Warner Home Video Announces Two New Animated “Batman Double Feature” Releases
Four previously-released animated movies featuring Batman are getting repackaged in two new home video DVD releases. Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero, Batman Beyond: The Movie, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, and The Batman Versus Dracula, all previously released on four separate DVD titles, will get packaged together for two new upcoming releases from Warner Home Video. These two new Batman Double Features DVD releases bring together previously-released content in new affordable titles. The following releases join the wave of animated DC Comics content previously announced to hit home video shelves in October 2012, with details on those titles available here. Continue below for cover artwork and official press details for these two latest Batman Double Feature DVD titles.
Batman Double Feature – Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero / Batman Beyond: The Movie
Release Date: October 9th, 2012
Synopsis: Battle battles his biggest foes in two action-paced features. Batman faces his coolest case ever in Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero when Batgirl is kidnapped by the cold-blooded villain Mr. Freeze. And as new villains overrun Gotham City of the future, a triumphant new Batman is born in Batman Beyond: The Movie.
Batman Double Feature – Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / The Batman Versus Dracula
Release Date: October 9th, 2012
Synopsis: Battle battles his biggest foes in two action-paced features. It is no laughing matter when the greatest villain of all comes out of the past to threaten Batman, Bruce Wayne and all of Gotham in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. And in the Batman vs Dracula, Gotham City sleeps under the cover of darkness while two legendary bats take flight.
The bonus content on the above listed releases will be identical to the initial releases for each title. The same content is simply being repackaged in a new release. All four titles features in the new Batman Double Feature releases have been part of previous similar DVD titles, released multiple times over the past fifteen years. Batman Double Feature – Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero / Batman Beyond: The Movie and Batman Double Feature – Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / The Batman Versus Dracula will both hit shelves on October 9th, 2012 for the MSRP of $14.99. Details on previous releases for the above animated features are available right here at The World’s Finest but exploring the subsites dedicated to the content features on the above titles.
Demand for the Blu-ray releases of animated Batman and DC Comics content – particularly Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero – remains high in the fan community. A Blu-ray release for Batwoman: Mystery of the Batman, set to hit shelves earlier this year but delayed without explanation, remains ready to hit the home video market once scheduled.
Stay tuned for further updates on these titles and other upcoming home video releases here soon at The World’s Finest.

When will Batman: Mask of the Phantasm be re-released on DVD?

I have all these films. Not in these packs, but haven’t they re-released them enough?

I have the un-cut edition of Batman Beyond: Return of The Joker ,however it’s scratched and whenever I watch it, it’s horrible, so I hope this one that’s being advertised is the un-cut version!:-)
I’m glad Batman/Mr. Freeze SUBZERO is being re-released, haven’t seen that one in a LONG time and The Batman vs Dracula!
Hope they get shipped over to the UK! 🙂
