan Croft, Anna Diop, Ryan Potter, Alan Ritchson, Minka Kelly, Joshua Orpin, Conor Leslie, Curran Walters and Damaris Lewis along with executive producer Greg Walker. Moderated by TV Guide’s Damian Holbrok, the panel starts with five fan-picked best scenes including the debut appearance of Donna Troy’s Lasso of Truth. Then they go into discussion about the upcoming season 3. Check out the panel below.
Perhaps the biggest news is the reveal of the season’s villain. Fans already know him from the show. Jason Todd comes back as Red Hood making it the first time the character comes to live-action.
The Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
DC FanDome’s second big video game announcement is Rocksteady Studio’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The same makers of Batman: Arkham. Questioning why “Kill the Justice League”? Check out the game trailer.
Based off the trailer alone, the game features four core members of the Suicide Squad – Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark and Captain Boomerang. Metropolis is the setting and it’s about taking down the Justice League. Is that even possible?
