DC announced today their return to New York Comic Con (NYCC) from Thursday, October 9, through Sunday, October 12 with its multi-level DC Booth on the convention show floor (#4365), showcasing comics, live action, animation, gaming and more. Animation fans won’t want to miss a sneak-peek panel for Bat-Fam, the upcoming Warner Bros. Animation series set for Prime Video.
While at NYCC 2025, DC will continue its celebration of 100 years publishing the World’s Greatest Super Heroes by focusing on the first decade: 1935 to 1945. With reverence for the past and an embrace of the future, DC plans to celebrate every era of its storied history annually in 10-year increments, starting at the beginning. NYCC’s free 1940s-style Daily Planet newspaper, while prominently featuring art and ads from this first decade of publication, also delivers first looks at some of DC’s most anticipated titles releasing this year, as well as communicating DC’s panel schedule and events offered during NYCC 2025.
DC’s panels will give insight into the bracket-style event series DC K.O., will reveal DC’s upcoming Vertigo slate of comics, and more. While at NYCC, fans can look forward to engaging directly with their favorite creators by attending in-booth signings, including appearances by DC President, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee, the dynamic duo of Batman writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jiménez, DC K.O. event writer and co-architect Scott Snyder, and more.
Scheduled for Saturday, October 11 at 12:30 p.m. in Room 405, the Bat-Fam Sneak Peek Screening and Q&A (presented by Warner Bros. Animation & Prime Video) will feature executive producer and showrunner Mike Roth alongside surprise cast members for an in-depth look at this next animated iteration of the Caped Crusader, and to preview an episode of the new series. Bat-Fam follows the events of the hit film Merry Little Batman, focusing on Batman, Alfred and young Damian Wayne — who has now taken on the mantle of Little Batman — alongside a few newcomers to Wayne Manor, as they navigate the fun and frustrations of life as a super family.
