SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE
WORLD PREMIERE
THIS FRIDAY AT WONDERCON

Superman vs. The Elite, the next entry in the popular, ongoing series
of DC Universe Animated Original Movies, will receive its World
Premiere as WonderCon’s featured evening event for Friday, March 16 in
Anaheim.

Produced by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation
and Warner Home Video, the all-new, PG-13 rated film will screen at
6:30 p.m. in the Anaheim Convention Center Ballroom. The screening
will be followed by a panel discussion amongst filmmakers and voice
cast members. Award-winning comics writer Joe Kelly and versatile
voice actor Robin Atkin Downes (Justice League: Doom) are among the
confirmed panelists for Friday. Additional panelists will be announced
as they are confirmed.

Kelly has adapted the story from his original 2001 DC Comics release,
“What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?” into the
taut, thrilling screenplay for Superman vs. The Elite. The
single-issue comic, Action Comics #775, was lauded by Wizard Magazine
as the “Greatest Superman Story of All Time,” and ranked the epic tale
at No. 21 on its list of the “Top 100 Comics of the last 30 years.”

In Superman vs. The Elite, Superman's effectiveness as a super hero
comes into question when a new group of super powerful crusaders,
known as "The Elite," appear on the scene. As super heroes, the Elite
know no bounds, and are more than willing to kill, even on a massive
scale, to stop villainy -- putting them on a collision course with the
ever-ethical, yet preferably non-lethal Man of Steel.

George Newbern (Father of the Bride) reprises his Justice League
animated television role as Superman, and primetime television star
Pauley Perrette (NCIS) provides the voice of Lois Lane. Downes steps
in as Manchester Black, leader of The Elite. David Kaufman (Justice
League: Doom) also reprises his Justice League TV series role as Jimmy
Olsen.

The film is directed by Michael Chang (Batman: Brave and the Bold).
Bruce Timm (Batman: Year One) is executive producer, and Alan Burnett
(Green Lantern: Emerald Knights) is producer.

In addition to the screening and panel, Warner Home Video and DC
Entertainment will co-present an autograph signing session with
Superman vs. The Elite panelists on Saturday, March 17 from
11:00am-Noon in the DC Booth at WonderCon.
