Last month, Comic-Con@Home blazed the way for in-home virtual events. Some things worked. Some were a bust. But yesterday, DC Fandome showed us what in-home virtual events could aspire to. Here’s what we learned from DC Comics premiere global event.

After much teasing, we learned the title of Shazam 2. The movie will be titled Shazam! Fury of the Gods. It will hit theaters on Nov. 4, 2022. Oh, and Sinbad showed up on the panel with a cryptic tease about his role as Shazam. Whether it was serious or in jest is not clear.

It was confirmed that The Flash will feature Batmen Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck. Affleck made his Batman debut in 2016′s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” whereas Keaton played Bruce Wayne in Tim Burton’s 1989 film “Batman” and 1992 sequel “Batman Returns.”

According to Director Andy Muschietti, the The Flash movie will change the DC Multiverse with Affleck being “a very substantial part of the emotional impact of the movie”. According to Muschietti, “The cinematic multiverse is going to be born out of this movie.”

We also saw Flash’s new costume, adorned with bursts of light.

We learned that the film was shut down two months into production due to the coronavirus (only 30% has been shot) and that the theme’s thrust is a “incredibly personal detective story”. We will see Bruce Wayne’s second year as Batman with Robert Pattinson as Batman, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, and Paul Dano playing a “version of Riddler that no one’s seen before”.

Then we saw the first teaser for the film, a dark, foreboding featurette that opened with a disturbing scene of a criminal slowly and methodically duct taping a victim with a note egging on The Batman.

The Batman will take place in a separate universe from that of the other DC Comics movies.

Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series will be coming to Netflix but was delayed by COVID-19. The version will start in 1916, just like the comic, but will not begin the story arc in 1988 but rather, launch the story in modern times. Gaiman noted that this will allow him to rethink some of the characters.

Titans

DC Universe’s Titans teased a third season. It seems to be heading straight to Gotham City and will see Jason Todd (Curran Walters) become Red Hood after leaving the Robin identity behind. We will also see Barbar Gordon and Dr. Jonathan Crane as Scarecrow.

Aquaman

There will be a Aquaman movie scheduled to be released in 2022. About all we learned was that the movie will be “a little bit more serious, a little bit more relevant to the world that we’re living in today”.
