Whoa... so many numbers, so much information, haha

I just checked the WBShop, and they seem to have all the movies I want, but do some of them some with slipcovers?

Only reason I ask is because there are two listings for two different Blu-ray titles:

Superman/Shazam: Return of Black Adam - $21.29
Superman/Shazam: Return of Black Adam - $15

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker - $14.29
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker - $14.99

There is also a couple dollar difference between two listings of that upcoming DC villain documentary, but I noticed one of them says "Double BD Case" and the other says "Blue BD Case." or something...

Anyone know what's up with those differences above? I switched between tabs on the info things, and couldn't see anything different...

I would keep the DVDs for some of the earlier releases since Warner hadn't started releasing BD/DVD combos yet.

Also, check out the threads in my signature for exclusives. Both Best Buy and Target have sold exclusives for these movies.

I will keep an eye on Amazon and WBShop

Hm... that's a good point. Even though I don't use DVDs at all anymore (unless it's something I have exclusively on DVD), there's always that chance that my PS3 will decide to be a dingdong I didn't exchange my Wonder Woman and Green Lantern: First Flight DVDs, but I decided to give them to my mom! So they're still within a 1 mile radius from me. Guess I can't complain

I appreciate your help on the exclusives part, but I think from now on, unless it's a movie I adore to the brim, I will just stick to the regular run-of-the-mill release Especially with these DC movies, I am already taking a leap of faith buying the Blu-rays, I don't want to add the decision-making of exclusives into that

Ah... SPOILERS FOR MAN OF STEEL -

[Show spoiler]When I saw Man of Steel, I didn't know that Superman had that rule. I thought that was always Batman's thing... so I wasn't nearly as offended by Superman's decision to take Zod's life as some fans were. After seeing Superman vs The Elite, though, I can understand the frustrations. That movie really put under a close light that barrier of morality, and I understand it much greater than before.

Buuut... I heard that Man of Steel is not even the first time Superman has decided to kill. There are several storylines where he has done it, so I don't quite understand the immense outcry towards Man of Steel.

When I see Man of Steel again, though, that scene will have a much greater impact on me. See, when I was watching it, I thought, "Well... he has to save that family, and if he doesn't kill Zod now, Zod may come back for revenge ten-fold!" But now I realize in Superman's world, it isn't that easy.

I think it will be interesting to see how the Superman/Batman movie tackles that controversy. I'm pretty sure that will be a big point of contention between the two, the fact that Batman has NOT killed anybody, and Superman HAS killed somebody... unless they try to make Batman have a secret backstory or something... but I think it will be interesting if they make Batman have a cocky attitude and superiority complex over Superman with regards to that "no death" thing

And if I were the writer, I would make it so that Batman and Superman eventually become so close, that Batman almost DOES kill the person responsible for almost killing Superman, assuming they put Superman in danger that is

Sorry you didn't like Man of Steel, though Honestly, I thought it was incredible, and a near-perfect superhero film. And, if it weren't for Man of Steel, I might not have gotten Injustice, and that means I wouldn't have started on this DC kick, which also means I would have never even GLANCED at Superman vs. The Elite! So there's a good side to Man of Steel, too!

As far as upgrading to Blu-Ray goes, another thing you might want to look into are trade-ins. Best Buy just finished up theirs today, but they run an "upgrade and save" promo pretty often, in which every DVD turned in gets you a $5 off coupon for any Blu-Ray $9.99 and up, and I'm pretty sure that the WBshop has a similar "DVD2Blu" service, as well, in which they give you credits toward Blu-Rays that will partially (or fully, depending on how much you spent) compensate you for the DVDs and save you money on the Blu-Rays.

As far as the movies go, I'd recommend it. They get cheaper all the time, and there are sales quite often, so, providing you could get good deals on them, and, maybe even trade in some DVDs toward them, why not go for the better quality version, right?

If you don't already have it, pick up Flashpoint on blu. I thought it was great.

If slipcovers are important to you, WBShop is not the place to get them. The slipcover for Superman/Shazam was very limited and goes for big prices on the used market. I don't know the differences between the two Shazam listings, there are no alternative editions as far as I know. WB did reissue Batman Beyond with a DVD version, so the cheaper one has both a BD and DVD.

Yes, I did hear about that program, and was so sad when I looked it up yesterday and discovered that it wasn't going on after the 10th. They seem to do them frequently, though, so here's to hoping they start it back up soon

Interesting about the DVD2Blu thing. I believe I have heard of that, but always ignored it until this moment... Guess I should dig through all those emails I ignored, since they seemed to talk about DVD2Blu quite a bit.

Indeed! I like the way you think

If we're talking about The Flashpoint Paradox, of course I bought that! It was the first DC Animated Movie to come out after I started playing Injustice, so of course I picked that banana up immediately!

