DC swinging in to San Diego Comic-Con 2023 like...
What would San Diego Comic-Con be without big showings from the biggest companies in the world of comics? While we recently learned that Marvel Studios, the film and TV arm of Marvel, will only have a presence on the convention floor—we now know that DC Comics will have a huge overall presence across the convention.
DC will hold the world premiere screening of its upcoming animated film Justice League: Warworld; a new upcoming documentary, Superpowered: The DC Story, will also screen; plus there are plenty of TV and comic book-centric panels happening along with a whole new booth on the convention floor. The one big part of DC that isn’t (at least not yet) mentioned is DC Films, led by James Gunn and Peter Safran. There’s a chance that could change in the weeks leading up to the event, which takes place July 20-23.
