A little over a year ago, the world of fan conventions and experiences changed in a major way with the launch of DC FanDome, a global event that united all aspects of DC Comics. As was announced earlier this year, DC FanDome will officially be returning for another event in October of 2021, and now we have our first inklings as to what that will entail. On Tuesday, DC announced the first wave of details tied to DC FanDome 2021, which is set to occur on Saturday, October 16th beginning at 10 am PT/12pm CT. The free all-new, epic streaming event will feature exclusive content and breaking news tied to a wide array of DC Comics movies, television shows, video games, comics, and more.