I really want to watch it, but I'm waiting for the right moment. The moment when I feel I am comfortable enough with the universe that I'll enjoy it a significant amount

I see. Well, slipcovers aren't important enough to me that I'll go out of my way to get a DC movie that has one (except for Green Lantern: First Flight, since that slipcover is gorgeous), but if I see it in a slipcover, it's not like I'll be all like, "Hey! I don't like this!" and proceed to rip it off and crumple it up into pieces

It's more of a "That's pretty cool if I can get one, but I won't scour the entire universe to get one" thing But thank you for the tip

The cheaper Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker will have the BD and DVD? I wouldn't have expected that!

So there's a good side to Man of Steel, too!

I don't want to derail too much, but I'll talk a little bit about my feelings on Man of Steel. Before I go any further, let me clarify that I've never been really into comic books so the vast majority of my superhero experience comes from TV/movies, and except for Superman 1-4, I didn't even really start watching any superhero shows (even the cartoons everyone watches as a kid) until I was in my early 20s. I've read very little of the source material that a lot of these adaptations come from. Hopefully that lends some perspective on where I'm coming from.

Visually, I thought Man of Steel was spectacular. Having seen Watchmen and 300 and not being very enthused by the style, I was honestly a bit worried about Superman. But I'm glad I wasn't disappointed in that regard. The opening sequence on Krypton was really great, and I really liked the version of Lois Lane. I started to get worried when

[Show spoiler]Johnathan Kent answered, "Maybe," when Clark asked if he should have let the people on the bus die. That's just not the Johnathan Kent I know from Superman: The Movie, Smallville, or Lois & Clark. A big part of why Superman is so good is because he had good parents that taught him good values and respect for life. When that ideal was (IMO) thrown out the window early on in Man of Steel, my heart sank.

(I have kids, and I know that as a parent it's sometimes tough to give them answers to difficult questions, but--and I recognize that Superman is a fantasy world--that's not a difficult question for Johnathan Kent to answer. Part of why I love Superman is even though he's not real, his ideals give us all something to strive for.)

It got worse when Clark didn't save Johnathan from the tornado. I understand the argument that Clark was trying to show that he trusted his father about not exposing himself, but his father was wrong. Smallville (the show) was not perfect, but its Johnathan Kent sure was a much better portrayal.

Superman is also a protector. To tell everyone in Smallville to get inside the buildings and then proceed to level everything inside in the fight with the Kryptonians instead of taking the fight elsewhere isn't protecting. Leveling Metropolis isn't either. Killing Zod was just awful. Superman is incredibly powerful, and incredibly good. He could have done something else. (Except that Johnathan Kent told him that maybe it was okay to let people die. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure all of the negative reviews I have read of Man of Steel have focused on the mass destruction in Smallville and Metropolis, and killing Zod. I haven't read anyone that mentioned the "maybe" line from Johnathan, but I really feel like that's one of the roots of the problem.)

Again, my feelings on that are largely influenced by Superman vs. The Elite. I'm not ashamed to say I teared up a little when Lois found the note that said, "Always believe."

There's also a Justice League episode (a two-parter in season 2, I think) that explores an alternate universe where Superman kills Lex Luthor, the fallout from that, and how it effects not just Superman but the Justice League as a whole. For me it was another powerful example of why Superman has his rules and has to live by them.

Sorry, I've probably rambled enough for now. I get really passionate about this subject and don't usually know when to stop. But I'm glad it got you into the wider DC universe.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

I see.

[Show spoiler]Another thing the Superman vs The Elite demonstrated was that he wanted to take the fight elsewhere and not put the citizens in trouble, so I can understand why that was frustratingly against his normal actions in Man of Steel, that he brought the fight to the city and put everyone in danger.

Though your comment on Johnathan Kent saying "Maybe" instead of a resounding "You definitely should have saved those kids" is quite important to what I believe was the point of the film. It didn't tear away the origins that so many people are comfortable with; it merely tweaked them just slightly enough to make us understand that this is a new Clark Kent and a new Superman universe, that might not follow the rules of the ones we know of. It's apparent in that response from his father that's not named Jor-El, the fact that Lois Lane already knows his identity basically from the beginning, the strength of Lois Lane's character (she was super strong and independent in Superman vs The Elite, but other than that I've always considered her a posterchild for the damsels in distress that are so rampant in superhero movies)... that is to say, she was so strong and always fending for herself (which is a huge plus in my book), then of course the biggest things being that he didn't take the fight elsewhere and of course he killed Zod.

I think all of these things, the subtle and the blatant, were meant to stir up controversy, and it was all deliberate. They wanted to introduce a new Superman to this post-Dark Knight world, which is a grittier and more grounded version of the superheroes we know and love.

