Wow. I would not have guessed that. I wonder why no TV is on there yet.

Has WB moved to only MA like Fox?

Wouldn't shock me if the two movies were removed from the standard set as well. But no biggie IMO since they are both available separately and appear to be the same discs (w/ Sub Zero still having the SD episodes as bonus features).

I’d consider one of the shirt bundles but they’re just charging the regular price for tacking the shirt on. Only benefit is that you get free shipping since it’s over $100 but still meh.

Amazon added a new listing for the deluxe edition with the digital copy. Time to cancel and re-order


The old listing seems to be for the standard version

Looks like digital copies are bullshit. There will be NO digital copies included.



One listing has been removed and compressed, as well.

If there is no digital copy included in the deluxe version I might as well wait for the inevitable cheaper set but then again I do purchase some POPS (just picked up a few Ant-Man and the Wasp chase Pops) and it seems to be much more limited than the other complete Batman live action series set (30,000 vs 100,000 Batman live action tv series sets).

I just feel that I was a bit burned by the other Batman set and at best I can say I broke even by paying $60-80 for the digital episodes after I subtract the amount I made selling it on eBay.

30,000 really is not a kajillion copies so I might have to pull the trigger before it goes OOP (and again, if there are not 30,000 other editions that pop up on the market after this is released, I actually feel this set will indeed go OOP just like the DVD set which I barely missed getting back during deepdiscount's famous sales that had everyone buying a million dvds and the kitchen sink during those sales).

I like having the 1966 Batman set, but honestly I really just watch the episodes so for TAS I'll probably wait for the basic BD set or digital HD. I do like having the supplemental features so those might play a factor in my eventual purchase.

Preorder is up at Deep Discount. Currently $87.53 using promo code SHARK.

https://www.deepdiscount.com/batman-...s/883929638482

It's a little cheaper through Import CDs ($83.39), but I've never ordered through them.

Think I’ll just keep my Amazon pre-order for now and hope for a price drop.

Amazon will definitely price-drop it - even lower than deep discount.

Re: Batman: The Animated Series - coming to Blu-ray in 2018
 
Could be due to potential digital piracy (regarding no digital copies). Anytime digital copies are released, they are soon flooded on the dark web. Maybe WB wants to protect this release as they are also distributing it (via HD streaming) on DC Universe.

PhantomStranger 07-26-18 03:03 PM

Re: Batman: The Animated Series - coming to Blu-ray in 2018
 
Movies Anywhere has not dealt at all with television content from any studio. Warner has shifted all their digital copies to MA with the exception of the CW television shows - those still have UV copies. Personally, I don't think MA will ever include television content. The studios are putting out fewer and fewer television releases these days.

The problem is that UV is dying and will be all but dead once Paramount and Lionsgate join MA.

b2net 07-26-18 05:22 PM

Re: Batman: The Animated Series - coming to Blu-ray in 2018
 
Every WB New Release Movie I've submitted recently have been UV and MA.

I didn't want to imply that Warner had abandoned UV, as they were the main studio behind it to begin with. But Fox, Disney and Universal have all stopped giving UV rights. Once Warner joined MA, UV is an afterthought for them.

I put in my preorder, as a lifelong Batman fan I've seen some episodes, but not the whole series.

I think that there's some hope for Digital copies on this set.

It looks like, at least from the artwork on amazon, that WB release The Big Bang Theory Season 11 is Blu-Ray + Digital. I didn't really start redeeming digital copies until earlier this year and for TBBT I redeemed the seasons I owned that had them (1, 5-10) at Vudu. I probably should have tried UV first as that links with Vudu. Hoping that Season 11 still includes them. Rick and Morty Season 3, also a WB release from May, had Digital Copies.

Looks like Import CDs has it listed as DVDs.

It's all a moot point after Warner confirmed on Twitter that Batman doesn't include any digital copies. The mock graphic art on Amazon is wrong, unfortunately.

The artwork on the official WB store site still shows digital so they should probably take it down if no digital is being offered. I know I would be pissed if i paid $112 for the set expecting them to be in there and they weren't. Not everyone hangs out on movie message boards for info.

Amazon price dropped a bit, to $101.61.

And if you pre-ordered it it already locked in the lowest price.

Just a mistake in the listing, unless there was a DVD version announcement for the same date that I'm unaware of.

BullMoose has it up for $100 with no tax in most states.

The UK version (non deluxe) is down to 67 bucks shipped to the States. The product description says it will have MOTP and Sub-Zero.


Pre-ordered!

That's what I expected for the standard version. Which is fine by me since I already have MOTP (and Mystery of the Bat Woman). Will just need to pick up Sub-Zero.

That is awfully compelling. I might have to do that. Thanks for the heads-up!

The standard version does include MoTP and Sub-Zero. At least, that's what the description on amazon.co.uk says.

So I'll have an extra copy of MOTP. Damn, wish I would have waited.

Word is that the strong response to the sales of Mask helped push this project towards being done. It's a small price to pay, in my mind, to make sure TAS got the treatment it deserved.

I like the idea of the UK version without all the other stuff I don't need or want, but i'm also anal about packaging from other countries :p

Any sense of the region coding on the UK set? Amazon.co.uk says B, but I know that's not always correct.

Warner Bros. almost never region-locks Blu-rays. The Amazon listing is boilerplate text. You should be able to order this with confidence that it will be region-free.
