Room 1AB
2:45-3:45 pm
Hanna Barbera Retrospective -- Take a look back at the lives and times of two of the greatest characters in the history of animation, Bill Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Former colleagues and friends examine the toon titans' nearly 70 years of creating some of the world's most beloved animated characters. Animation author/historian Tom Sito moderates a panel that includes longtime Hanna-Barbera director Andrea Romano, the renowned Gary Owens (Space Ghost), HANNA-BARBERA CARTOONS author Michael Mallory, plus Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone, the producer-director team of the upcoming TOM AND JERRY: A NUTCRACKER TALE, Joe Barbera's final animated project.

8:30-10:30 pm
SUPERMAN DOOMSDAY -- Superman is dead--or is he? All will be revealed at Comic-Con's world premiere of DC Comics, Warner Bros. Home Video and Warner Bros. Animation's SUPERMAN DOOMSDAY. It's the highly anticipated first DC Universe made-for-DVD release presented by Warner Premiere and produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Inspired by the best-selling graphic novel of all time, SUPERMAN DOOMSDAY is an epic tale of heroism and tragedy, sacrifice and redemption. The film is rated PG-13 for action violence. The voice cast is led by Adam Baldwin (SERENITY, CHUCK) as Superman, Anne Heche (MEN IN TREES) as Lois Lane, and James Marsters (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) as Lex Luthor. DC Comics' Gregory Novek will moderate the post-premiere panel that includes exec producer/director/writer Bruce Timm (JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED, BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES), directors Brandon Vietti (LEGION OF SUPER HEROES) and Lauren Montgomery (LEGION OF SUPER HEROES), writer Duane Capizzi (THE BATMAN) and members of the voice cast. And stay 'til the end -- there might just be a glimpse of future DC Universe films. An encore screening will follow directly after. Ballroom 20
