During the panel for Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, a Warner Bros. representative confirmed that Batman: The Animated Series, as well as Superman: The Animated Series, would be given box set treatments. Given the uneven nature of the Batman: The Animated Series seasons, varying from sixty episodes to just five episodes, it's unknown how Warner Bros. will approach them.
I'm very glad they've had a change of heart about this -- having held off on the single releases, I will certainly buy up the season sets for Batman: The Animated Series. I'd also glady buy sets (is it still in production? I'm unsure) for Batman Beyond, which I thought was a terrible concept when the teasers hit the airwaves, but after giving it a shot discovered that I couldn't have been more wrong -- it's one of my favorite animated shows, excellent in every respect. Maybe it's just the occasional presence of Batman, but after these two, the new Justice League would be third on my list of most desired season sets for contemporary 'toons.
to WB for bringing the Dark Knight to DVD in style.
Maybe it was the $100+ bootleg box sets were getting on eBay, or maybe Warner's family department decided to actually gauge fan interest for their titles, but either way, HALLELUJAH!
