DC Fandome 2021 is just concluded, so check out our DC Fandome recap to learn more about top titles coming to cinemas, TVs, consoles and more. At that page, we rounded up all the sneak previews and news.

The dessert and main course was the new trailer for Matt Reeves' The Batman movie with Robert Pattinson, and there are a whole set of heroes and antiheroes we saw at DC Fandome. Primarily, we're excited for The Flash movie, which is expected to deliver multiple Batmen (take that Spider-Man: No Way Home).

Oh, and Aquaman 2 and Peacemaker both have us hyped as well.

Latest DC Fandome 2021 news (updated 5:02 p.m. ET)

That Batman trailer. Wow. 

In the third hour we got a whole of animated content from DC, including a preview of Batman: Caped Crusader, the successor of a sort to Batman: The Animated Series, from Bruce Timm, JJ Abrams and others. A Harley Quinn sizzle reel, made up of storyboards and a couple of finished images, also debuted.

In the second hour, the most recent highlights were a great tease of a Peacemaker trailer and a sneak peak clip of The Flash. The former looks like it was super-fun to make, and the latter ... it teased the return of the Batmobile.

The first block of DC Fandome 2021 (as seen in our DC Fandome live blog gave a behind the scenes featurette for Aquaman 2, a small tease of Black Adam and news from Milestone Media. 

Expect the big Batman trailer to be the finale, because they probably bet people could tune out after they debut that, so it could arrive as late as 4:45 p.m. ET. 

We're eager to learn when exactly Harley Quinn season 3 is coming to HBO MAX, and would appreciate an update from DC.

They've also premiered new posters for The Batman (including a creepy shot we think is of The Riddler) and a shot of Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle.
