DVD News! The next DC Animated feature is...

Are you expecting the DVD/Bluray release of Batman: Under the Red hood?
(quickly last seen in this post)

I know I am!
Since I'm lovin' all these DVD DC & Warner Bros have been releasin' lately, here's the latest news about the new one and the next one after that!


Under the Red Hood will be released pretty soon.
On July 27, 2010 to be exact.
A Jonah Hex short will be included in it.
I always loved cartoon shorts, it reminds me of how cartoons were initially distributed (be it Looney Tunes, Disney shorts or Tom & Jerry), like small short features before live movies. And that's how the first Toons and early Cartoon Network series were made into, small 7-10 minutes shorts.
I loved the Spectre featureon the previous DC animated, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.
It was pretty unique, fresh and original!


Anyway, here's a clip for the Red Hood movie:




The next one will be Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.


As we can see, it will really be based on "The Supergirl From Krypton", the second arc in the comics Superman/Batman. (picture above in this same post)
I'm guessing, like the first Superman/Batman movie, it will try to emulate and recreate the look and narration of this story by Jeph Loeb, with art by Michael Turner.
The cover tries to emulate Turner artstyle, the movie will probably use a simplified "animated look" quite similar as well.

And it's official! We'll have a short based on Green Arrow! I knew it! Awesome news : )

Rumoured as the next animated movies are another Green Lantern movie (a follow up to First Flight?) to be released around the live movie's date. (like the Batman Gotham Knights dvd before) and Batman: Year One based on that comics I reviewed not long ago.

Can't wait for all this, if DC and Warner animation studios keep up this same quality~
It's a good time to be a DC fan!
