UPDATE: Watch The Batman trailer now!

DC Comics’ virtual event DC FanDome is coming back, and among the many reveals and surprises it will bring is a new The Batman trailer – but when will it release? The coronavirus pandemic was a big shake-up to the entertainment industry, with cinemas all over the world forced to close temporarily and studios reorganizing their schedules, but it also meant that conventions had to be put on hold. Following the cancellation of San Diego Comic-Con in 2020, Warner Bros. and DC Comics created DC FanDome to give fans of all things DC a space during these strange times.

DC FanDome is a virtual event and comic book convention about DC-based content – from comic books to video games, and obviously the DC Extended Universe and Arrowverse TV franchise as well. The first edition of this event took place on August 22, 2020, and September 12, 2020, and it was a big success as fans didn’t need to purchase anything to “attend” the event and it had panels dedicated to some of the biggest titles in the DC universe. In addition to that, DC FanDome dropped some big news about the most anticipated projects from this universe, such as a full cast and character announcement for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad and the first teaser for Matt Reeves’ The Batman – and this year’s event will also bring huge reveals.

The 2021 DC FanDome event will be held on Saturday, October 16, and will be available to stream on the official website for the convention as well as the official DC Comics channels on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook. Although a full schedule hasn’t been released, a teaser showed some of the panels and guests that fans can expect from this year’s event, but perhaps most importantly, right at the end of the video, a new trailer for The Batman is confirmed to be released. Given how big The Batman is and all the anticipation around it, it will most likely be the final panel, as it was last year, and with the event lasting around four hours, the new trailer for The Batman will most likely release between 1:30 pm PT/4:30 pm ET/9:30 pm BST and 2 pm PT/5 pm ET/10 pm BST.

Robert Pattinson as The Batman 2022

Last year’s DC FanDome event left its most anticipated panel for the last, and it was known before it began that a teaser was going to be released. Warner and DC played their cards right with The Batman panel, and after a brief introduction by Robert Pattinson, a chat with host Aisha Tyler about the movie, the obstacles they had gone through due to the coronavirus pandemic, and more, Matt Reeves finally shared the first look at The Batman right at the end of the panel. Now, although DC FanDome 2021 also has some big reveals planned from projects like Black Adam, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and The Flash, all eyes are on the next trailer for The Batman, more so as the movie will finally release on March 4, 2022, so it’s time for a brand new look at what Reeves and company have been working on.

Once the full schedule for DC FanDome 2021 is released, fans will have a better idea of when exactly to expect the new The Batman trailer to drop, and it’s almost for sure that it will be released towards the end of the panel. DC FanDome 2021 is just a few days away, so fans of the DC universe should start planning accordingly so they don’t miss their favorite panels and the biggest reveals from this virtual event.
