DC has released a schedule on their official website containing all details such as the days, panels and venue of their presentation at the San Diego Comic-Con 2022.
After a two-year long hiatus owing to the pandemic, San Diego Comic-Con has finally returned this year. Comic book fans and pop-culture enthusiasts are eagerly looking forward to the event. SDCC 2022 is scheduled to be held from July 21, 2022 to July 24, 2022.
The two major studios, DC and Marvel, are both going to be presenting at the SDCC 2022. While the MCU will be presenting after 3 years, the last time we saw DC present at Comic-Con was in 2018, which makes it a 4-year hiatus.
DC fans were eagerly looking forward to the panels and new updates at the SDCC 2022. Though the event continued for 4 days, DC only be presented on the first 3 days of the event. However, DC did not deliver most of the expected updates.
The tentative schedule and details of expected updates is given below –
Thursday, July 21, 2022
DC will start their presentation at 10 am on Thursday with the DC Super Villains Cosplay Meet-Up. At the same time, other venues will be hosting different panels, including DC’s Dark Crisis and discussions of Nightwing, Superman: Son of Kal-El, and other graphic novels with Tom King and Tom Taylor in the panels.
Jim Lee, popular DC writer, will also be celebrating his 25th year working in the industry by speaking about Batman and his history.
This year, we’ll also be getting a sneak peak of the much-awaited game, Gotham Knights. The creators will showcase and talk about the making of the game with additional insights from voice actor, Nightwing Christopher Sean. The event will be held in Room 6A.
DC will also be screening two exclusive episodes from the upcoming season 3 of Harley Quinn.
Friday, July 22, 2022
A panel will showcase the behind-the-scenes of the awaited game, MultiVersus. The creators will be displaying their skills using favorite characters such as Batman, Superman, Finn, Jake and Shaggy.
On this day, there will also be two scheduled screenings of the upcoming DCEU movie, Green Lantern: Beware My Power. Jimmi Simpson, Jamie Gray Hyder, and Brian Bloom, voice actors of the animated film, along with director Jeff Wamester, will discuss the making of the film.
Saturday, July 23, 2022
On July 23, DC took over the coveted Hall H of San Diego Comic-Con. New trailers for upcoming DC films, Black Adam and Shazam! Fury of the Gods were screened.
Black Adam will mark Dwayne Johnson’s debut in the DC Universe and will also introduce the Justice Society. Johnson expects the film to give DC a ‘new start’. The film is all set to release on October 21, 2022. Check out the trailer below –
A new trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods was also unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con 2022. The trailer gave us more of Mirren, and a first glimpse of Rachel Zegler as a brand-new character. Here’s the trailer –
There may also be a surprise presentation of the upcoming Blue Beetle. DC’s last presentation will be that of Sandman, a Netflix adaptation series of Neil Gaiman’s graphic novel of the same name.
Though DC has an elaborate schedule planned, they will most likely not be announcing new projects as they already have a plethora of projects lined up.
No Major Updates on Upcoming Releases
Apart from Black Adam and Shazam! Fury of the Gods, there were no updates regarding DC’s upcoming major releases. Fans expected updates on the sequel to Aquaman, Wonder Woman 3, any of the The Batman spin-offs and follow-ups or the Batgirl movie. There were also no updates on The Flash.
However, unfortunately, DC gave us no updates about these projects. As such, the DC panel was majorly underwhelming and uneventful at San Diego Comic-Con 2022. Hopefully, we will get more updates in the future.
About DCAU
The DC Animated Universe (DCAU; also referred to as the Timmverse or Diniverse by fans) is a shared universe of superhero-based animated television series, produced by Warner Bros. Animation and based on characters that appear in American comic books published by DC Comics. The shared universe, much like the original DC Universe in comic books, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters.
The first TV series set in the DCAU was Batman: The Animated Series, which premiered in 1992; the last TV series was Justice League Unlimited, which ended its run in 2006. The associated media franchise also includes direct-to-video feature films and shorts, comic books, video games and other multimedia adaptations set in the same continuity.
