September 7, 2000

Infogrames Entertainment, DC Comics, and Warner Bros. Consumer Products have come to a worldwide agreement, which was announced Monday at London's European Computer Trade Show and gives Infogrames the rights to feature the "Man of Steel" in an extensive program of games for all leading interactive gaming platforms.

"Superman's appeal bridges the generations and it's exciting to be creating a line of video games for fans of all ages," said Dorothy Crouch, vice president of Licensed Publishing for DC Comics. "The scope of this license is huge and it's only fitting for the world's pre-eminent super hero."

"Infogrames, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Consumer Products will work together to make sure that every aspect of the Superman games captures the imagination of the gaming public," said Kerri Orders, vice president, Infogrames Europe. "The exciting range of Superman's powers, the richness of his supporting cast, his colorful rogues gallery and his entire universe give us incredible material to draw upon. We intend to use this material to create epic adventures for the Man of Steel that will leave gamers in awe."

"This agreement is another exciting step in what has been a very successful relationship between Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Infogrames," said Michael Harkavy, vice president of Worldwide Publishing, Kids' WB! Music and Interactive for Warner Bros. Consumer Products. "Beginning with the success of games based on the Looney Tunes and Wacky Races properties, our partnership is taking on super hero proportions and the sky is the limit."

"Superman is an inspiration for people around the world, representing the fight for truth and justice and symbolizing the unlimited power of humanity to achieve the impossible," said Orders. "He is a timeless, classic hero for men, women, boys and girls. With his phenomenal abilities, he is the perfect video game hero."