Honestly, I hated Superman before I saw Man of Steel. I thought he was the stupidest, cheapest, most boring superhero ever, and was an amalgamation of everything that is wrong with superheroes, origin stories, supervillains, etc. Just dumb. But... then Man of Steel came out and I loved it so much. Instead of treating Clark Kent like an otherworldly foreign being from a faraway planet, they wrote him to be a struggling human just like all of us. That was the most brilliant thing for me. He was relatable. He was an alien from another planet, but they still made him so relatable, and that invested me emotionally in his character and his actions throughout the film.

While the peaceful Superman from years past would be truer to the source material, I think this was a necessary change (a necessary evil, perhaps? ) for his character to be enjoyed by today's audience. Whimsical and fun superhero doesn't cut it anymore. I hate to sound like a sheep person, but the grittiness and realism certainly pushed me into loving Superman, and now I've come to really respect him as an icon and a superhero in all of his stuff... I'm even planning on picking up the Motion Picture Anthology on Blu-ray!

Superman Returns tried to stick to the Superman formula too much. That was the problem with it. In the 70s and 80s, that worked great. But in 2005? (I think that's when it came out). It came off as silly to the general audience. So they went back to the drawing board and Christopher Nolan sprinkled his magic awesome dust on it, and voila! We have Man of Steel, which I believe to be up there with The Dark Knight Rises in terms of incredible pacing, special effects, storytelling, and thematic depth. That relentless action sequence at the end of the film, that feels like it lasted for 30 minutes straight, was just amazing... unbelievable.

Honestly I also loved seeing Metropolis be so devastated... It really was a warzone, and I could feel the heartbreak from the citizens when it is shown that the whole city was pretty much leveled. Innocent lives were lost, billions of dollars worth of damage were incurred, and the city of Metropolis is visibly shaken to its foundation, quite literally. To me, it opens the doors for a much darker sequel that will show Superman's actions have much greater consequences, as you seem to be hinting at with that Justice League 2-parter And as I said, with Batman in the picture now, I'm betting that will be a central point of focus, that Superman is careless and the only thing that separates him from being one of his nemeses is the paradigm the citizens are looking through. Such a fragile lens to see through that it will crack at any moment, but for the time being it is what they view him as: a hero, despite the atrocities he left in his wake.

Have fun with that little opinion above!

Ha! Rambling... you haven't seen rambling until you've looked at my post history I'll have to check out that episode, by the way. Thanks for the heads-up

Yeah! Back to the topic... You know what? Screw it. What about Smallville? Is that worth buying on Blu-ray? Are only a few seasons available on it at the moment?

So true on Mystery of the Batwoman lol. A lot of people don't know this (or maybe they do) but it was created not with any intent of artistic integrity; it was a tie-in to Mattel getting the toy license from Kenner and releasing a new slate of action figures, hence why Penguin and Bane were featured prominently as the villains and why they didn't take it as an opportunity to wrap up the Batman animated universe. I've told this before but I was in a focus group for it before it came out and I tried to suggest ways they could improve it (bring back the original voice actors for Oswald and Bane for example), but the WB reps were too busy listening to the DCAU geeks practically sobbing over how wonderful it was lol. It's truly one of the worst animated movies ever made, so like a good sheep of course I'm dumb enough to own it lol

Okay, thank you very much Are there plans to port those seasons to Blu-ray in the future? Or will I be safe picking up the first season, knowing it will be the best release I will have for a while?

You for real?

How could the "DCAU geeks" love it if it is so bad? Isn't that the demographic that's most likely to hate the product?

Sounds like another Batman & Robin situation with regards to the toy tie-in, but I'm sure Mystery of the Batwoman, as bad as it could be, is leagues better than that trash?

I will definitely try the movie out still, but these negative impressions might knock it down a peg or two on the Priority Ladder

I'm for real The DCAU geeks I was referring to are die-hard followers of Bruce Timm's DC Animated Universe- but this was all 10 years ago, so it's probably neither here nor there at this point, I was just making an aside.

To answer your original question, I would just buy the ones you like- the one everyone seems to unanimously think is the best is Batman: Under the Red Hood (myself included). If you mainly like just Batman, pick up that and Year One then all the recent ones from the past few years and you're pretty much set. If you want to eventually get all the movies in the DC Universe line, wait until they go on sale or inevitably are bundled in double packs, or just pick up your favorites every now and then. Although I'm sure someone already clarified, Mystery of Batwoman and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker are not part of the DC Universe line of original animated movies, they were made years before to tie in to their respective shows. Return of the Joker is one of my all time favorites, but without the context of the show and the time it was made it might not be your favorite going in cold. I would say since you own many on DVD go with your gut, if you're fine just snagging the ones you enjoy kudos to you, if you eventually want them all for collectibility just be patient and I bet good sales will come around

The remaining seasons of Smallville are not coming to Blu-ray.
