>> John Sibal: I do trust my crew, but there are still a lot of things that we need to
make sure we need to address. Im just hoping that we get it done.

>> John Sibal: I think going from the digital design to the actual finished product is an
adventure in it's own. As a designer I have to really control myself
from going to too far. So that way, once youre in the car, you know it's a Green Lantern
car.
On this car, what we did was find the right balance too come up with a way to integrate
all the trademark features of the Green Lantern. Strategically placing color elements from
the character into the car itself, Starting from the headlight we created this
mask shape which reflects exactly how the Green Lantern looks with his mask on.
Also using his logo, we incorporated it into the wheels of the car.
So some of the challenges we have to overcome with this build is executing the car the right
way Because it demands a lot of custom fabrication.
The wheels, the whole set-up in the back, everything needs to be hand shaped what we
wanted to do is design something that when people look at it they actually dig it.
>> Jim Lee: Hi this is Jim Lee, Im a comic book artist and a copublisher of DC entertainment
and we are at the KIA booth here at SEMA 2012 in Las Vegas.
We actually just debuted 4 cars plus the Batman car that was already revealed.
We added Cyborg, Green Lantern, Flash and Aquaman and so we have 5 of the 7 Justice
League cars here. Each of the hero's are awesome but when they
come together and from the Justice League they are more powerful and more respected
because of it.
>>Michael Sprague: Hi im Michael Spraig, Vice President of Marketing and Communications
for KIA motors America. Each one of these vehicles are so cool and
it's a fantastic partnership with DC Entertainment.
[Narrator] This Soul features a two-tone green and black
paint job with green chrome tint on each window, wide body fender flares and a lowered stance
gives this Soul the look of a serious crime fighter.
Even the projector beams and fog lights glow with green energy
We fused the rear two doors of this Soul shut so that the interior can house the Green Lantern
power battery on a custom built deck. Both unique and edgy the Soul and the Green
Lantern make a good match for the KIA and DC Entertainment partnership.
>>Jim Lee: When you start talking about the hunger crisis on the horn of Africa, and you
see how huge of a problem that is. It's not something that can be solved by one
continent or one government. Its something that the whole world has to sort of come together
help solve and fix and to me that's very much in the spirit of the Justice League.
