It might not be as emotional as Mask of the Phantasm but it's still a well written entry in the Batman series and it's a really fun action movie and the Timmiverse has some of the best animation out there. I have a feeling this is a test from WB hopefully they give us a good transfer (I have a feeling it won't be that great, just decent) but hopefully and if this works out, who knows Mask of the Phantasm later this year? =D

[Bane]

A decent enough movie, and I'll definitely be there day 1, but I really hope this is a precursor for the rest of the series/movies. Well, maybe not Subzero, that was balls.

[DjfunkmasterG]

4:3 WTH? They can't draw in 16:9

[cheez avenger]

Awesome. Day 1.

[upgrayedd]

Day one for me also, the final Bruce Batman and Joker battle was epic and sad.

I enjoyed all of them for what they were. Honestly, I don't think they ever did a bad Mr. Freeze.

Yeah the 4 by 3 is confusing but i don't believe any of the Batman series from Timm or Superman was done in 16:9 but Justice League was after 2 seasons or 1.

I enjoyed all of them for what they were. Honestly, I don't think they ever did a bad Mr. Freeze.

Well they did inspire this


And the Mr. Freeze movie was pretty good it's the weakest good one, Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman was terrible. I can't believed they churned out that mediocrity.

[twonunpackmule]

Eh, Batwoman didn't anger me. I took it as an alright tale. Really, I just like DCAU. So, anything is better than nothing. I wish they would dip into that well again.

Well it's like their Cars and it has some continuity errors, I was pissed when they said Barbara and Bruce had a relationship. Made Bruce turn out to be some horny bastard.

[kalel1974]

Cool... day one buy for me. This movie is a whole lot of fun, and really well written. Music rocks also.

[twonunpackmule]

Their relationship was mentioned in Batman Beyond.

[Dr Kain]

I'm pretty sure the DVD is in widescreen. I could be wrong though, it has been a while since I watched it.

Anyway, this is amazing news. This is my favorite of the movies, and finally get it on Blu-Ray is going to be amazing. Now, if they could just get to release all of JL on Blu-Ray properly, I would be a happy camper.

Because they did. Did you not watch the final season of Batman the Animated Series? The episode where they bring in Firefly shows their relationship.

[Idioteque...]

Their relationship was mentioned in Batman Beyond.

Well yeah but I tried to ignore that until Mystery of the Batwoman gives that strong hint at the end. It was really stupid idea on the writers' part.

I don't recall the Firefly episode hinting their relationship at all, I remember she was just his only sidekick at the time with Tim Drake.

[MrAngles]

I didn't like this movie at all for whatever reason, it was very disappointing compared to the television series. I'd love to see "Batman Beyond: The Movie" on Blu, although it was probably originally animated in 480i for television anyway.

[Andy Anonymous]

But is it the uncut version?
