This episode of Geekville Radio deals almost entirely with DC’s virtual convention DC Fandome.
3:00 – Wonder Woman 1984
DC Fandome kicked off with a panel on Wonder Woman 1984, which concluded with a new trailer.
Wonder Woman 1984 is rescheduled for release on October 2nd. Gal Gadot and Chris Prine return to play Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor respectively. Connie Nielson will reprise the role of Hippolyta, with Robin Wright returning to portray Antiope. Joining the cast will be The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal as Max Lord and Kristen Wiig as Barbara Minerva/Cheetah
8:00 – Gotham Knights
The latest trailer and gameplay footage has been released for the next Batman-themed video game Gotham Knights!
As the trailer shows, Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, is apparently dead after detonating The Batcave. He sends a posthumous message to his closest friends and family letting them know what happens. The rest of the game looks to have Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and Robin teaming up to take on several villains, including the mysterious Court Of Owls.

During DC Fandome, the first trailer was officially released. Differences are noticeable immediately, such as Darkseid himself showing up in one of the very first scenes. Other interesting scenes include Superman in his black and white healing outfit, Flash seemingly saving Iris West’s life, and the death of Victor Stone’s father Silas (Joe Morton).
Snyder explained the movie will be released in four one-hour parts. After all the parts have been released, they will be assembled into a four-hour omnibus version. No date was given for the release, just that it will happen in 2021.
