Batman Beyond: The Complete Series makes Warner Bros. a hero
Warner Bros. Animation has a rich history of bringing DC Comics super heroes to life via animation, and then to your homes via DVD collections. One of the more popular, if not cult-ish, toons that has since been neglected in a complete collection is Batman Beyond, the Future Knight version of the Batman mythos, created by Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League folks like Bruce Timm and Paul Dini. Now, WB unveils that they’re making everything right in the world, releasing Batman Beyond: The Complete Series, a nine-disc DVD set, on November 23rd, 2010. The package includes all 52 episodes, bonus features, and a 24-page booklet. Check out the box art! (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.

Now, rumor has it the next Batman story will be perhaps the most famous and best comic of them all, Frank Miller’s 1987 classic, Batman: Year One, with the floated date of September 27th, 2011, and directors Sam Liu and Lauren Montgomery.
