Japan WB blu rays and Japanese releases

Hi, You know I loved shows like Batman Beyond growing up, and blu ray releases for all the greats these days are exciting! But for a long time now, I've been learning Japanese and even reached the point where I will watch anything in RAW Japanese whenever possible. Almost everything gets a dub, and I've imported a great many movies and shows from Japan on blu ray to have that version. Examples too numerous to mention, but maybe you know if you wanted something like "Home Alone" dubbed in Japanese, all you have to do is import the correct blu ray!

So here I'm left scratching my head. It would be the same way, and very convenient too, if WB Japan would decide to release some things like this, even just mirroring the American editions, except in audio. I want Batman Beyond in the WORST WAY, But the full list is:

Batman Beyond
Smallville
The Batman (2004)
Superman the animated series

So I'm torn, I want to upgrade them to blu ray, but the way I want them is in Japanese! Should I really expect that will never happen after all this time? If only American editions included this, or Japanese editions existed, I would have got them in a heartbeat! As it is, I'm thinking of getting the American blu rays after all this time, maybe depending on replies here.

Thanks!

At times Japanese dubs and subs can be found on non-Japanese releases. The US/UK UHD of Home Alone has the Japanese dubs, the German Blu-ray of “Home Alone” as well.

Batman Beyond, Smallvile, Superman - are only available on DVD in Japan. No Blu-rays.
The Batman - this has not been released on DVD or Blu-ray in Japan. Broadcast only.
