Warner Premiere’s DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection hits DVD and Blu-ray
Warner Premiere has been spitting out some awesome toons over the past few years, offering brand new tales from the DC Comics’ DC Universe in animated form. Batman, Superman, Justice League, Wonder Woman… many of the company’s “big guns” have had the spotlight head their way. As a nice little bonus, many of these discs included brief little vignettes on some of the lesser known DC All-Stars. Now, Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation, and Warner Home Video will release a DVD and Blu-ray package that collections them all, dubbed the DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection. In addition to extended versions of the already released shorts like The Spectre, Jonah Hex, and Green Arrow, the package, due out November 9th, will include the brand new Superman/Shazam! The Return of Black Adam. Sign me up! (more… )

Warner Premiere to revisit the DC Comics classic Batman: Year One
DC Comics and Warner Premiere have partnered again and again on bringing the DC Universe to life through amazing animated DVDs and Blu-ray discs. We’ve been treated to stories about Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the Justice League, to name a few, but it’s Batman and the top-ranking popularity of the Dark Knight that have earned the most nods, including the recent Batman: Under the Red Hood.
