The first day of DC FanDome was jam-packed with announcements for every fan of the expansive comic universe. Check out all the biggest announcements from the big event in our recap below and peek at the full DC FanDome schedule to stay up-to-date on the latest reveals.

Cheetah’s Full Reveal in Wonder Woman 1984

The second trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 had plenty for fans to love, and it gave us our first look at Kristen Wiig’s Cheetah in her fully transformed state allowing her to travel at incredible speeds and scale walls.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=ww84-dc-fandome-trailer-gallery&captions=true”]

Though most of the trailer focuses on Barbara Ann Minerva and her journey towards transformation, we see a fully-realized Cheetah near the end of the trailer, facing off against Wonder Woman donning her golden eagle armour. In the clip, we see her fight Diana to a standstill.

Wonder Woman 1984 is currently slated for an October 2, 2020 release.

Gotham Knights Announced

WB Montreal’s Batman game Gotham Knights has finally been revealed after literal years of teasers. Instead of playing as Batman – who is reportedly dead – you’ll take control of Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Red Hood. It will be entirely playable solo or with two-player online co-op. A 7-minute gameplay trailer showcases the type of gameplay we can expect, and it looks similar to the previous Batman Arkham games, although WB Montreal has confirmed it takes place in a separate timeline.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=batman-gotham-knights-gameplay-screens&captions=true”]

Each character will have their own set of abilities, such as Robin’s ability to teleport short distances in combat using the Justice League’s satellite, or Batgirl’s many martial arts styles. Besides a plethora of Gotham goons, we got a glimpse at Mr. Freeze attempting to encase Gotham City in ice as well as a short fight involving Batgirl and Robin.

The end of the official trailer teased the Court of Owls’ involvement with a large circular room lined with coffin-like enclosures which are likely housing the Talons — child assassins kidnapped by the Court of Owls.

Gotham Knights is set to release in 2021 for PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

As part of the revival Milestone Comics will be releasing classic issues in digital format starting in September 2020.

The Snyder Cut Will Be Released in Four Hour-Long Chunks, First Teaser Shown

Zack Snyder’s long-fabled “Snyder Cut” of 2017’s Justice League, known as Zack Snyder’s Justice League, had its first official trailer debut during its panel this afternoon.

Snyder also announced it will debut in four, hour-long chunks on HBO Max in 2021, and that the whole thing will eventually be able to be viewed as an entire film. The project reportedly costs upwards of $30M to produce and Snyder has confirmed there will be no reshoots with the original cast, using only previously shot footage.

Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is a Next-Gen Co-op Game

Rocksteady Studios, primary developer of the Batman Arkham games, revealed its long-awaited next game, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, with a trailer and some brief details. In Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, players take control of Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark, who are tasked with taking down a mind-controlled Justice League. It can be played solo, or with up to four players cooperatively. If you’re playing single-player with AI-controlled teammates, you’ll be able to switch between different characters at will.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-trailer-screenshots&captions=true”]

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is slated for release in 2022 for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

The Batman First Trailer Released

Rounding out DC FanDome was the long-awaited first trailer of Matt Reeves’ The Batman.  In it, we got a look at Robert Pattinson’s darker, dishevelled Batman, glimpses of Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman (although Reeves stated she isn’t Catwoman yet in this film), Colin Farrell as The Penguin, and Jeffrey Wright as Detective Jim Gordon.

[ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/23/the-batman-trailer-dc-fandome-official-footage]

The Batman is only around 25% complete, according to Reeves, as production has faced many delays due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Production is planned to resume in September.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=the-batman-official-trailer-1-stills&captions=true”]

The Batman is currently slated for an October 1, 2021 release date.

The Batman’s first trailer was packed full of eerie mystery.

DC’s FanDome event has been a non-stop rollercoaster of news and announcements. But the virtual convention was topped off by what many would consider to be the most anticipated event of the day: A first-look at the new Batman film by Matt Reeves. More than just concept art or behind-the-scenes sneak peeks, Reeves brought a full two-minute teaser trailer for The Batman.

