DC FanDome shuffles its schedule around, splitting the event and removing a mystery movie panel, replacing it with one for The Flash TV show.
A time slot that had been reserved for a mystery movie panel at DC FanDome
While the star of the show at DC FanDome will be the film panels, the event will cover all aspects of DC Entertainment, including TV, comics, and video games. The schedule starts with a highly anticipated presentation on Wonder Woman 1984The Suicide SquadJustice LeagueThe Batman
When the DC FanDome schedule was first announced, there was a curiously empty slot reserved for a secret DC movie panel in the Hall of Heroes. Now, that mystery has been solved: it's been replaced with a panel on The FlashThe Flash
There is still one mystery left, though: something called the "Surprise DC Comics Panel" is scheduled for the Hall of Heroes event. The only information DC has provided about the panel so far is that it will last 20 minutes. Even though it's called a "comics panel," it seems odd DC FanDome would keep the announcement of a new comic a secret and place it among a slew of TV and movie content. Given the "secret movie panel" was replaced with a TV one instead, there's still a chance the mystery panel could turn out to be a new film announcement.
However, removing the surprise movie panel could just be a bait and switch on DC's part. If those watching aren't expecting a new movie to be revealed, they'll be even more surprised when it happens. Of course, it's entirely possible DC decided not to announce the new movie at this time for whatever reason. The event is already going to be packed with reveals and content, so a new film announcement would stand a better chance of making an impact at a different time. However, DC's plan won't become clear until DC FanDome
