It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! Nope, It’s Another Superhero-themed Kia Optima!

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! Nope, It’s Another Superhero-themed Kia Optima! Kia made an impression at last year’s SEMA show (open the week of Halloween) with one-off Justice League-themed vehicles including a Batman-themed Kia Optima. For Kia, Halloween isn’t over yet – the automaker has just released a sneak peek at the latest Justice League-themed car, the Superman Optima Hybrid.

The Superman Optima Hybrid joins a Kia-fied Justice League consisting of the Batman Optima, Aquaman Rio hatch, Cyborg Forte hatch, Flash Forte Koup, and the Green Lantern Soul. The teaser of the Superman Optima Hybrid shows Kia’s stylish four-door wearing Superman’s signature blue, red, and yellow, with a proud Superman shield painted on the hood. Other Man of Steel touches include a custom grille with Superman’s shield, red accents, and red-tinted headlights.
While some may feel the Justice League Kias are getting a bit played out, they all benefit a good cause – each custom Kia is built in support of DC Entertainment’s “We Can Be Heroes” charity, which helps families affect by drought and famine in the Horn of Africa. The Kia Superman Optima Hybrid will debut on February 7 at the Chicago auto show.
