For everyone who was wondering how WarnerMedia would pull off a massive online event celebrating everything DC Entertainment just days after they laid off 20% of DC’s staff and 600-800 people throughout the company…you were on to something.
DC Fandome has just been split into a two-day event, WarnerMedia just announced, with four of the five programming “domes” postponed until September 12.
This Saturday, the DC Hall of Heroes event, “the epic world designed personally by Jim Lee,” will still take place over an eight-hour span, but will then repeat twice for a 24-hour period. The event will launch at 10 am PDT.
On September 12th, DC Fandome II will offer more than 100 hours of programming including the DC FanDome: Explore the Multiverse track, and DC Kids Fandome. These programs will be on demand but only available for 24 hours, so get that scheduler fired up!
“This is an incredible way to deliver for our fans and offer them twice the DC FanDome experience,” said Lee in a statement. “Seeing all the feedback in real time on social media, we realized that the only way to do ‘Justice’ to DC FanDome was to allow it to evolve and expand into two unique events.”
Given the slate of 100 hours of programming, it does sound like a lot to get up and running, so giving everyone a little more time is not a bad idea.
This Saturday will still include a lot of very splashy DC-centric content however, including a new Wonder Woman 1984 trailer, the long awaited Snyder Cut panel, a performance by Chris Daughtry (!) and a “Surprise DC Comics panel!” at 4:45. DC Comics has seen a lot of surprises of late, so let’s hope this is a positive one.

To be fair this is still a ton of content and should get lots of social media engagement and maybe even some news.
Will you tune in for TWO days of Fandome? Let us know in the comments.
I wonder if this was caused by looking at the schedules people were making on their website and realizing that everyone was doing the “A” trek and not the lower ones. Its not like comic con where if you cannot get in the room you move on to another panel. Its virtual so everyone gets in, and everyone skips the other paths.
