Star-Crossed: Exclusive Screening and Panel Discussion
It’s a war of the worlds when an epic Romeo and Juliet romance ignites between a human girl and an alien boy, as he and others of his kind (Atrians) are integrated into a suburban high school after being banished for ten years. As this romance causes a violent encounter between their two families, can this couple’s love-and peace between the species-survive? Join the cast of this spring’s steamiest new drama, Star-Crossed, for an exclusive screening of a never-before-seen episode and a panel discussion with Matt Lanter (90210, Star Wars: The Clone Wars), Aimee Teegarden (Friday Night Lights), Grey Damon (Secret Circle, Nine Lives of Chloe King), Malese Jow (Vampire Diaries), Greg Finley, Titus Makin Jr., Chelsea Gilligan, and Victoria Platt, along with executive producers Adele Lim (One Tree Hill) and Meredith Averill (The Good Wife), for a first look at a futuristic story of forbidden love, Star-Crossed, from The CW network.

WB Presentation
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, DC Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Animation present the World Premiere of Son of Batman, the landmark 20th entry in the ongoing series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies. In the film, Batman learns he has a son, Damian-and to further complicate matters, the mother is Talia al Ghul, daughter of one of Batman’s most dreaded enemies, Ra’s al Ghul. When the odds quickly turn against Batman and Damian, Batman must become both father and mentor to the aggressive, agile new Robin. Together they form an uneasy alliance to try and thwart the criminal enterprise of Deathstroke and his army of ninja man-bats before there are international consequences. Be among the first to see this new film, then stay for a star-studded panel led by the voice of Batman, Jason O’Mara (Terra Nova, Life on Mars), producer James Tucker (Justice League: War), director Ethan Spaulding (The Simpsons, Avatar: The Last Airbender), dialogue director Andrea Romano (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns), character designer Phil Bourassa (Justice League: War), and some special guests. Based on Grant Morrison’s famed DC storyline, Son of Batman arrives May 6 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD.
