Plan for what, you might ask? Why, to see and perhaps ask questions of the stars of both shows, of course. Warner Bros. TV revealed its WonderCon plans today, and there’s something of interest for DC TV fans on all three days of the show.
Friday, April 3 has a special block of screenings set aside for episodes of The Flash, Gotham, iZOMBIE and Teen Titans Go! On the weekend, it’s time for panels. For specifics, here’s what you can expect for Gotham on Saturday, April 4, including appearances from the actors who play Jim Gordon, Harvey Bullock and Oswald “The Penguin” Cobblepot:
"3:45–4:45 p.m. Gotham Special Video Presentation and Q&A — Before there was Batman, there was Gotham. The origin story of the great DC Super-Villains and vigilantes has only just begun. Join Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Robin Lord Taylor and executive producer John Stephens for a Q&A discussion and special video presentation, and be among the first to find out what’s in store for the exciting conclusion of the first season. Gotham follows Jim Gordon’s rise through the Gotham City police department and the spawning ground of the world’s most iconic villains."
On Sunday, April 5, The Flash gets its turn in the spotlight. And while the Fastest Man Alive, Grant Gustin, won’t be there, the panel has some lovely consolation prizes in the form of Iris West and Caitlin Snow — as well as Cisco Ramon and the series’ executive producers:
"1:30–2:30 p.m. The Flash Special Video Presentation and Q&A — The Flash is a fast-paced super hero drama that follows the high-speed adventures of the Fastest Man Alive. After the unexpected and devastating explosion of the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator, Central City Police Department CSI Barry Allen finds himself suddenly charged with the incredible power to move at super speeds. While Barry has always been a hero in his soul, his newfound powers have finally given him the ability to act like one. However, Barry was not the only one affected that fateful night, and there is now a rash of super-powered villains popping up all over Central City. With the help of his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs and foster-father, Detective Joe West, Barry works to keep his city safe from these “metahumans,” while at the same time working to uncover the secrets of and defeat his arch-nemesis, The Man in Yellow, who is responsible for the death of his mother and wrongful imprisonment of his father. Join Danielle Panabaker, Candice Patton, Carlos Valdes, along with executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg for a special video presentation and Q&A."
Both panels are in the Arena, so be sure to set some time aside now to wait in line. Oh, and to attend too, I guess.
