“Activations” — immersive experiences that put fans in the world of their favorite movies and TV shows — are all the rage at Comic-Con and other pop culture confabs these days. For both die-hards demanding more than collectors editions and the brands trying to capture their attention, these interactive pop-ups are still novel enough to stand out from rows of booths, special screenings and crowded panels. Whether you’re in San Diego for Comic-Con 2019 or yearning to be, follow along as the Times gives you a guided tour of fan activations for everything from “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” to “The Dark Knight.”
