Confirmed:

-Knightfall Part 1 screening is on June 23.

-The preview of Mister Miracle, My Adventures with Green Lantern, Starfire!, Creature Commandos, Batman: Caped Crusader, DC Super Powers and more is on June 25.

Speculation:

So far we only know Batman: Knightfall is the only confirmed DC animation project being screened at Annecy Festival this June (21s6 to 27th). We don't know what panel Knightfall is but based on everything listed, likely WBA's Adult Animation Spotlight on June 26.

Speculation hat on, I think some other projects might get a shout out or we might get a surprise like Beast Boy: Lone Wolf announced. There's 3 other panels I think might mention a DC project:

-Warner Bros. Discovery Kids EMEA on June 23.

-Prime Video: Building the Future of Adult Animation on June 24.
--Maybe Batman: Caped Crusader season 2 will get a feature. Season 1 was previewed at a previous Annecy.

-Studio Spotlight: WBA, CNS, HBSE on June 24.

According to the same article, Annecy will host the world premiere screening of Batman: Knightfall Part 1: Knightfall (schedule to be announced).

From Warner Bros. Animation, DC Studios, and Warner Home Entertainment comes Batman: Knightfall, a multi-part animated event bringing to life one of the most iconic and beloved runs in the rich history of Batman comics. In Batman: Knightfall Part 1: Knightfall, when the mysterious behemoth known only as Bane frees Batman’s entire Rogue’s Gallery from Arkham Asylum, the Caped Crusader is pushed to his mental and physical breaking point. Based on characters from DC and the DC Comic Book Event, Batman: Knightfall by Doug Moench, Chuck Dixon, Alan Grant, Dennis O’Neil, Peter David, Jo Duffy, Jim Aparo, Graham Nolan, Norm Breyfogle and Jim Balent.

Technically Knightfall was announced last month. I was only posting some of the other titles confirmed for the festival this year.

"Warner Bros Annecy Lineup Confirms New DC And Adult Swim Cartoons"​

"Warner Bros Animation has announced what they plan to show at Annecy next month. The lineup is an even split between DC Studios projects and adult comedies for both WB platforms and other people’s. Some of these shows have never been revealed (to our knowledge), others have been anticipated for years.

The DC panel will be hosted by Peter Safran (Co-Chairman and Co-CEO, DC Studios) and Sam Register (President, Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe), and producers of the various shows: Tom King, Rick Morales, Jake Wyatt, Josie Campbell and Matt Beans. There will be a lot of talking and discussion, and maybe a few clips of shows in development, but attendees will also get to see the world premiere of Batman: Knightfall Part 1 in its entirety."

Yes, but previously the thinking was that Knightfall was just going to be previewed in a panel, not that it would get a full screening. That part is the news.

5/11: The article mentions Matt Beans will be one of the panelists so DC Super Powers is getting a preview, too. I'm surprised these all will be represented at Annecy. Things just got a lot more interesting. It's a pity this is more an industry convention so we won't be having any photos or teasers posted, it'll just be second-hand descriptions from those in attendance. Maybe WBA will issue press for Knightfall after Annecy with info like the release date.

5/22: Knightfall Part 1 screening is on June 23.

The preview of the various shows is on June 25.

6/21: A photo from Annecy gave some first looks at character designs but on further inspection it looks like we got at least 1 new announcement coming. On the far right, we got a Krypto that looks a heck of lot like C.H. Greenblatt's art style.

"Annecy 2026: Batman Caped Crusader And Knightfall Trilogy Keep The Dark Knight Busy"​

"Batman will have plenty to do in the near future, if Annecy is any indication. Dueling trailers have him starring in both Season 2 of Bruce Timm’s Batman: Caped Crusader and the first chapter of Batman: Knightfall, a planned trilogy of movies.

Caped Crusader is coming first, at the end of next month. The trailer starts with a familiar-looking bank blowing up and descends further into a Gotham falling apart, resonant with the rat-a-tat of tommy guns and fists flying everywhere. And the ringleader doesn’t appear to be the Joker we were promised at the end of Season One, but…the Riddler. He’s acting rather out of character, more into the direct approach of violent crime than that of striking silently, leaving clues and trails."

"Annecy 2026: More Bat-News — Absolute Batman And Joker Anime Announced"​

"Yesterday fresh trailers were sent out for Batman projects debuting in 2026: the Knightfall Trilogy and Caped Crusader Season Two. But the Bat-Train never stops, and WB is already hard at work on projects beyond. Today they revealed an animated show based on Absolute Batman and a Joker anime are now in production.

The Absolute Batman show is the least surprising news bite of the year if you know anything about the comic book business. The comic it’s going to be based on is the biggest hit DC has had in years. The first issue has gone over ten printings, and more recent issues are given second printings before their first even hit stores. The Absolute line overall has been a success for DC, but the Batman title is the current leader."
