Yesterday at DC FanDome we got to see a slew of new trailers for games, TV shows, and movies; the biggest of course was the latest trailer for The Batman, with the Black Adam teaser a close second. Plenty of non-superhero trailers this week as well, including a new teaser for The Tragedy of Macbeth, a new season for _Narcos: Mexico,_another peek at _Hawkeye,_a time-traveling flick with a corny name, and a look at the “new” Beatles documentary.
