The trailer shows brief clips featuring stars like Gal Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman on the upcoming “Wonder Woman 1984” film, and Grant Gustin, whose take on the Flash has run on the CW since 2014. Its virtual stage was designed and drawn by comic-book artist Jim Lee.

The event’s run-time will be 24 hours, with the eight hours of content looping two more times. Hall of Heroes will not be available online after the event comes to an end. Viewers can access the events on both dates from a mobile device, laptop or desktop computer.
The Sept. 12 Explore the Multiverse event will offer access to five separate types of content, categorized into islands: WatchVerse, KidsVerse, InsiderVerse, FunVerse and YouVerse. The KidsVerse will also be offered on a separate website without access to the other four islands.
