Bruce Timm Is Back For Batman: Caped Crusader

Bruce Timm is partially responsible for one of the greatest animated programs of all time, Batman: The Animated Series. The landmark show spawned an entire DC cartoon universe of spinoffs — Superman, Batman Beyond, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Static Shock, and technically The Zeta Project — but even though the library he left us with is massive, fans have begged Timm to come back and do something with DC superheroes again, anything. We’re about to get our wish in the form of Batman: Caped Crusader, an all-new series now in development for HBO Max. Timm took the seat at a panel this weekend for DC FanDome. There were no clips to show or even original art beyond the previously released poster, but Timm did reveal a few things about the show we hadn’t heard yet. For one, Caped Crusader will focus on a young, inexperienced Batman just figuring out the whole costumed vigilante thing. People like Commissioner Gordon don’t trust him yet — he’s got to earn his allies.

WB Reveals What To Expect From DC FanDome 2021

DC FanDome 2020 was such a success, WB is doing it for a second year. The return was announced last April, but it wasn’t revealed just what would be highlighted there. As of today, we know (and with the event less than two months away, it’s about time). The movies are the biggest attraction, and DC promises we will hear more about, and possibly see clips from, The Batman, Black Adam, The Flash (movie version), Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and Shazam! Fury of the Gods. The Batman has been confirmed to have a trailer ready; Aquaman and Shazam are still shooting and will be incomplete behind-the-scenes footage. There will of course be panels for every active DC superhero series on broadcast and streaming. Superman & Lois, Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow, Titans, DC’s Stargirl, Doom Patrol, The Flash, Harley Quinn and Supergirl. That last one will have just ended by the time FanDome rolls around; the panel will be more of a retrospective and tribute. Panels for shows that don’t exist

DC FanDome Will Return For A Second Year

Last year, with no public conventions to show off their creations, Warner Bros and DC decided to embrace the digital alternative with the creation of DC FanDome, a virtual convention with multiple streams of panels starring the cast and crew of current and upcoming DC movies and shows. Looks like it worked out well enough that they’re willing to try it again. A second DC Fandome has been announced for October 16. “The epic global event is back!” DC bragged on their Twitter account this morning, embedding the message with a short text-based teaser containing the 1978 Superman score.

The individual panels have not been revealed, nor have they admitted which trailers could possibly make their debut. It’s a given that we should see something related to The Batman, the highest-profile DC release close to FanDome’s date.

It’s About Time Legends Of Tomorrow Got Somebody Named “Spooner”

DC conducted the second half of its FanDome event last weekend, and we learned a lot about what Legends of Tomorrow will look like in its upcoming sixth season. Things are going to be different on the Waverider without its captain! No, don’t panic — Caity Lotz isn’t leaving the series. We know this show drops and picks up actors all the time (Brandon Routh, Courtney Ford and Maisie Richardson-Sellers left last season), but it’s a different scenario for Sara Lance. She’s been abducted by aliens! Why was she taken, and who are they? Nobody knows right now, including the Legends themselves. What they need is an expert. Enter the “Spooner” we were talking about in the headline. Her full name is Esperanza Cruz, she’s played by Lisseth Chavez (Chicago PD), and her official description is as follows: Tough and self-sufficient, Spooner Cruz lives off the grid, devising ingenious tech for the detection of — and defense against — space aliens. And while some might call her paranoid, she calls

Another day, another convention made virtual, but this time we have to hand it to Warner Bros and DC for going all out. DC FANDOME is one of the most elaborate and extensive virtual cons we’ve seen to date, and will be crammed with a ton of things to see (from home) within its 24-hour running time. As the name suggests, this con will be entirely about WB’s DC brand, the shows, the actors from said shows, the cartoons, the comics, the movies (for better or worse)…all sorts of things. And just to remind you how much that is, here’s a full list of what the con will cover in alphabetical order: Aquaman, The Batman, Batwoman, Black Adam, Black Lightning, DC Super Hero Girls, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, DC’s Stargirl, Doom Patrol, The Flash, Harley Quinn, the Snyder Cut of Justice League, Lucifer, Pennyworth, SHAZAM!, The Suicide Squad, Supergirl, Superman & Lois, Teen Titans GO!, Titans, Watchmen, Young Justice: Outsiders and Wonder Woman 1984. DC FANDOME will be divided into
