Celebrating 100 Years of DC

DC is spotlighting its earliest decade of publishing, 1935 to 1945, with a retro-styled Daily Planet newspaper that will include first looks at upcoming titles and the full panel schedule. The company plans to celebrate each decade leading up to the centennial across the next several years.

Panels and Screenings

Panels will highlight what’s next for DC, including the return of Vertigo, updates on Batman and Gotham City, and the latest from DC’s All In publishing initiative. Jim Lee will host his annual “Jim Lee and Friends” panel on Friday at 6:30 pm with surprise guests. Warner Bros. Animation and Prime Video will also present a sneak peek screening of the new animated series Bat-Fam on Saturday.
