Re: DC Animated Universe Films
I have received more than one disc from Target in the same kind of "cardboard shrinkwrap" package as Best Buy. Probably because they ship from the same place these days. But luckily nothing was damaged. I'll probably still pick up an extra of Gaslight in steel if they still have some just in case mine comes looking like Decker's picture.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
There were only 2 in the Target near my house. I asked the guy I know who works there and he said that was all they received.
Looks like the gouging started on ebay.....

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Those "cardboard shrinkwrap" boxes can now hold quite a few discs. I recently had my initial Disney Movie Club shipment sent in one. Seven discs! Thankfully there was only one disc in there that had anything that could get damaged (slipcover) and it was fine. But I had never seen one of those things hold seven discs before.
ETA: Good thing I stopped by the store and picked up a spare. My shipped copy arrived in the typical cardboard shrinkwrap and the bottom edge of the steelbook was bent.

I'm actually holding out until next week. Target is running a B2G1. I'm hoping to scoop it up for $13.33.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
You know a year ago, maybe even half, I would be all over the Target SteelBook. But, none of these animated features really have any replay value for me. They are ok. But nothing I really need to revisit anytime soon. Except of course Wonder Woman animated. That is like one of favorite movies of all time. Now, $5 digital copy and I’m content...

If anyone is dumb enough not to check on Target.com first, it's really the buyers problem, not the seller. I'm against scalpers as much as the next guy, but Target still has them available for shipping currently.

Anyway, my steelbook did ship last night and within the metro area...so it should be here Thursday. Hopefully it arrives decent shape and this continues for future Target DC Animated steelbooks in regards to more availability. Sure would take the pressure off of things.
BTW, Good luck on the B2G1, you might indeed get lucky, I'll probably be sitting that one out and enjoying this one as well as my Twilight Time order.

Hell, I'll even swap you a new sealed copy of the movie with the graphic novel.

Good thing I went out today as my Target only had one of the Gotham By Gaslight Steelbooks left. I snagged it. I need to get the two I missed still (Batman vs. Two-Face and Justice League: The New Frontier).

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
I'm also wondering if the steelbook is going to be an Amazon exclusive, or something like JL Frontier was where the steelbook was available at multiple places.

I think it's odd that Alfred is not dressed in Japanese clothing in that pic. I doubt butlers wore western clothing in feudal Japan. I'm assuming that's the Red Hood next to Alfred; he looks kind of stupid with that hat/mask thing. They had other choices that look more menacing.

Damian (assuming that’s who it is, looks like him) looks goofy too. Way too happy for one thing and looks like he’s balding or something except on the sides and with a little patch in the middle.

Batman: Gotham By Gaslight 4K UHD review for those inclined. This looks like a case where the improved compression makes the UHD the preferred choice over the BD.

I'm passing on the steelbook version this time at Target.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
And a pretty bad 4K review. Not really sure why they bother.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
I watched it on Friday night (my steelbook arrived in excellent condition btw)...pretty darn good. The mystery aspect plays well and I liked all of the clever nods to present day Batman in use of the characters and ideas. Well worth seeing, and possibly one of the rare ones worth seeing a second time.

Batman Ninja english language trailer.
Batman Ninja english language trailer.
Prepare to witness the Dark Knight, alongside many of his most famed allies and infamous foes, in an eye-popping anime display you've never seen before when Warner Bros. Japan, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment present Batman Ninja. The all-new, feature-length animated film arrives on Digital starting April 24, 2018, and Blu-ray™ Steelbook, Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD on May 8, 2018.
Batman Ninja takes a journey across the ages as Gorilla Grodd's time displacement machine transports many of Batman's worst enemies to feudal Japan - along with the Dark Knight and a few of his allies. The villains take over the forms of the feudal lords that rule the divided land, with the Joker taking the lead among the warring factions. As his traditional high-tech weaponry is exhausted almost immediately, Batman must rely on his intellect and his allies - including Catwoman and the extended Bat-family - to restore order to the land, and return to present-day Gotham City.
The visually stunning Batman Ninja is the creative result of a trio of anime's finest filmmakers: director Jumpei Mizusaki (Opening animation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), writer Kazuki Nakashima (Gurren Lagann), and character designer Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai) produced the original movie with Warner Bros. Japan. The script was then reinterpreted and rewritten for English-language distribution by award-winning screenwriters Leo Chu and Eric Garcia (Supah Ninjas, Afro Samurai). Benjamin Melniker and Michael Uslan are Executive Producers.
Roger Craig Smith (Batman: Arkham Origins) and Tony Hale (Veep, Arrested Development) lead an impressive cast as the voices of Batman and the Joker, respectively. Grey Griffin (Scooby-Doo franchise) and Tara Strong (Batman: The Killing Joke) supply the voices of the antagonist & protagonist's closest allies - Catwoman and Harley Quinn, respectively - while Fred Tatasciore (Family Guy) provides the gruff-yet-sophisticated tones of Gorilla Grodd, a villain who must team with Batman to achieve his own personal agenda. Other voice actors include Bat-family members Yuri Lowenthal (Ben 10: Omniverse) as Robin, Adam Croasdell (Reign) as Nightwing and Alfred, and Will Friedle (Boy Meets World) as Red Robin, and the Rogue's gallery also features Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants) as Penguin and Eric Bauza (The Adventures of Puss in Boots) as Two-Face. Doing double duty is Tatasciore as Deathstroke, Strong as Poison Ivy, and Friedle as Red Hood.

That actually looks decent and english translation sort of explains how Batman ends up in feudal Japan.
I don't really buy these DC Animated movies as IMO they don't have much replay value. But, I will try to rent this when it comes out digitally.
