- Feature film

- Sneak Peek at Justice League: Doom, the next DC Universe Animated Original Movie

- DC Showcase Animated Original Short – “Catwoman”: This all-new entry to the growing canon of DC Universe animated shorts features the first first solo tale centered around Catwoman. The felonious feline’s adventure takes her through the seedy streets of Gotham City. Catwoman is voiced by Eliza Dushku (Dollhouse, Tru Calling).

- Featurette –“Heart of Vengeance: Returning Batman to His Roots”: “The Dark Knight Returns” provided the denouement of Batman's life.

The Dawn of The Dark Knight....
Warner Brothers animation (under the DCU animated label) and Bruce Timm seems to be making a habit out of adapting several of DC Comics’ best story arcs. Directed by Sam Liu and Lauren Montgomery (Green Lantern Emerald Knights), “Batman Year One” adapts the four-issue mini series written by Frank Miller (Man Without Fear) and David Mazzuchelli (from his run in Daredevil) which was published between 1986-1987 (original copyright is 1986). The animated movie “Year One” …

A Good adaptation of the comic series by Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli. It is pretty faithful to the source material, but it does omit certain details and changes the dialogue in several areas to keep up the pace. I would have to say it was more focused on action whereas the comic series was more atmospheric and succeeded as character studies of James Gordon and Bruce Wayne, and perhaps even the rise of Catwoman (this felt a little forced and almost unnecessary).         …

When it was announced that DC Comics, Warner Premiere and Warner Bros. Animation were going to be adapting the quintessential version of Batman's origins, Batman: Year One, I was completely exhilarated and a bit anxious as to whether or not the story would be done justice in a direct-to-video animated film. Having now seen the highly anticipated new film, I have to say that I am stunned by just how faithful it is. I only detected two minor changes from the Frank Miller story. The first change …
