Batman, X-Men, Moose & Squirrel Hit DVD

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 3:25PM |

Normally, fans make their choice between Marvel and DC each Wednesday at the comic book store. But this week, it’s also a choice to make Tuesday at the video store with new releases from the new Batman and X-Men animated series to choose from.

Up first is Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Season 1, Part 1, a two-disc set featuring the first 13 episodes of the Cartoon Network team-up series.

Marvel fans, meanwhile, will get to complete their collections with Wolverine and the X-Men, Vol. 6: Final Crisis Trilogy. The disc includes the three-part series finale for the comic book heroes’ series.

It’s been a long wait, but at long last Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends: Season 4 is here.

On the feature film side of things, there’s Furry Vengeance, starring Brendan Fraser as a real estate developer who feels the wrath of a pack of CG-animated animals.

Also out this week are Madeline's Halloween and Other Spooky Tales and My Friends Tigger and Pooh: Bedtime with Pooh.

From a press release...

BURBANK, CA (August 5, 2010) – Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video have expanded the realm of superhero storytelling beyond the popular DC Universe Animated Original PG-13 Movies with the introduction of the DC Showcase, a series of animated shorts featuring characters from the celebrated DC Comics vault. On November 9, 2010, Warner Home Video will distribute the DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection, the first quartet of animated adventures featuring the never-before-seen Superman/Shazam! The Return of Black Adam, as a Special Edition Blu-Ray for $29.99 (SRP) and single disc DVD for $19.98 (SRP).

DC Showcase animated shorts initially appeared as special bonus content on the 2010 slate of DC Universe Animated Original Movies. The 10- to 12-minute films include The Spectre, Jonah Hex and Green Arrow. All three titles will be presented in extended formats along with the first-ever release of Superman/Shazam! The Return of Black Adam.

In Superman/Shazam! The Return of Black Adam, Clark Kent’s latest interview subject is street kid Billy Batson. What Clark doesn’t know is that Billy is more than a feisty kid with a lot of heart – he has been chosen by an ancient wizard to represent the good of man as the World’s Mightiest Mortal just by invoking the name of the wizard, "Shazam!" Billy's powers come none-too-soon, as he also discovers he's being pursued by a centuries' old, murderous villain, Black Adam – a foe so powerful, even Superman can’t stop him alone. The all-star cast of Superman/Shazam! The Return of Black Adam is led by Jerry O’Connell (Crossing Jordan) as Captain Marvel, George Newbern reprising his Justice League role as Superman, Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy) as Black Adam and two-time Emmy Award winner James Garner (8 Simple Rules) as The Wizard.

Bruce Timm (Superman Doomsday) is executive producer and Joaquim Dos Santos (Justice League, Avatar: The Last Airbender) is director of the first series of DC Showcase titles. Michael Jelenic (Wonder Woman) wrote the 22-minute script.
