Where can you find the most
powerful and prominent Super Teens in the galaxy? Super Hero High of course! Wonder Woman, Supergirl,
Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Bumblebee, Poison Ivy and Katana band together to navigate
the twists and turns of high school in DC Super Hero Girls: Hero
of the Year. Produced
by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, the film will
be distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE) on August 9 on Digital
HD and August
23, 2016 on DVD (SRP $19.98).
These young Super Heroes discover unique abilities, develop powers,
and combat an abundance of overwhelming, exciting and awkward moments to master
the fundamentals of being a hero – one day at a time! The group includes:
·
Wonder Woman was raised on Themyscira, a
paradise island overflowing with female leaders. This natural born leader has
super strength, the power of flight and a magic lasso that forces anyone to
tell the truth.
·
Batgirl is crazy smart – she was accepted
to Super Hero High based on her brainpower alone (she wasn’t born with super
powers). But this crime-fighting sleuth may be the most influential of all! Her
unparalleled intellect, expert martial arts skills, photographic memory and
legendary detective skills are a formula for an incredible Super Hero.
·
Supergirl is the most powerful teen on
earth, but also incredibly clumsy. She has super strength, super hearing and
super speed but will need to be sure she doesn’t trip over her own two feet en
route to saving the world.
·
Harley Quinn is the resident class clown
who lives for jokes and over-the-top pranks. Nonetheless, this quick-witted
gymnast is sneaky and full of surprises.
·
Bumblebee has the ability to shrink, allowing
her to sneak around without being spotted. She makes sure her team is never
surprised by any villains or enemies up to no good.
·
Poison Ivy, got caught up in a botched
lab experiment, and now has the ability to control and summon plants. She’s
gradually adapting to her amazing new powers and blossoming into her new life.
·
Katana is an artist with an edge –
this fearless martial arts fashionista is up for any crime-fighting test and is
never without her sword.
Together, these seven
fearless Super Heroes prove that we all have the power to make the world a
better place - even while school is in session!
Girls around the world now
have their very own Super Hero world to play, watch, read and be inspired! To
further bring this all-new universe to life, DC Super Hero Girls animated shorts and TV specials will continue
to release over the next year, allowing girls 6-12 to continue reaching their
