Superman,'' ``Batman'' and ``Taz'' Roar into Monster Jam Monster Truck Series; Superman Truck Makes its Competition Debut on January 8th at Atlanta's Georgia Dome
BURBANK, Calif.--Jan. 6, 2005--Warner Bros. Consumer Products announced today that they are teaming up with Clear Channel Entertainment and 4Kids Entertainment to feature custom-designed monster trucks in the upcoming Monster Jam(R) series. DC Comics' Super Heroes "Superman" and "Batman," as well as Warner Bros. Entertainment's "Tasmanian Devil" ("Taz") character, will join the Monster Jam(R) team beginning with the 2005 racing season.

These three new, brand-themed monster trucks will enter the Monster Jam(R) racing and freestyle line-up, where they will have the chance to smash the competition and earn a trip to the World Finals in March. The trucks are designed to bring some of the world's best-loved characters to Monster Jam(R) fans everywhere.

The "Superman" truck will make its competition debut at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on January 8, 2005. Atlanta native, Chad Fortune is scheduled to drive the truck. The "Batman" and "Taz" trucks will make their official debut at future events later in the year.

"Monster Jam(R) is a high-flying, live-action entertainment experience that brings together the speed, spills and thrills of motor sports in a family-friendly environment," said Jordan Sollitto, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. "Superman, Batman and Taz continuously entertain fans around the world. We are excited to team up with Monster Jam(R) and add our dynamic characters to one of motor sport's most action-packed franchises."

As part of its ongoing partnership with Monster Jam(R), Mattel, Inc. will introduce character-specific Monster Jam(R) toys at retail including toy trucks, radio control vehicles, puzzles and board games. Additional merchandise will be available onsite at live Monster Jam(R) arena events, as well as for purchase through the Internet.

"We are thrilled to introduce these characters to our live audience of over 4 million spectators and the millions of fans that regularly watch Monster Jam(R) on Speed Channel every week," said Charlie Mancuso, President of Clear Channel Entertainment -- Motor Sports. "In addition, the new "Superman", "Batman" and "Taz" Monster Jam(R) Race Teams will significantly broaden the appeal of the Monster Jam(R) toy line developed and distributed by Mattel's Hot Wheels brand. The activation of this program will offer endless cross promotional platforms in the future."

"We're pleased to bring these universally popular characters to the Monster Jam(R) circuit," said Alfred R. Kahn, Chairman and CEO of 4Kids Entertainment. "'Superman', 'Batman' and 'Taz' will add to the excitement of this entertaining and energetic brand, which draws millions of fans to its live events every year."

Monster Jam(R) events are rip-roarin' live stadium and arena events that blow the roof off traditional motor sports. Giant monster trucks compete in a thrilling, car-crushing frenzy. With their huge wheels, these 10,000-pound, 1,500-horsepower trucks cause maximum destruction, flying, flipping and flattening anything in their path to the delight of the spectators and fans of all ages.

Monster Jam(R) airs on the popular Speed Channel in primetime on Saturday nights.
