The Batman getting a full remaster for February 2022 Blu-Ray launch

One of DC Comics’ best loved animated series’, The Batman is finally getting the full remastered treatment and a fresh launch on home video.

The Batman Returns

With a film of the same name arriving in 2022, Warner Bros and DC are heading back into the animated-vault for a brand new revisitation. This time it’s for The Batman, as in the cartoon show.

The Batman kicked off in 2004, and ran for 4 seasons across both WB and Cartoon Network. The show debuted a much younger Bruce Wayne than we’d seen before, and was almost an extended origin story. It also introduced many of the hero’s foes, as well as Robin and Batgirl.

Some of these takes were pretty unique too. If you’ve ever seen the Joker’s portrayal, it’s… different. Still, the show had a quality to it that hadn’t been seen since the iconic Batman: The Animated Series, and told some excellent stories. Now you’ll be able to add all of them to your own library as well, thanks to the new Blu-Ray collection.

Set for release this coming February, the set will include all 65 episodes of the show, on both Blu-Ray and digital formats.
