There is clearly a whole lot to understand about this. I believe you made some great points in Features also.

All shorts and new? If they made’em longer and closer with mini-seasons, then it might redeem DC in my eyes. Obviously a guy like JT Krul isn’t going to change that.

They’ve also said all the stories will have commentary tracks on them. That’s a damn good reason to double dip.

LOL and they should keep letting Timm pick episodes of the shows to put on them. At this rate if he keeps it up we’ll have all the episodes on Blu before they produce actual sets of the cartoons for us to buy again.

I would rather just see Captain Marvel be the subject of the next full length project.

Sounds good to me. I can keep buying to single disc editions of the full length films and not miss these.

I’m happy for this.

A few points of interest:

*It looks like the art for the Shazam story (as well as at least part of the story itself) is a rendition of the Superman/Shazam mini that came out a few years back. That’s why Superman is featured in the animated version. The only new addition will be Black Adam.

* I just wish they’d release a full length feature with just the Marvel Family. Fans have been begging for this for years. I’m just worried that with the release of this short film, that it might mean that we won’t be getting anything else for the Marvel Family.

i’ll have to wait a year and get it at a discount price from someone on ebay or amazon.. not interested in paying $20 for 75% stuff i’ve already seen..

I, for one, have been hoping they’d do something like this. I don’t mind watching the “main films” in the line-up, but didn’t want to buy them just for the Showcase cartoons, which I’m more interested in. This way, I’ll be able to bypass the 2-disc sets and get EXACTLY what I want.

Good show, DC Entertainment!

I was hooked until they said Superman/Clark was in the Shazam short. I thought the straight to DVD animated movies DC are producing were to showcase the many Characters that DC has in its Library in these movies. It seems to me, that Superman and Batman have been in enough flicks that they have put out they could have skipped them on this project. Seeing a appearance by Superman or Batman in a short which could give the spotlight Solely to another character does not make me want to open my wallet. Like many, I buy the single DVD, so getting all the shorts in one place would have been nice. BUT I think I’ll wait until they produce a DVD of shorts with no Bats or Krytonian on it. You can Love it or hate, I think I’ll pass on buying this.

OK, I just found WB’s press release on this. It says the first 3 shorts will be pressented in “extended format” and the the disc will also include additional DC Universe episodes picked by Bruce Timm.

I’m definitely getting this video; it looks great.

I think this is a good compromise for people who have only purchased the single-disc versions of the animated films, or the films on iTunes, etc. I have all the 2-disc versions but I don’t feel as though WB is gouging me for this (assuming the price is reasonable). After all, you get more than just the shorts in the 2-disc/Blu-Ray special features. I also like the retrospectives and bonus DC episodes. If they plan on adding special features to this release (maybe a history of Captain Marvel feature?) I think it will be worth getting.

this way those who did not get the dvds that had the shorts can now get the shorts. or if they only want the shorts. this way fans can have them. plus the fact saves having to buy every movie for the shorts only.

i hope this oppens the door for full lenght animation for captain Marevl i ve been re-reading jerry ordway´s re interpretation in power of shazam and it rocks! besides he turns 70 this year !! he desersves it!!

I’ve been buying the Bluray versions of the films, so I’ve already got the other shorts. Seems like they should include this Shazam short on a future film release, rather than gouge their regular customers who have been supporting these shorts through purchases all year.

I like the idea of collecting them onto a single DVD, but how much is it going to cost?

If all we get is a 22 minute feature, and three 10 minute shorts, that’s less than a hour of material. Kinda skimpy for a whole DVD, doncha’ think? I won’t be paying more than $10 for it, and that’s being generous.

Works for me. I only buy the Single Disc version of the main features, so I usually miss out on the shorts. Having them all on one disc will be nice, too.

I’d like to see additional shorts on this …

First…I like the drawing of SHAZAM/Captain Marvel, he looks cool there.

The art style looks promising in the sample image. It looks like a blend between American and Japanese influences. As far as the duration of the animation…I suppose we will just have to be happy with a 22-minute animation featuring Superman and Captain Marvel, but unless the opening and closing credits are completely omitted (or extremely short)…the actual animation is probably only 18-20 minutes long. Also, taking into consideration that it won’t contain commercials…I estimate that it’ll the same length as a WB episode of the JLA.

So, all-in-all…it’s better than nothing.

Personally I like this move. It allows people who have watched the films either through pay-per-view, Netflix instant or just bought the less expensive non-Blu Ray DVD to see the shorts (I am one of those). I don’t think that they will sell tons of these, but enough that they will do a new one every 3 or 4 years.

actually i’m glad this dvd is coming out. i never buy the two disc editions of the dvd’s so i miss out on the shorts. i’d rather buy this disc so i have them all in one place. the two discers we buy are usually more money for very little value. you get bruce timm or someone introducting two episode of like justice league or batman tas that he likes — well i own all of them so i don’t need it. this way i get what i want (the shorts) and it’s one hit, instead of a hit everytime a new dc movie comes out.

as for 22 minutes of new material –> think about the fact that the movies are only 70 minutes at max. so it’s 1/3 new material, and i thought they announced they were going to give us extended versions of at least the Spectre cartoon?

wow 22 mins of new material – gee whiz mr can i give ya my money now!

stick superman on something and they expect ppl to buy it, i thought DC had more respect for its customers.

MadCat — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 17:55:33 +0000

So…this makes putting the shorts in with previously released DVDs pointless? Why add shorts that have already been released(or will be in Green Arrow’s case) and make all new shorts that showcase little known characters and maybe find an audience for someone other than Superman & Batman?

Personal opinion, I have no interest in buying a DVD that is mostly made up of things I’ve already bought and watched!

While the article dosn’t mention the “Clash” episode specifically, it credits O’Connell as “reprising” his roll along with George Newbern, so it’s covered.
