DC Comics Animation - Physical/Digital Media News & Discussion Thread, Part 20 (Spoilers)

[James Harvey]

Small update! Superman: The Complete Animated Series Blu-ray release has been pushed to Oct. 26, 2021 due to slight production delays (ie: the result of the ongoing pandemic). Stay tuned for further updates.

 

[Spider-Man]

Does this mean the digital HD version is also delayed?

That is correct. In the press release I received, it indicated both the Blu-ray and HD Digital release was moved to October 26.

I wish we could find out why the extras and commentaries are missing….

10/8: A head's up from @James Harvey, it appears the S:TAS HD episodes are available for purchase on iTunes.

10/28: Back cover of the Year One 10th anniversary release.

So were there later DVD releases of the DCAU that omitted the commentaries? How does one tell them apart? I checked out some of the old DVD versions from a local library to see what commentaries were omitted from the STAS Blus, and the commentaries were MIA!

Later releases? You mean the STAS complete series DVD set? I think that one has all the extras.

The S:TAS blu-ray omits commentaries for "Tools of the Trade," "Brave New Metropolis," "World's Finest Part 1," "Apokolips...Now! Part 2," "New Kids in Town," and "Legacy Part 2," along with the "Apokolips...Now! Part 1" easter egg commentary and "Superman: Behind the Cape" featurette from Superman: The Animated Series - Volume Three DVD set.

Okay, so have they given an explanation on the reason for the omitted commentaries?

No, and I wouldn't hold my breathe they will.

“Forget you, that’s why” would be my guess. I wish I could just download them or something .

Well, I still own the original dvd's, so I'm not in a giant rush.

The whole point of this set was to finally be able to sell the old ones!

Only sell if it is properly replaced. As you can see, it hasn't.

The Batman is coming to Blu-Ray.

 

[James Harvey]

It's been announced! Warner Bros Home Entertainment has announced The Batman: The Complete Series is coming to Blu-ray starting February 1, 2022. Click here or the image below for details!

[Dallas Kinard]

FINALLY!!!!! I've been asking for this for years!

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Wonderful news... The Batman was in desperate need of a remaster, although I am surprised WBHE are handling it and not Warner Archive. Either way, it's long overdue and a very pleasant surprise.

Great looking cover as well. Simple and direct.

 

[Spider-Man]

Glad to see this announced! Based on the press release, The Batman vs Dracula doesn't seem to be included? I wonder if it'll get its own Blu-ray release?

 

[-batmat-]

Great news! I hadn't had time to watch the show in widescreen and HD like it is on HBO Max, and I hope I will be able to get this blu-ray!!

As "Spider-Man" said, it would have been nice to have TBvsD included, but oh well! This is wonderful!

No, they just want us to have something to complain about with each Blu-ray set release.
