The panel lineup for DC FanDome on August 22 has been revealed. It promises a first glimpse at two upcoming – and much-anticipated – games, both based on DC Comics characters.
While we already knew about Rocksteady's Suicide Squad from a recent reveal, the other is a new offering from Warner Bros Games Montreal. Previous teases have strongly suggested it's a new Batman game. A Bloomberg report from earlier this year said a new Batman title was planned for a reveal during the DC FanDome event, and this would appear to be it. Eurogamer calls it 'Gotham Knights'.
The Warner Bros. Games Montreal panel is set for 10:30AM PDT/1:30PM EST/6:30PM BST, and the schedule includes the following description: 'Gamers! You won’t want to miss this first look at an exciting new game, and Q&A with its developers. 20 min.'

Rocksteady's new game has a panel lasting 20 minutes too. Confirmed by the lineup as 'Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League', this is the studio's follow-up to the Batman: Arkham franchise and it's hoped that a lot more information will be revealed during the show.
This panel is scheduled for 5PM PDT/8PM EST/1AM BST (that's August 23 if you're in the UK) and reads: 'Will Arnett hosts the highly anticipated video game reveal from Rocksteady Studios, creators of the Batman: Arkham franchise. 20 min.'

The show must go on
DC FanDome is a 24-hour online event scheduled for August 22. The decision to host this event was made following the cancellation of San Diego Comic-Con this year.
As well as the games mentioned above, it will also include the creators and casts from movies such as Aquaman, Shazam!, and The Flash. Basically, it's a chance to catch up on all the news, announcements, and reveals related to DC Comics including the Snyder Cut of Justice League.
