One of the largest conventions that were created thanks to the pandemic is DC FanDome, a virtual convention that dives into the world of DC Comics, and this year is looking to increase the stake by further exploring the upcoming DC projects by Warner Bros Entertainment. These projects include Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, The Batman, Shazam Fury Of The Gods, The Flash, Black Adam. They are to be featured in this digital convention. Cartoon Network's Toonami is also looking to celebrate the event by playing two of the best Batman animated movies that were released.

To celebrate the upcoming digital convention, Toonami is planning to air both Batman: Ninja and Batman: Under The Red Hood, two of the largest animated Batman movies to be released following the Dark Knight in two different scenarios. The latter movie follows Batman fighting against the mysterious Red Hood who is connected to Bruce Wayne's traumatic past as Gotham's protector, with the former movie being a lot less serious by flinging the beloved dark knight into feudalistic Japan and re-imagining both Batman and his rogues' gallery. The DC FanDome event is sure to have a lot of reveals that will relate to the world of Gotham City and its protector.

The co-creator of Toonami, Jason DeMarco, recently confirmed in a tweet that the two Batman animated movies will be shown on October 16th to coincide with DC's FanDome event, picking two movies that show two different sides of Batman with animation styles that differ each other.

Toonami is mostly known for its anime series that helped introduce the views in North America, but it has also dived into the world of DC Animation quite a few times before. Airing shows like Justice League, Batman The Animated Series, Superman, and a lot more. It's not a surprise to see that the programming block of Cartoon Network would once again be diving into Warner Bros Animation's collection to help coincide with the FanDome convention.
