By Mulder, Anaheim, Convention center, 25 march 2023

Celebrate the union of DC’s Justice League and Rooster Teeth Animation’s RWBY as the two heroic factions join forces to battle an evil entity attacking Remnant at the world premiere of Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part One. In the all-new animated film, the Justice League faces off against a new horror: adolescence! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern, and Vixen are surprised to find that not only have they materialized in a strange world called Remnant, but they’ve also been transformed into teenagers. Meanwhile, the heroes of Remnant—Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang—find their world has been mysteriously altered. Can the combined forces of the Justice League and Team RWBY return Remnant to normal before a superpowered Grimm destroys everything they know? Enjoy the film, then settle in for an exciting panel discussion between the cast and filmmakers.