With an eerie Nirvana song to set the tone, The Batman is already delivering on Reeves’ promise to be unlike any Batman movie we’ve seen before. It will dive into the Dark Knight’s second year under the cowl and feature the “origin story” of some major players from comic book history like The Penguin, The Riddler, and Catwoman. Reeves has emphasized that it will look more into Bruce’s work as the World’s Greatest Detective than Batman as a symbol of hope or peace.

We’ve broken the teaser down frame-by-frame to uncover 22 details and clues you might have missed for the movie.

The Batman is set to hit theaters on October 1, 2021. And be sure to check out more of our DC FanDome coverage, from news about James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad to a second trailer for Wonder Woman 1984

1. No More Lies

Someone is causing quite a stir in Gotham City. The trailer opens with the GCPD investigating a crime scene. There’s been a murder, and the victim had their face covered in duct tape, with “No More Lies” written across it.

2. New Jim Gordon

Jeffery Wright is playing Jim Gordon, who likely hasn’t become the commissioner of the GCPD just yet–actor Alex Ferns is on the docket to play Commissioner Pete Savage, a character invented for the movie. This Gordon is likely a detective still rising through the ranks.

3. The Riddler

It’s fairly easy to guess that the murderer is none other than Edward Nashton, aka The Riddler, who will be played by Paul Dano in the movie. Gordon narrates a note left for Batman at the scene: “From your secret friend. Who? Haven’t a clue. Let’s play a game, just me and you.”

Matt Reeves explained in the panel that this will be the first emergence of the Riddler, meaning that the GCPD has never encountered a villain like this before.

4. Clues in the card

A Riddler hallmark is leaving behind coded clues and messages and we get to see a few here in the card he left behind. It reads, “What does a liar say when he’s dead?” If we had to guess, we’d say “the truth,” maybe? Or “nothing?” The message is followed by a series of symbols.

5. Lies

One of the Riddler’s messages at the crime scene comes in the form of a wall of newspaper clippings–apparently the man he’s killed, named “Don,” was some sort of judge or DA, who had been getting quite a bit of good press. Though, according to Eddie, it’s all lies.

6. Maroni Drug Bust

The late Don was apparently behind, or somehow involved in, the bust of the crime lord Sal Maroni.

7. Not an origin story

It’s important to remember that this movie will not be an origin story. It’s set in the second year of Batman’s time in Gotham and he’s already established a working relationship with the GCPD. We can see that here, in the way that Bruce is allowed to freely walk onto the crime scene in costume, surrounded by cops. They know who he is, and though they may not entirely trust him, they’re certainly working with him.

And perhaps more ominously, The Riddler knows who he is, too, and is definitely trying to get his attention.

8. The commissioner

It looks like this is a shot of Alex Fern’s Commissioner Savage, likely giving some sort of briefing about the murder.

9. Bruce’s eyes

Bruce looks a little worse-for-wear here, eyes blacked and face half covered, as he watches this press briefing from afar before turning his motorcycle around and heading back to Wayne Manor. What happened to make him want to hide his face in broad daylight?

10. New Alfred

Andy Serkis’s Alfred Pennyworth doesn’t make a physical appearance in the trailer, but he does have a voice over, telling Bruce that he’s become “quite the celebrity.”

11. New Cave

We only get a brief glimpse of what must be the new Batcave–and it’s certainly less cave-like than versions we’ve seen in the past. It looks like it actually has pieces of Wayne Manor’s stairs reaching down into it.

12. Don’s funeral

If we weren’t convinced already that the late Don was some kind of major public figure, the scale of his funeral certainly provides a clue.

13. Message for Batman

The funeral is interrupted by a brutal attack, likely from Riddler again. An SUV covered in writing and symbols drives straight into the crowd before a suicide bomber with “To The Batman” written on his chest gets out. Bruce is in attendance, but not in costume.

