WB’s home video library of feature films that focus on their DC Comics characters have been really impressive. I have been collecting them all as they come out and haven’t been disappointed yet. (Seriously, Under the Red Hood is amazing.)
And now the upcoming release of Superman/Batman Apocalypse will get a very limited Theatrical release in NY and LA before it comes out on DVD and BluRay on Sept 28th.
Superman/Batman Apocalypse will premiere on the West Coast on September 21, 2010, followed by its New York debut on September 23rd. If you’re not one of the lucky people who can get into such exclusive events, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. The next week on September 28th the Superman/Batman Apocalypse movie will be available on DVD and Blu-ray.
I like that they are making the effort to release these in theaters just before its DVD and Blu releases, and I wonder if they are testing the market for future theatrical releases of these feature films.
Under the Red Hood could have had a theatrical release. It was that good.
They have had a lot of success with the direct to dvd market. I hope they don’t ever stop.
