Speed and star-power: Those are the two clear goals for the DC Fandome virtual event on Aug. 22, which released its full schedule Friday.
Over 100 hours of content stretching across the film, TV and comic book properties from DC Entertainment will unfold over two separate days — Aug. 22 and Sept. 12.
The Aug. 22 event, dubbed the Hall of Heroes, will include panels featuring the filmmakers and casts of “The Batman,” “Wonder Woman 1984,” “The Suicide Squad” and the Snyder Cut of “Justice League,” and the casts of TV series including “The Flash” and “Titans.”
Most of those panels, however, will run just 15 to 30 minutes in length. The panel for the upcoming feature film version of “The Flash,” with filmmakers Andy and Barbara Muschietti, star Ezra Miller, and screenwriter Christina Hodson, will clock in at a speedy 10 minutes. (The briefness of that panel will likely mean unresolved questions surrounding a video of Miller appearing to choke a woman outside an Iceland bar in March will remain unresolved.)
The event will also include a performance by Chris Daughtry of his song “Waiting for Superman.”
On Sept. 12, the panels will largely focus on television and will be available all at once, allowing fans to build their own a la carte schedules.
The full schedule is available at the DC Fandome website; the major highlights are below.
