Warner Bros. has released information on the upcoming Batman DVD releases, including Sub-Zero, World's Finest, Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League, and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker - The Original Cut. These DVDs will all hit on April 23rd and set you back $19.99 each (although Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker - The Original Cut is expected to cost more). All the DVDs, except for Justice League, are expected to be full frame. Here it is:

<img src="http://www.toonzone.net/dvd/images/t-sub-zero.jpg" align="right"><li>Batman & Mr. Freeze: Subzero explodes into animated action when the villainous Mr. Freeze kidnaps Batgirl. Now, racing the clock, Batman and Robin face off against Mr. Freeze in the iciest showdown of the century.

The DVD comes with the film as well as the "Hunt for Mr. Freeze" game, an original music montage, a featurette on how to draw Batman, an introduction by producer Bruce Timm and a trailer.


<img src="http://www.toonzone.net/dvd/images/t-bsmovie.jpg" align="left"><li>The Batman/Superman Movie begins when the Joker elicits the help of Lex Luthor in a new fiendish scheme. Only the combined superpowers of Batman and Superman can save Metropolis. Will the Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader be able to foil the plot of this diabolical duo? Not if the superheroes' alter egos clash as they vie for the attention of the self-reliant Lois. The "movie" is comprised of three episodes of Superman: The Animated Series.

The disc will contain similar features to "Subzero" including The Joker's Challenge game, introduction by Bruce Timm, original music montage and how to draw Batman featurette.


<li>Batman: The Animated Series - The Legend Begins goes back to the beginning of the franchise with five episodes of the original television series which premiered in 1992. Many fans of the show will be relieved to hear that the episodes are being released on disc in order as opposed to a "best-of" format which is a common practice at Warner Brothers.

The same features and a couple of extra ones appear on this disc including how to draw Batman, Life on the Edge Game, animation tests, and introduction by Bruce Timm, and trailers.


<li>Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker - The Original Cut features the return of the Joker! When the Joker shows up in Terry McGinnis's time, he brings along a deadly secret with him...and secret to Bruce Wayne's past.

Aside from a new intro by Bruce Timm, the extras will be exactly the same as the previous edition of this movie, although the trailers might be different. -- <font color="red">Updated!</font color="red">
