Fox Business reported that the announcement comes “a couple months after Comic-Con, which attracts tens of thousands of comics fans to San Diego, was canceled due to the coronavirus-related restrictions around large gatherings.”
The virtual panels will have cast and creators from DC films. These include the likes of “The Batman,” “Black Adam,” and “Wonder Woman 1984” and more. They will also feature casts from television shows such as “The Flash,” “Stargirl,” and “Black Lightning.”
