At Comic-Con International in San Diego, pretty much any old thing becomes a coveted prize; freebies that most would normally consider an annoyance — buttons, stickers, mini-posters — for four days are seen as objects of unparalleled desire. Some are actually useful, though, like bags. As weird as it is to see people line up for, um, bags, it’s definitely helpful to have as sturdy of a sack as possible to cart your new acquisitions around the exhibit floor. In the past, Manga publisher Viz attracted so many people with their freebie totes that they had to start rationing them out at scheduled increments, and recently the large Warner Bros. canvas numbers, distributed at their booth, have become popular enough that some attendees fashioned outfits out of them.
Well, you might wanna get ready to see a whole lot more bag muumuus, as Warner Bros. Entertainment announced today that everyone attending Comic-Con is going to get one of 11 Warner Bros. bags, each showing off one of their properties, at check-in.
And hey, look at that, one of them even is promoting a DC comic book, Brightest Day! The others? A Batman: The Brave and the Bold video game, the new Looney Tunes Show, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, the DVD release of Clash of the Titans and the following live-action TV shows: The Big Bang Theory, Chuck, Fringe, Human Target, Nikita and The Vampire Diaries. Check ‘em all out after the jump, except for Human Target, which was mysteriously left off of DC’s official release — keeping that bag under wraps for now, I guess. (more…)
