One of the country’s most anticipated pop culture events is right around the corner: New York Comic Con. Taking place Oct. 5-7, it will showcase the best and brightest of today’s comics, graphic novels, films, and more, and DIRECTV will be right there with you celebrating everything Warner Bros. has to offer, as well as the upcoming release of Justice League. But you don’t need to wait in line to get exclusive entertainment access — this site will be bringing simultaneous access to never-before-seen content, including Justice League previews and behind-the-scenes peeks.
Do you cosplay? We’ll be sharing live photos of the best costumes here, and we’ll be keeping an eye out for Lois Lane and Wonder Woman at the Times Square AT&T store, where we’ll be showcasing the official Justice League props and costumes — along with a certain special set of wheels belonging to Batman. Fans of the Justice League in town for Comic Con should keep these events in mind as well:
Come for the superheroes, and stay for the selfies when Times Square becomes home to the Dark Knight’s Batmobile and Bruce Wayne’s Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo. A chance to see the Batmobile with your very own eyes? Pics or it didn’t happen. Stop by the store during open hours until October 8.
