JAKARTA, Indonesia, Nov. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new adventure begins as the world's greatest heroes gather together on Toonami, the country's most exciting action TV channel. Launching in Indonesia on December 1, Toonami is a 24-hour, high-octane ride, serving up animated hits like Young Justice, Dragon Ball Z and Batman: the Brave and the Bold to boys and girls alike. A socially-charged, multiplatform experience, Toonami is a superhero fantasy: a full tilt, over the top, roller-coaster ride of adventure, quips, drama and a whole lot more.

Packed with high-octane, top rating adventure series, Toonami is a dedicated destination for the ultimate action fans.

"With the launch of Toonami, Indonesian kids will have 24/7 access to the most electrifying entertainment available. For the first time anywhere in the world, viewers will be able to see the Spider-Man and the Hulk meet Iron Man and Goku on the same channel. It really is the ultimate home of the action hero," said Sunny Saha, Senior VP and Managing Director, Turner International Asia Pacific.

Toonami is a channel for the fans and by the fans - and the excitement extends beyond television, into the online and social media space.

To kick off Toonami's launch, budding science-fiction writers can play an active part in the channel's origins which centers on NAMI, an A.I. lifeform from the future. In December and January, fanboys and fangirls can pitch ideas as to how to complete NAMI's story.
