DC FanDome took place this past Saturday, and the second ever virtual event clearly proved to be very popular with fans around the globe.
Offering first-looks and behind-the-scenes previews from the likes of Shazam: Fury of the Gods, Black Adam, The Flash, and, of course, the new trailer for The Batman, FanDome shattered the viewership of last year's inaugural event with a whopping 66 million views worldwide.
“With triple the fan traffic of last year, DC FanDome 2021 exceeded all of our expectations,” said Ann Sarnoff, Chair and CEO, WarnerMedia Studios and Networks. “We continue to innovate across the company in service of our fans, and I cannot overstate the creativity and hard work that went into this highly curated, global digital event. We gave fans what they wanted – the very best of all things DC – and their engagement and response have been fantastic. We’re as excited as they are to deliver on all the great content DC FanDome highlighted.”
WarnerMedia didn't actually provide a breakdown of the views for each panel/teaser, but we do know that The Batman trailer alone generated 25 million views on YouTube. Some fans were a little disappointed at the lack of any big announcements for future projects, this event clearly drew a lot of eyeballs, so we fully expect a third DC FanDome to be officially announced before too long.