14. Catwoman

Our first glimpse of Zoe Kravitz’s Selina Kyle is shrouded in shadow. She’s in the process of doing what she does best–cat burgling–from what looks like a museum or a mansion. Her costume looks homemade, with a mask that covers only half her face and two tiny corners that give us just the hint of a cat ear silhouette. According to director Matt Reeves, this movie will feature Selina Kyle before she officially adopts the Catwoman title and will function as a sort of origin story for her.

15. Penguin?

Reeves also explained that this version of Oswald Cobblepot, played by Colin Farrell, who he called “Oz,” is at an early point in his journey to becoming a kingpin of crime in Gotham–and that he actually hates being called Penguin. It’s tricky to tell–especially because if it is indeed Colin Farrell, he’s under some intense prosthetics.

16. “If you are justice”

Riddler voices over (with heavy editing effects), warning that if “you are justice, please do not lie. What is the price for your blind eye?” This could be a warning to Batman, but it could also be a warning to the justice system of Gotham City itself.

17. A fight in the GCPD

While the GCPD seems to work with and tolerate Batman’s help on cases, things aren’t always smooth sailing. We get a split-second look at what looks like an all-out brawl between Bruce and a slew of GCPD officers in an interrogation room.

18. Batman vs Catwoman

Unsurprisingly, Bruce and Selina don’t exactly get along at first. We see the two of them squaring off, presumably after Bruce interrupts Selina’s attempted heist.

19. Joker gang

We see Bruce go up against a gang wearing clown face paint. Now, as far as we know, no version of the Joker will exist in this movie, but it would certainly seem that the Clown Prince Of Crime has left a mark on the city–that, or this is some sort of criminal phenomena that will go on to inspire the Joker to emerge somewhere down the line.

20. Echos of the Zodiac

We get a brief glimpse of someone, presumably Riddler, going through his duct taping process–something we saw for a split second in the trailer as well. The costume is certainly a far cry from the bright green and purple suits we’ve seen on Eddie before. This version seems to skew more towards the Zodiac Killer with a baggy ski mask, glasses, and a bulky dark coat.

21. He’s vengeance

Reeves explained during the panel that, because of how early it is in Batman’s journey with Gotham City, most citizens are still afraid of him. He’s not a beacon of hope; he’s running around “putting the fear of god” into anyone he thinks is doing wrong. We see exactly how brutal he can be here as he goes after one of the Joker-like gang members with some bone-crunching punches.

22. New ride

The new Batmobile has been featured heavily in promotional material that Reeves has posted on Twitter, but we get to see it in action here, in all its turbo-charged glory.

During the panel for The Batman at DC FanDome, director Matt Reeves discussed his upcoming Gotham City TV series, which is coming to HBO Max. During this panel, we also got The Batman movie’s first trailer.

While there was already a TV series that took place in the Caped Crusader’s stomping grounds, Fox’s Gotham, Reeves’ new show feels more akin to the comic book series Gotham Central by Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker. “I mean, for me, the idea of this was a story in which Gotham has the sort of depths of corruption,” Reeves explained during the panel. “And then the idea that we could actually do a series that is going deeper into an aspect of it, which in this case is the corrupt police department and the corrupt inner workings of the city.”

Reeves is accompanied by a very seasoned writer who is a perfect fit. “Terence Winter is just like an incredible writer, so the idea that we got him to do this I mean just is literally a dream,” Reeves said.

The Batman director Matt Reeves and star Robert Pattinson provided fans with their first extended look at the 2021 reboot at DC FanDome. And, boy, what a hell of a trailer it was. Moody, atmospheric, a murder mystery, and all of it set to Nirvana’s “Something in the Way”.

While Reeves had previously posted The Batman costume camera test (with its hint of Michael Giacchino’s score) and Batmobile photos from the set, the DC FanDome panel reveal offered the first extended look at Pattinson’s Dark Knight in action, the new Batman costume, what Robert Pattinson’s Batman sounds like, the movie’s cast, and the new Batmobile in action.

