Kia And Comic Book Giant Join Forces To Make Superhero Cars

If you’ve ever fantasized about unleashing your inner superhero, now’s your chance to do it – behind the wheel, that is.  Kia Motors and comic book giant DC Entertainment have teamed up to make eight vehicles based on the superhero characters in the Justice League.  Even better, the net profits from the cars’ sales will go to the We Can Be Heroes fund helping to fight hunger in the Horn of Africa.   We Can Be Heroes is a non-profit founded by DC Entertainment. 

DC’s famed artist and co-publisher Jim Lee personally helped design the cars, which will be themed on eight of the Justice League superheroes, including Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Cyborg.  The eighth vehicle will be a tribute to all seven of the crime fighters.

“The Justice League reminds us that when we combine our efforts with others, we can create a world of change,” Amit Desai, SVP of DC Entertainment’s franchise management, said in a press release.

The first in the series of cars, the Batman, was unveiled this week at the New York City Comic-Con. The tricked out Kia Optima SX features a sleek black hunkered-down body, 20-inch wheels, a batwing-shaped grill and an under-panel of yellow LED lights, giving it an ethereal glow befitting the ride of the illustrious crime fighter.  But that’s not all – the Batman logo is etched into the HID headlights, the leather interior features more Batman insignia and your own personal Bat-suit and cowl is safety stored in the trunk so it’s handy when you need to spring into action.

Kia will use the Optima, Sorento, Soul, Sportage, Rio and Forte for the remainder of the vehicles, each with the colors and insignias of the individual superheroes. The cars will be unveiled at various comic-cons and auto shows over the next ten months.  After that, they’ll be auctioned off with the proceeds funneled into We Can Be Heroes.  

If snagging one of the iconic superhero cars is out of your budget, you might be able to afford one of the auxiliary items offered for sale, like a superhero license plate, emblem, or in-vehicle video display.
