Hopefully this is the right place to ask... but do we know if WB will release a regular jewel case version like they did with BTAS?

No, there won't be a non-deluxe edition for this release. There will be just one kind, the set that comes out next week.

WHAT!? Really? That's dissapointing. But I did see this on blu-ray.com....

Batman Beyond Blu-ray

Are you sure ? EDIT: Just saw that tweet, Gary was just replying to someone asking if there was a regular version available, presumably at the moment. He must have replied ''no'', truthfully, but wanting everyone to get the limited edition now. It makes no sense to have the limited edition being the only edition.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Gary is in the business of selling. I wouldn't always take his word as gospel in these matters.

The 'Vanilla Edition' is rumoured for December. We'll just have to wait and see if it comes to pass.

 

[Yojimbo]

Now that you bring up that page, no, I'm not 100% sure. We'll see. But is there a chance that's just an overseas release? And Gary again said there isn't one in the plans.

 

[Dusty]

Dern. I waited for the vanilla BTAS release as the price was MUCH easier to swallow, plus I can’t stand the book/foldout type cases. I guess I could just create my own like I did Justice League. But I’ll wait for a Walmart, Target, or Best Buy sale Of this for hopefully $60-70.

 

[Spider-Man]

Didn't they say the same last year with Batman: TAS? I think it's safe to say that one version is coming. Blu-ray.com even has cover art for it: Batman Beyond Blu-ray

I assume WB will do what they did with Batman: TAS and release one sometime in late November and they will not confirm it until the day is comes out. I bet we'll see listings on retailer sites soon.

 

[Dusty]

I’m so impatient. I skipped the BTAS set as the price was really steep at the time. I want to wait for a regular jewel case set of this... but I do fear this may not sell as well as BTAS so we may not get that for a long while. I also have a Best Buy coupon I can use and can get this for about the price I got the jewel case BTAS set.... dernit what should I do? ‍♂

A comparison clip from Batman Beyond: The Complete Series showcasing the HD remaster was released by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. It is available to view at The World's Finest.

 

[-batmat-]

Colors seem a bit off on the remastered side. I'm cautious about this.

 

[Dusty]

Colors seem a bit off on the remastered side. I'm cautious about this.

That’s because when they were animated they were using cel animation cell color... that’s why they were warmer colors when they switched to doing digital coloring in season two

 

[Yojimbo]

I'm about 4 episodes in, and the differences - especially the brightness/darkness of the colors is noticeable. Definitely an improvement. Though of course, you can tell the sets/props are painted in the old school way. The new color tone definitely reminded of the later seasons but I haven't yet watched the season two and on material but that should be another comparison test.

 

[Dusty]

I bought this, but I’m still on the fence about opening it. I made a custom cover for justice League season one set and it’s so much cooler than the one WB made, so I guess I could do the same here and then just have the collectible stuff in my giant memorabilia closet. lol
They might do a vanilla release, but it’ll only be 5-$10 bucks less most likely.
hmmm

When will the standard edition of Batman Beyond: The Complete Series on Blu-Ray be released and be available to order?

What do you think of the collection?

 

[Dusty]

When will the standard edition of Batman Beyond: The Complete Series on Blu-Ray be released and be available to order?

I asked the same thing... nobody except WBA knows. It’s silly they don’t offer both versions, but “eh” I guess.
I have had my copy unopened since release (I have a 45 day return policy.) So I was waiting to see if they’d announce a vanilla release or if I’d have time to just make my own jewel case covers.
I may open it this week, I’m not sure.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Amazon UK are now listing Batman Beyond - The Complete Series (Regular Edition) for £60. Frankly, it's not that much cheaper than the deluxe at £70, but the packaging is nicer, I think.

The Deluxe Edition is already OOP over here in the UK (WB never seems to realise how popular these shows are). US fans on the fence may want to hold off a little while longer if Funkos and art cards aren't your thing, as I'm sure the regular edition is coming soon as well (No matter what Gary says).

 

[Yojimbo]

If you're in the US and plan to just get this Region Free set from Amazon UK, I would just caution you if you never bought a Region Free Blu-ray before - be aware there's a still possibility your player still won't play it. For example, in the past, I've had issues with a Samsung player not working but a standard, no frills Sony player working.
