Welcome back to the Justice PH Blog, and what a year 2014 will be indeed!
It's going to be a big year for fans of
DC Comics and the
Justice League, as
Pacific Licensing Studio teams up with
The SM Store to bring a new wave of accessories and merchandise based on
"The New 52" versions of the world's greatest superheroes with the new storewide program called
"Justice League: Heroes United At SM"!
Invited to the press event itself that was held last weekend Sunday, March 30 at the
SM MegaTrade Conference Hall at the
SM Megamall, representatives of
Justice PH included myself
Timzster/ Batman, and teammates
Glen/ The Flash and
Green Lanterns Caz/ John Stewart and
Paolo/ Hal Jordan, as well as our young stalwart members of
Young Justice Titans PH in the form of
Din/ Wonder Girl, Carla/ Black Bat, and
Gelo/ Nightwing. The team was invited along with members of the media to witness the launch of the new marketing initiative, which sees several SM stores and branches nationwide offering new products and fixtures based on the recently rebooted "New 52" DC Universe, which features new costumes and character designs for iconic heroes such as
Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and
Cyborg.
In addition to bringing licensed material featuring keyart and designs in the form of shirts and accessories, the "Justice League: Heroes United at SM" initiative aims to distribute other forms of merchandise which includes footwear, bags, apparel, and even housewears. There were a couple of sample products in display as well during the event, showcasing what customers and fans can expect by visiting their nearest SM Store.
In addition to announcing their plans, PLS also teased that plans to celebrate
Batman's 75th Anniversary this year were underway. While no official plans could be revealed, the company has stated that

Also, a Q & A session took place, giving the media and fans clarification on certain concepts that will appear with "Justice League: Heroes United at SM" promotion, as well as hope for other products based on other DC properties to appear as well, including the live-action superhero TV Series
"Arrow", and the kid superhero team sensation animated series

And of course, the heroes of Justice PH had to pose accordingly with the standees and boards featuring the heroes of the Justice League themselves!
