I can't wait. I really liked the Justice League one that recently came out. The Spectre short was kind of odd. I loved the old comic book series as a kid.

Re: Batman: Under the Red Hood ---> Summer 2010
Official Press Release
BURBANK, CA – Batman confronts new enemies, old foes and painful memories when a powerful vigilante with a penchant for violence comes to Gotham City in the intense graphic-novel-come-to-life Batman: Under the Red Hood, the next entry in the popular ongoing series of DC UNIVERSE Animated Original PG-13 Movies coming July 27, 2010 from Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation. The full-length film will be distributed by Warner Home Video as a Special Edition version on Blu-Ray™ and 2 disc DVD for $29.99 (SRP) and $24.98 (SRP), respectively, as well as single disc DVD for $19.98 (SRP). The film will also be available On Demand and for Download.
The stellar voice cast has Bruce Greenwood (Captain Pike in the 2009 blockbuster Star Trek) donning the famed cowl as the voice of Batman. Supernatural star Jensen Ackles is Red Hood, and Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) voices Nightwing. John DiMaggio (Futurama) and Jason Issacs (the Harry Potter films) round out the main cast as The Joker and Ra’s Al Ghul, respectively.
Batman: Under the Red Hood is scripted by award-winning comics writer Judd Winick and based on his popular 2005 comics storyline and subsequent comics graphic novel of the same name. Animation guru Bruce Timm returns as executive producer, as he has for all eight DC Universe animated original movies. Director is Brandon Vietti, who served as co-director of Superman Doomsday and was responsible for the first one-third of that film, including the fatal battle between the two title characters.
In Batman: Under the Red Hood, Batman faces his ultimate challenge as the mysterious Red Hood takes Gotham City by firestorm. One part vigilante, one part criminal kingpin, Red Hood begins cleaning up Gotham with the efficiency of Batman, but without following the same ethical code. Killing is an option. And when The Joker falls in the balance between the two, hard truths are revealed and old wounds are reopened.
Fans will be treated to an incredible package of DC Universe storytelling as the Special Edition Blu-Ray and 2-Disc Special Edition DVD include the second animated short in the all-new DC Showcase series – which features the popular DC Comics character, Jonah Hex. The short is scripted by renowned author Joe Lansdale and stars the voices of Thomas Jane (Hung), Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), Michelle Trachtenberg (Mercy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Michael Rooker (Days of Thunder).
Batman: Under the Red Hood - 2 Disc Special Edition DVD will have more than two hours of fascinating bonus features, including:
* Featurette – Robin’s Story – It was decided it was time to add a fresh face into the story mix, which turned out to be Dick Grayson, aka Robin. This is the story of Dick Grayson and how he transformed into Robin, with Batman as his father-figure role model.
* Extended Sneak Peek at the next DC UNIVERSE Animated Original PG-13 Movie.
* Widescreen (1.78:1)
* Two title-themed episodes from of Warner Bros. Animation’s 20-year history of Batman television series, hand-picked by animation legend Bruce Timm.
Batman: Under the Red Hood Special Edition Blu-Ray will have more than three hours of bonus materials, including all the great extras from the 2-disc Special Edition DVD as well as:
* Featurette: Death in the House of Batman – The story of how DC Comics heard the fans’ cry that the new Robin was not going to fit the cape, and how the Boy Wonder was scheduled to die.
* Two additional bonus Batman-themed episodes personally selected by Bruce Timm
* Digital copy
“Batman: Under the Red Hood is another terrific entry in the groundbreaking series of DC Universe animated movies, a shining representation of the adult storytelling that comics-turned-to-film has to offer, and further evidence of the combined creative power within the collaboration of DC Entertainment, Warner Premiere, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video,” said Matt Bierman, Senior Vice President Production, Warner Premiere.
“Judd Winick's and Doug Mahnke's story of a Robin gone wrong introduced Batman's most personal enemy to date. It's unbelievably cool to see it brought to life like this," said Geoff Johns, Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment.
“With each exciting new chapter of the DC UNIVERSE films, fans have come to expect more – and Batman: Under the Red Hood delivers with an action-packed tale of mystery and emotional struggle brought to animated life by an outstanding filmmaking crew and voiced by the all-star talents of Bruce Greenwood, Jensen Ackles, Neil Patrick Harris and John Dimaggio,” said Amit Desai, WHV Vice President of Family, Animation & Partner Brand Marketing.
“In his feature length solo directorial debut, Brandon Vietti has brought this dark, psychological thriller to the screen with all the action and emotion of a great Batman story,” said Sam Register, Executive Vice President, Warner Bros. Animation. “

Re: Batman: Under the Red Hood ---> Summer 2010
Conroy is always my first preference for the voice of Batman, but I like that they've been willing to find different voices for different looks. It really gives this line of features the feel of a true anthology. Plus, I'm kind of excited to hear what Bruce Greenwood does with the character.

Re: Batman: Under the Red Hood ---> Summer 2010
Is this movie about how Batman comes out of the closet? It's pretty ballsy of DC to cover this subject in an animated film for teens.

Re: Batman: Under the Red Hood ---> Summer 2010
What a bunch of idiots...I'm sure they could have made a lot more money from Jonah Hex if this Batman dvd/blu-ray was released before Jonah Hex, because it's probably guaranteed that the Jonah Hex cartoon short is going to be better than the live-action movie. What idiots! I'm assuming that there is going to be a 1-disk version of this Batman movie as well, not including the Jonah Hex cartoon (as they did with the Justice League Crisis on Two Earths 1-disker not including the Spectre short). So now that people think that Jonah Hex sucks due to the movie, there may be more people just buying the 1-disker that doesn't include the Jonah Hex short.

Re: Batman: Under the Red Hood ---> Summer 2010
Just finished watching this and for my money this is the best DC animated feature ever produced. Better than Return of the Joker, Phantasm, Wonder Woman, you name it. This more than makes up for the dreck that was "Public Enemies". The character design and artwork was superb and reminiscent of Batman TAS. No surprise given Bruce Timm's involvement. The voice work was great. This is blasphemous to say but I didnt miss Kevin Conroy at all. Dont get me wrong Conroy is great, but the guy they used actually sounds somewhat like him and does an excellent job. Its a shame that this hasn't gotten more publicity.

That guy is Bruce Greenwood. He was Captain Pike in the recent Star Trek movie. I was pretty excited when I heard they'd cast him, because his cadence and tone seemed like a good fit for Batman. I'm a Conroy fan--I've said for years now, he really is my generation's Batman--but with the anthology-like nature of these DTV features, I like that they cast different voices. I liked what William Baldwin did with the role in Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. It was minimalist, which suits Batman. Looking forward to getting my grubby paws on Under the Red Hood.

Re: Batman: Under the Red Hood ---> Summer 2010
I went in expecting to hate it, but it was really well done. Lots of DC characters shown. Bruce Greenwood was an excellent choice. Took me a bit to get used to the Joker's voice. By his second or third scene I felt better about it.
Now the violence was there, and pretty rough to watch. However, there was little blood/gashes/bruising. I guess that's just the nature of making these PG-13. The opening felt unrealistic from this, but that's okay. The film's ending was rather poignant.
I am not typically a Judd Winnick fan, but I am happy with this.

Also, the version that Target is selling contains 2 bonus animated episodes (in addition to the 2 already included. They are "A Matter of Family" from "the Batman" and "Joker's Millions" from "TAS"
