Comic Con 2016 marked the first public appearance of Henry Cavill as Superman in his iconic suit. Fans went wild as the Man of Steel himself posed for photos and discussed his role in the upcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
Wonder Woman's Origin Story
Before Gal Gadot became a household name, she was just a Wonder Woman in training. At Comic Con 2016, Gadot and director Patty Jenkins treated fans to an exclusive sneak peek of the then-upcoming "Wonder Woman" film. They also shared insightful behind-the-scenes stories that had everyone on the edge of their seats.

Panels That Packed a Punch
Comic Con 2016 was all about the panels. Here are a few that left fans buzzing:
The Walking Dead
Comic Con 2016 wouldn't be complete without a panel from the undead phenomenon, The Walking Dead. Showrunner Scott Gimple and cast members teased the then-upcoming seventh season, leaving fans with more questions than answers (as per usual).
Game of Thrones
In a panel that was as epic as the show itself, the cast and crew of Game of Thrones gathered to discuss the then-recent season six. Spoilers were had, and fans were left in awe (and perhaps a little shaken).
Westworld
Before it became a cultural phenomenon, Westworld had its first-ever Comic Con panel in 2016. Creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, along with cast members, shared their vision for the mind-bending sci-fi series.
