In it's 16th year, Studio Day was held at Dave's Video in California where industry bigwigs and DVD fans would get to meet and talk about upcoming releases. Naturally, Batman: Special Edition and Batman: Animated were two very popular subjects at the meet.
The outcome? Not good.
<a href="http://www.dvdfile.com">DVD File</a> covered the event and put up indepth information of the event available at their website. The full version of the WB portion of the meet is available <a href="http://www.dvdfile.com/news/special_report/events/studio_day/2001/warner.html">here</a>. Here is the news that will interest Batman and WB Animation fans:
"Tim Burton fans may have a long wait for those hoped-for Batman, Beetlejuice and Mars Attacks special editions. While "under discussion" as always, pending Burton's involvement, these are not even in production."
"[WB] is working on a Looney Toons collection for release sometime in the future, though due to the amount of work required it may not arrive in 2002. Other series that are not planned at this time for DVD release but as always are "under consideration" as always include Animaniacs, Tiny Toons and Batman: The Animated Series."
Just a reminder, there will be a WB Home Video chat at <a href="http://www.hometheaterforum.com">Home Theater Forum</a> on Tuesday at 8pm (or 9pm). The topic will be upcoming WB DVD releases. Stay tuned for anymore Batman or WB Animation dvelopments on the DVD front.
