History

Historical Context

In 2008 Warner Bros. and DC Comics turned Christopher Nolan’s *The Dark Knight* into a $1 billion global marketing push, aided by 42 Entertainment’s ARG that drew about 650,000 fans at Comic-Con and secured a $150 million Audi sponsorship. That model proved expansive cross-industry licensing could amplify franchise visibility, prompting today’s Supergirl partnership with American Airlines, KFC and others to target $100 million value across 80 partners.
