and Harley Quinn
JULY
21 AT COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL
BURBANK, CA (JUNE
19, 2017) – Celebrating
a decade of DC
Universe
Original Movie world premieres in San Diego, Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment (WBHE) will once again give fans their first look at an
all-new animated feature with the presentation of Batman
and Harley Quinn on
the Friday night (July 21, 2017) of Comic-Con International.
Since
the debut of the DC
Universe
Original Movies in 2007 with Superman:
Doomsday,
WBHE has premiered its next-to-be-released film (when available)
before 4,250 ardent fans in the San Diego Convention Center’s
massive Ballroom 20.
In
Batman
and Harley Quinn,
Poison Ivy and Jason Woodrue (a.k.a. The Floronic Man) embark on an
ecological quest to save the planet – and, unfortunately, eliminate
most of humankind along the way. To save humanity, Batman and
Nightwing are forced to enlist Harley Quinn to catch Poison Ivy,
Harley’s BFF and frequent partner-in-crime. But Batman’s patience
is put to the test by the unpredictable and untrustworthy Harley
during the twists and turns the reluctant companions face during
their bumpy road trip. The result is a thrill ride of action,
adventure and comedy no Batman fan has seen before.
The
world premiere of Batman
and Harley Quinn
will include a post-screening panel discussion among available
members of the core cast and filmmaking team. The latest DC animated
film features a stellar voice cast led by Kevin Conroy (Batman:
The Animated Series)
reprising his role as the Dark Knight, alongside Melissa Rauch (The
Big Bang Theory) making
her debut as the irrepressible Harley Quinn. Loren Lester, the voice
of Robin in Batman:
The Animated Series,
returns as Nightwing. Paget Brewster (Criminal
Minds)
and Kevin Michael Richardson (The
Cleveland Show)
provide the voices of the villainous duo Poison Ivy & Jason
Woodrue, respectively.
