DC Comics' most beloved Super Heroes await a digital adventure this holiday season with the brand-new story, “DC Super Friends: Race to Save Christmas,” debuting exclusively on the App Store.
In “DC Super Friends: Race to Save Christmas,” Santa is the guest of honor at the DC Super Friends' holiday party – but he’s running late to the event. When Superman and The Flash decide to investigate, they realize that Santa is missing, and the race to save Christmas is on!
“We are thrilled to have created the first DC Super Friends interactive book app just in time for the holidays,” said Karen McTier, Executive Vice President, Domestic Licensing and Worldwide Marketing, Warner Bros.
