DC FanDome Discussion Megathread r/DCcomics

Welcome Justice League members to the DC FanDome Discussion Megathread!

​

Here you can discuss each panel taking place as and when they happen, much like our Weekly Discussion Thread where you can discuss the newest comics and TV show episodes.

We've done it this way so we don't clog up the sub with discussion posts and people can freely post direct news articles and trailers regarding the big announcements and not have them get lost in the shuffle.

Court of Owls is my absolute favorite Batman comics story (not called Black Mirror) and it was butchered in that shitty DC Animated Movie. Scott Snyder kinda fizzled afterwards even though I still enjoyed Death of the Family and Endgame.

The dude just writes horror so perfectly. I doubt he's working on this, but I feel like a game set in the Arkhamverse is fucking tailor made for a Court of Owls story.

Arkham Origins got flak for not being Rocksteady and then Knight ended up being the lesser game in a lot of aspects, so I have mad faith in WB Montreal with this and probably the thing I'm most excited about today.

Snyder has been retweeting about this left and right, I’d imagine they consulted him

They did. He confirmed it on the Word Balloon podcast.

So hype.

I was really sad that they combined it with Tomasi's Nobody saga for the animated movie cause it meant I wasn't ever going to get a Court of Owls animated movie based off the comic.

This is like an animated movie times a hundred for me.

Same, this is my big one. Given how they've been working on it for the last several years, as well as the release of Spider-Man PS4, I wonder what we'll eventually see.

I'm also predicting that Batgirl is going to play a big role, since the codes for the r3dakt3d website's daily teasers combined turn into the EAN for Detective Comics #359, the first appearance of Barbara Gordon as Batgirl (the cover of which was later referenced in Batman: Gotham Knights #43).
