We Can Be Heroes Exclusive First Look: Flash, Aquaman, And Cyborg Raise Money For Charity

If you haven’t been following DC’s We Can Be Heroes initiative, it’s pretty straightforward. Go to the crowdfunding page, contribute, and get both DC stuff and a warm, fuzzy feeling for putting some of your comic book money towards a positive charity. DC has been doing themed weeks built around the Justice League, and this week, it’s time for the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg to show what they can do. DC gave us an exclusive first look at the perks fans can get for donating to charity.

The money for this year’s initiative goes to Save the Children, International Rescue Committee and Mercy Corps., three charities actively working in Africa to deliver food, medicine, and other necessities to areas severely affected by hunger and medical need. It’s fairly simple: DC sets up a crowdfunding page, arranges for some perks, and you donate. Think of it as a Kickstarter, except the money won’t go to some hipster who will conveniently forget he promised you an iPhone wallet.

But what of the perks? Here’s what you can get, according to DC:
