Warner Bros. Discovery has canceled the virtual fan event DC Fandome, as first reported by Popverse. The online convention launched in August 2020 to celebrate DC Comics, films, TV, and game adaptations and was meant to take the place of in-person events in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although some convention organizers are continuing with online-only events and others are using hybrid models, there has been a mass movement toward returning to exclusively in-person events in 2022. And it seems DC has chosen to forgo virtual programming in favor of in-person appearances.

So far this year, DC has attended San Diego Comic-Con and is slated to attend New York Comic Con in October. 

Although Fandome won't be taking place this year, fans can still keep up on the latest DC news here at Newsarama. You can also see a list of upcoming comic conventions planned for the end of 2022 and beyond.
