SAN DIEGO (AP) — Here’s the latest from the Comic-Con International fan festival Saturday in and around the San Diego Convention Center (all times Pacific):

The showroom floor isn’t the only place to acquire exclusive art pieces at Comic-Con this year.
Documentarian Morgan Spurlock, along with Gotham Chopra and Kevin Smith, launched “Geeks for Peace” late Friday, a fund-raising party that included an auction of more than 25 one-of-a-kind paintings and sculptures.
The event benefits Kids for Peace, a nonprofit that encourages young people to respect others and serve as worldwide advocates for peace.
Red superhero capes, each emblazoned with a big, white peace symbol, were also for sale.
Spurlock plans to make Geeks for Peace an annual event.
“Next year will be even bigger, even better,” he said.

Nighttime at Comic-Con is a study in randomness. The parties all boast red carpets, step and repeats, and long lines, but what you find inside isn’t usually standard fare.
On one end of the Gaslamp District, Elijah Wood was disc jockey on a diverse set of house music and ’80s fare for the crowd at Mashable’s MashBash party. Instead of tiny passed hors d’oeuvres, servers walked around with full pizza boxes as guests danced, ate, chatted and applied temporary tattoos.
A few blocks away, “Arrow” star Stephen Amell braved the crowds and scantily clad women at the boisterous Playboy party. Clips from the film “Self/less” played on the screens, while women in skintight dresses danced to the pulsating music amid the flashing blue and purple lights.

Zack Snyder knows how to pick a car. The “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” director drove through the streets of the Gaslamp District at Comic-Con early Saturday morning in the Batmobile.
Snyder also stepped out of the hulking superhero car and tossed T-shirts to the many fans planning to spend the night camping outside of the convention center.
He’ll be taking the Hall H stage in a few hours to preview the film starring Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill.
“Batman v Superman” hits theaters in March.
