WonderCon 2016

WonderCon, the sister show to Comic-Con International, takes place this year from March 25-27 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, its first time in the City of Angels. Like the larger Comic-Con event, WonderCon embraces many of the same interests, including comics, movies, TV, animation, and more. The event has grown in all aspects over the years: more attendees, more exhibitors, more programming, and more fun. As usual the Warner Bros. family is well represented this year with five television shows, a variety of premiere screenings, and more.

Also, DC Entertainment’s expansive booth (#1602) will serve as the go-to location for fans to mingle with some of the best comic writers and artists in the business with a robust schedule of talent signings, in addition to swag giveaways celebrating DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH and the upcoming feature film, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Plus, the booth will feature an impressive collection of items from DC Collectibles and Warner Bros. Consumer Products, and a towering, working Bat Signal made entirely of LEGO bricks in an homage to the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie from acclaimed exhibition, THE ART OF THE BRICK: DC COMICS. Fans will also be tempted to shout, “Look! Up in the sky!” when they see the Superman LEGO sculpture soaring above the booth.

Here's the current schedule for WB-related events and screenings. You may want to bring your doppleganger to make sure you're able to hit them all!
