DC had a lot planned for the year 2020. But unfortunately, the year only had tragedy in store for the world: COVID-19. As a result, the media entertainment company had to re-do its calendar and postpone all the DC movies and shows to 2021 to keep the audience away from harm’s way.
As the world embarks on the path to recovery with an effective vaccine, DC is striving to regain its strength by actively gearing up in the new year with films and shows. The audience is equally excited for the upcoming DC movies and TV series in 2021.