The Batman trailer features a lot of Jeffrey Wright as GCPD’s Jim Gordon who, along with his fellow cops, are investigating a brutal murder within an affluent mansion. Could it be the home of a mob boss? Who is that masked killer? All we know for sure is that the killer left a message for Batman.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/23/the-batman-trailer-dc-fandome-official-footage”]

Want a closer look at the trailer? We’ve done the work for you! Here are 63 stills, screencapping just about every unique still in the first official teaser trailer for The Batman:

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=the-batman-official-trailer-1-stills&captions=true”]

Reeves revealed during the panel that the murders Batman is investigating in the story are tied to the history of Gotham, and the deep corruption in the city, which leads to  Batman exploring his origins without the movie necessarily having to depict that.

Matt Reeves also confirmed that Bruce Wayne made the Batsuit himself and that star Robert Pattinson had a lot of input into the suit’s creation since he was the one who had to wear it and be able to move around and fight in it. (It took about a year to design both the Batsuit and Batmobile, Reeves revealed.)

Batman and the GCPD appear to be fine working together … until some sort of altercation breaks out in that holding cell. Was Batman caught? Or are Gordon and the cops trying to keep him from beating the tar out of a suspect? Gordon appears to be either warning or restraining him at one point.

We get a lot of footage of Zoe Kravitz in her Catwoman outfit, which seems very homemade and less of a costume per se. She even spars with Batman at one point, who seems surprised by her martial prowess. But as Reeves pointed out in the panel, she is not yet Catwoman in this movie, She will emerge as Catwoman.

We get a very quick shot of what appears to be of a heavily made-up Colin Farrell as Penguin standing in the rain. Someone get that man an umbrella! Reeves said he is still “Oz” at this point and doesn’t like being called Penguin. The movie is about the snowballing of these characters into who they will become. Reeves also said Riddler is just starting out at this point in the story.

While we don’t see Andy Serkis’ Alfred we do hear him speaking to Bruce Wayne at one point, where he observes that he’s becoming quite the celebrity. We do see Batman’s work station in the Batcave, the Batmobile parked nearby.

Much of the trailer establishes the face-painted street gang members Batman confronts, including one prolonged shot where he beats the living crap out of one goon’s face before telling, “I’m vengeance.” Betcha thought he was gonna say “I’m Batman,” didn’t you?

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=the-batman-how-robert-pattinsons-batsuit-draws-from-the-past&captions=true”]

We see much more of Batman’s costume here, including the lenses that cover his eyes (but notice at the end that Bruce still wears black makeup over his eyes). It should also be noted that Bruce goes out in public at one point on a motorcycle with half his face covered but not in his Batman costume.

And that voice at the end of the trailer — is it Riddler? Hush? The Holiday Killer? “You’re a part of this, too,” the voice says. “How am I part of this?,” Batman asks. “You’ll see …”

Matt Reeves said that gothic Liverpool, England — yes, the home of the Beatles! — is the stand-in for Gotham City, although the director hopes that viewers won’t be able to identify where this Gotham is exactly.

Reeves also said Gotham City is afraid of Batman in this story. He’s in his second year and is not yet the symbol of hope that he will become so they are unnerved — those who believe he’s even real — by his violent vigilantism.

He also said we will see this Batman mistakes during his investigation and grow from it. Reeves cited Darwyn Cooke’s “Ego” storyline as a comics influence on Batman/Bruce Wayne peering into himself but also cites the movie Chinatown as a detective story about a gritty, flawed investigator looking into murders in a deeply corrupt place. The French Connection and Taxi Driver were also cited as film influences.

The grand finale at DC FanDome today was not surprisingly The Batman panel, which finally gave us our first real sense of what to expect from the Robert Pattinson/Matt Reeves reboot of the Caped Crusader. And during the event, the director also addressed how the film’s universe will connect to the recently announced HBO Max series Gotham PD.

