The pop culture convention circuit has been forever changed by the past few years, as the COVID-19 pandemic led to the change of many high-profile in-person events, in an effort to promote social distancing and other safety precautions. Amid this upset in the status quo, online or hybrid conventions were able to particularly thrive — with DC FanDome arguably being chief among them. The free, entirely-virtual event first took place in August of 2020, centered around a livestream that celebrated the upcoming movies, television shows, video games, and more inspired by DC Comics. FanDome then returned a second time in October of 2021 and tripled its audience numbers, leaving some fans to wonder if the event could become an annual occasion for the publisher and its wider umbrella of new properties. At the moment, a 2022 FanDome has yet to be announced, and with DC’s newly-minted parent company of Warner Bros. Discovery recently announcing their plans to bring DC-related properties to July’s in-person San Diego Comic-Con, the question remains — will we get a DC FanDome this year at all?
