    This will be the last movie done by Bruce Timm's animated division. I think it would be really cool as fans if we could make this movie sell a lot. Both as a thank you to those guys that worked so hard and as a way to show WB that we're still interested in this medium.

    @KnightRise: everyone who ever read Dark Knigh Returns knows that line. It's already been changed up a little. Hope they don't kill this movie.

    @TheCrowbar: Warner is closing the division that produces the movies but they are still going to produce the animated flicks just with another division. I think Flashpoint was mentioned as possibly being in production and DKR part 2 is still coming out.

    @TheCrowbar: It would help if they released this on Blu-ray/DVD in Europe. I can never find these on Amazon.co.uk

    The fact that they're splitting this up into two releases is a bit of a bummer. I get why they are I guess, but I'd much rather watch one thing.

    Awesomeness. This has the chance to be the best Batman film ever. Now I'm not getting my hopes up and I know Mask of the Phantasm will be hard to beat, but this looks great.