Pattinson stars as a younger version of Bruce Wayne/Batman, and Reeves writes and directs the highly anticipated film, which got a new trailer during the panel. Reeves confirmed that the film is set during “Year 2” of Batman’s career, but Gotham PD will be set during “Year 1.” (Be sure to also check out all of DC FanDome’s Biggest and Best Announcements as well as the full DC FanDome Schedule while you’re here.)

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=the-batman-official-trailer-1-stills&captions=true”]

“The idea of this story was a story in which Gotham, which has this depth of corruption, and the idea that we could do a series that is going deeper into an aspect of it, which in this case is the corrupt police department, the corrupt inner workings of the city,” said Reeves. “And the way we’re gonna do this series… [Executive producer] Terence Winter is just an incredible writer, so the idea that we got him to do this, just is literally a dream. The idea is, we go back to year one, and year one is the beginning of the first emergence, the first appearance of this masked vigilante that starts to unsettle the city, and you start to see the story through the POV of these corrupt cops, and one in particular. And the story is actually a battle for his soul.”

Reeves didn’t elaborate on who this cop is, but it’s clear he will form some kind of connection with the mystery of Batman.

“He’s a cop over generations,” continues Reeves. “And the history of corruption in Gotham is enormous and goes back many years, and the story is like, as you realize that there’s this myth building in the background, you’re actually in a new place where you’ve never seen these characters before – some of them we’ll touch on that you may have seen in the comics, but others are totally new. Then you can go down an avenue and go into detail that you couldn’t do in a movie, and to go into these rich places and meet entirely new characters that Terence is going to create.”

If you’re looking for the continuation of the story established in Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight, it’s not in the upcoming WB Montreal game starring the Bat-family that more closely resembles those titles. As we learned at DC FanDome, it’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League that is a continuation of the Arkhamverse.

As revealed during the Suicide Squad game’s panel, Kill the Justice League continues the narrative established in the previous Rocksteady Arkham games. Some of the narrative threads established in that trilogy will be picked up here, although specifics weren’t shared. We do know the game tells an original story where they’re apparently tasked with taking down the Justice League, including Superman.

On the other hand, Gotham Knights will not be–WB Games Montreal told ComicBook, “Gotham Knights is an original story set in DC’s Batman Universe and not connected to the Arkham series.”

After a long wait, Rocksteady has finally revealed its next game with an in-depth look at DC Fandome, titled Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The studio had announced its Suicide Squad game with the promise of more details to come and a teaser image of a target over Superman’s head. The teaser-trailer expanded on that concept and announced a release date of 2022 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.

The debut trailer shown during DC Fandome featured several members of the squad goofing off and then reluctantly springing into action against enemy forces. It ended with Superman showing up and apparently killing a civilian, as the Suicide Squad realized they would have to take down the hero.

A follow-up with host Will Arnett suggested the four main characters will be Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang, tasked with defeating the Justice League. It’s 1-4 player co-op with all four characters represented, though you can play single-player and have your companions played by AI and switch between them.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League may focus on Task Force X taking down the beloved superhero team, and the universe the game takes place in is actually one that will be familiar to fans of developer Rocksteady Studios.

Speaking during DC FanDome, Rocksteady Studios’ Sefton Hill confirmed Suicide Squad is a “continuation of the Arkhamverse” that began in Batman: Arkham Asylum and came to its seeming end in Batman: Arkham Knight. Hill explained that Suicide Squad is part of this world and will actually let players see the continuation of plot threads and characters first introduced in those Arkham games.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-game-announcement-trailer-dc-fandome”]

“This is a continuation of the Arkhamverse, so a lot of the threads and storylines you’re going to see come to fruition in this game,” Hill said.

This also means that Suicide Squad will not be in the same universe as WB Games Montreal’s upcoming Gotham Knights, which focuses on the extended Bat-family of heroes in a new continuity.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-trailer-screenshots&captions=true”]

Rocksteady confirmed Suicide Squad is set for a 2022 release for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Kill the Justice League playable characters will feature Harley Quinn and more.
