variety.com That's entertainment Brilliant Digital recently inked a deal with Warner Bros. to provide programming for the Entertaindom site, including weekly episodes of its 3-D animated "Superman" series, in collaboration with DC Comics. The Warner-owned entertainment portal set to launch this month will feature weekly interactive original programming, including the magazine "Drive-On," similar to "Entertainment Tonight." Brilliant recently sold its weekly episodic serial "Gravity Angels" to Showtime. Its other Internet shows are produced with 3-D animation that resembles Pixar's "Toy Story" CGI work and include options where viewers may determine how the show's plot proceeds. Titles in production so far include "Xena: Warrior Princess" and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." "The traffic-building relationships are part of the game," says Brilliant's prexy Kevin Bermeister. "They (Warner Bros.) will get numbers we can only dream about. It's a whole new arena which puts your product on the map." In return, the studios get to expand their brands online. "The focus is on entertainment," says Jim Banister, executive veep at Warner Bros. Online, overseeing Entertaindom. "So far, the Internet has been about obtaining information. Entertaindom is a platform to showcase Internet-based entertainment properties that have a longer life for the studio on the Internet, allowing us to bridge into an entirely new area." Adds Graff: "It's a good thing. We're all looking for eyeballs. We go to the Net, because we get a lot of eyeballs."
