As previously discussed here on the PiercingMetal website, the DC Fandome is here and will take place for several hours on a computer or mobile device near you. Some of the highlights that we shared on our little dotcom can be perused by clicking HERE. Be sure to check that out for some insight.
PiercingMetal Thoughts: Straight up I will say that there is a lot of things that I am expecting to see revealed during the DC Fandome and I think that I am most interested in the upcoming movie and television series trailers. There has to be a new “Wonder Woman 1984” clip at this point and could we hope that something from the late 2021 “The Batman” film as well? I am hoping for a clip from “Superman and Lois” and maybe a tease of some other series that are being planned out. I imagine we shall see more about “Stargirl” and the other shows that lived on the DC Universe streaming service. Some of the more-gossipy sites had reported that massive layoffs took place in the company and what this means for all the things that we enjoy is anyone’s guess. I imagine its “more as the story develops”. For now I am just going to see what is offered up and hope that you are as well. I’ve been assigned some work today, so my time is sporadic in terms of my full devotion to this happening. Considering that both New York Comic Con and Anime NYC convention were cancelled due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, I see more events like this one coming to pass. Closing up I guess it’s safe to say that there will be a heavy supply of content hitting our Pop Culture features. Chime in down below with your thoughts about this whole thing and I will see you next time.
Back in June we helped to share the news about the upcoming coolness from DC Entertainment called “DCFanDome” which is a virtual convention experience and since there is so much to learn about it you might want to click HERE first. Just a short time ago we received word that a teaser trailer was put online and I present it for you down below. Enjoy.
PiercingMetal Thoughts: Recently, the Comic Con International: San Diego did a series of virtual happenings with their Official Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts and probably all the rest of the ones that they have an account on. This was done based on the fact that the Coronavirus Pandemic had pretty much shut down large public gatherings of any kind. Yes my friends for the first time in its history there was no San Diego Comic Con. One has to wonder if the New York Comic Con and Anime NYC events can happen since conventions like this still seem to be impossibilities. I know I am going to be participating in this and it will mark my second virtual convention event ever. My first was The Toy Insider’s “Sweet Sweet @ Home” which replaced their physical “Sweet Suite”. What do you readers think about this? Chime in down below in the comments section.
