BURBANK,
CA (June 9, 2016) – 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!
