Toonzone.net has once again broken the news on Warner Home Video's plans for the animated superhero DVD releases that are coming down the pike. There was just too much for individual news stories, so we'll do a quick wrap-up here. Click the link above to read the news in the original story, but here are the main points:

Batman Beyond

....(more) DVDs will be released later in the year. The next single disc release is expected to hit shelves around the same time as the Batman: The Animated Series multi-disc set. According to preliminary information, which is subject to change, the DVDs will keep the "six episodes per disc" format...WB states they still plan to release every episode of Batman Beyond to DVD.

Teen Titans

...see their first DVD release later this year...the DVD is currently set to feature the first four episodes, at least, of the series. The disc will feature the same format as WB's past single disc releases.

Justice League

After the release of "Stacrossed: The Movie," expect the Justice League DVDs to pick up where they left off. Current plans are for the series to resume production order, although that is also subject to change. Another Justice League DVD, after "Starcrossed: The Movie," is set to be released in the fall. Future volumes of Justice League will consist for four to six episodes. A Direct To Video feature release is also in the works, though it is currently unscheduled.

Static Shock

WB also exclusively informed Toon Zone that Static Shock will make it's premiere on DVD in the fall, as well. It is currently scheduled to be released in single volume format, as well. Nothing else is known at the time about this release.

X-Men: Evolution

WB confirms that by the end of 2004, the first and second seasons of X-Men: Evolution will be available on DVD. WB recently announced a third (season two) DVD volume of X-Men: Evolution for a June release this year. Current plans are to continue to release every single episode of X-Men: Evolution on to DVD. According to sources, expect four DVDs a year until the series is complete.

ToonZone.net wraps their story by pointing out that "episodes counts will now range from four to six episodes per release, decided on a case by case basis. The single disc releases will also remain as snapper case releases." Stay tuned, and we'll have more details about each of these upcoming DVDs just as soon as the word comes across.
