“At Cartamundi, we are dedicated to crafting playful products that will resonate with diverse communities,” says Tricia Bouras, Cartamundi Global Entertainment President, and CEO and President of the United States Playing Card Company of Cartamundi Entertainment. “The DC fandom is thriving, and this set was crafted with them in mind.”
This 21-card collection features the Cartamundi brand’s newest innovation: the Mega Card, which represents the first time a physical Hro card will unlock a new digital collection. Once the Mega Card is scanned into the Hro mobile app, collectors will be able to redeem it for an all-new “Dawn of DC”: Titans Digital Pack, extending the collecting experience beyond just that initial hybrid pack opening and creating an outlet for even deeper immersion into the DC Multiverse with crafting opportunities and additional Rewards at stake.

How to Join the Hro Community
DC Hybrid Trading Cards by Hro allow fans to collect designs showcasing iconic art from DC’s comic book history, including fan-favorite characters like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and so many more. On the back of each physical trading card is a QR code that connects it to its digital “twin” on the Hro mobile app, which is validated and backed up by the security of blockchain technology. Once the physical and digital twins are linked, the Hro app and web platform then give buyers access to a global marketplace to buy, sell, and trade their way to a complete collection. This innovative model also plays host to a 360° fan engagement platform where users can compete to uncover the rarest cards, rise to the top of community leaderboards, and unlock the chance to win special rewards.
