DC FanDome Movie News for The Batman, Suicide Squad and More

Its been awhile since posted here. Mostly because have not felt like it. Figured the latest news from this weekend's DC FanDome was worth passing on. The weekend event includes "live" panels. Fake live as all the content was pre-recorded but streaming only in live format which strikes me limiting in this day and age of on demand. At least WB PR is smart enough to make sure their trailers are available for all to see.

On the movie front we got a look at new trailers for upcoming projects including the first trailer for The Batman (56 images), a new trailer for Wonder Woman 1984, first trailer for Justice League: The Snyder Cut (39 images), and a very early look at Black Adam. Aquaman 2 is also in the works with director James Wan saying it will be "a little more serious." Shazam 2 also scored a title of "Shazam: Fury of the Gods" and thats about it on that. On the video game front DC revealed 2 new games - The Suicide Squad Kills the Justice League and Gotham Knights. Trailers for everything below.

Release dates on everything is either unknown and not specific as Coronavirus has disrupted the shooting and release schedules of nearly all entertainment projects. Wonder Woman 1984 is currently scheduled for possible October release but everything else is a circa 2021 to 2023 window so basically meaningless right now.

The Batman
Movie is set early in the career of The Batman, before his famed Rogues Gallery had formed, before he had all those beautiful toys and become The World's Greatest Detective.

Wonder Woman 1984

Fast forward to the 1980s as Wonder Woman’s next big screen adventure finds her facing two all-new foes: Max Lord and The Cheetah.

Justice League: The Snyder Cut
Set to premiere on HBO Max streaming service sometime in 2021, the famed Snyder Cut will be based on the director's orginial and quite extended version of the film with the director considering releasing it as a 4 part miniseries of an hour each. He had always intended to have the Justice League sequel include a battle with Darkseid, plans that are now forever aborted thanks to financial failure of the film. This may be his way of combining both movie plans into one.
