Comic-Con 2018: 6 Ups And 3 Downs

2. That Epic Warner Bros. Panel

If any studio won Comic-Con, it was Warner Bros. With a number of their rivals sitting out the event, they had the whole Saturday to themselves, and rolled out all of their big guns.

Those in Hall H had exclusive looks at Wonder Woman 1984 and extended Aquaman footage, but made available online were trailers for Shazam!, Aquaman, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

While your mileage may vary with each one, they were at the very least all solid, and all did a great job of building hype for their respective movie. Aquaman showed off a stunning vision of Atlantis and a very fun performance from Jason Momoa, Godzilla had incredible cinematography and epic monster action, and Fantastic Beasts took the franchise much darker while still giving plenty of fan-service.
