Earlier today, we shared with you our panel schedule for WonderCon.
 
This morning, we’ve got more exciting things to share with you lucky people who will be attending WonderCon this weekend. At the DC Entertainment booth, we’ll have three different green screen backgrounds for you to take your picture in front of. For the first time, you’ll be able to have your photo taken with Alfred E. Neuman. You’ll also get a chance to have a picture of you snapped in front of the artwork of industry legend Jim Lee, DC Entertainment Co-Publisher and the artist of the bestselling JUSTICE LEAGUE. But that’s not all!
 
The first green screen background for you to take a picture in front of will be a mural of JUSTICE LEAGUE characters by some of your favorite artists from DC COMICS-THE NEW 52. Stand front and center with:

• Aquaman (illustrated by Ardian Syaf)

• Batman (illustrated by Andy Kubert)
• Cyborg (illustrated by Gene Ha)
• The Flash (illustrated by Francis Manapul)
• Green Lantern (illustrated by Ivan Reis)
• Superman (illustrated by Jim Lee)
• Wonder Woman (illustrated by Adam Hughes)

The second green screen background to take your photo with is the image you’ve seen associated with the We Can Be Heroes campaign. Stand out in the Justice League against a silhouetted roster of the world’s greatest superheroes, as drawn by Jim Lee.
 
And if you’ve ever wanted to have your picture taken with MAD’s Alfred E. Neuman, now you finally have that chance. In the third green screen background, Alfred will be wearing his classic “I’m With Stupid” t-shirt and point to you! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to join the Usual Gang of Idiots over at MAD Magazine.
 
As always, you will be given physical print-outs of the photo as well as a unique digital redemption code so you can share the photos with family and friends and post them to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest and wherever else you desire.
