DC Fandome was born last year out of a need to showcase to fans that they were going to bring things to their gaming consoles, TV screens and movie theaters once things started to calm down with the pandemic. It was a massive event that honestly hadn’t been done before on the scale it was foretold to be at. And it was a huge success as a result. Fast forward one year, and the Fandome returned with a smaller format, but arguably even more hype, and the results speak for themselves.
We say that because last year about 20 million people watched the event, a truly staggering number. But this year, apparently, it was viewed by 66 million people worldwide! And needless to say, WB was happy about it:
“With triple the fan traffic of last year, DC FanDome 2021 exceeded all of our expectations,” said Ann Sarnoff, Chair and CEO, WarnerMedia Studios and Networks. “We continue to innovate across the company in service of our fans, and I cannot overstate the creativity and hard work that went into this highly curated, global digital event. We gave fans what they wanted – the very best of all things DC – and their engagement and response have been fantastic. We’re as excited as they are to deliver on all the great content DC FanDome highlighted.”
It’s not too surprising given what the Fandome showed, including the new trailer for The Batman, the first footage of Black Adam, and so much more. You can bet that no matter what’s on the docket, the event will return next year.
