Best Buy Exclusive All Star Superman Figurine

Just like they’ve done for many, many other DC direct-to-DVD movies in the past, Best Buy is rolling out an exclusive figure!  The picture’s a little small, but it looks like either Superman in the white costume solar suit from his battle with Solaris, or possibly the Kryptonian astronaut Bar-El. Can anyone provide a little more information?

Edit: Having seen the bigger picture now, it’s Superman in his solar suit, right before the battle with Solaris.

This time, for All Star Superman, it’s a white-costumed Superman.  Here’s a rundown of the previous Best Buy figures for you:

• Superman/Batman Public Enemies – Superman figure
• Superman/Batman Apocalypse - Batman figure
• Batman Under a Red Hood – Red Hood
• Justice League Crisis on Two Earths – Owlman
• Justice League New Frontier – Hal Jordan

There’s also been two exclusive Infinite Heroes figures, one for Wonder Woman, and one for Green Lantern.

Timm Talks Green Lanterns

MTV’s splash page has this interview with Bruce Timm about both the Green Lantern Animated Series and Green Lantern Emerald Knights direct-to-DVD movie. Emerald Knights takes a page out of Gotham Knights and features 6 interlocking tales of the Green Lantern Corps, while the animated series will be an extensive cosmic adventure dealing with the rage of the Red Lanterns so don’t expect appearances by Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman, or the Black Lanterns for that matter, any time soon.

Super Hero Squad Season 1 on DVD. In Canada.

Canadians were the first to get the complete Wolverine and the X-Men animated series, and now they’re the first to get the complete Super Hero Squad Season 1 which, according to TVShows on DVD will be out on September 28 for $29.98 Canadian.  Dear the US: Please stop buying volume 1 through Eleventy of a series because it only encourages rights holders to release a handful of episodes on DVD at a time, and that sucks.  Head over to the message board to discuss.

The Complete Batman Beyond on DVD

In the tradition of the Complete Batman the Animated Series, TVShowsonDVD reports that Warner Brothers is putting out the Complete Batman Beyond!  A 9-disc set, featuring an art book and all 53 episodes of the series.  This is great news, and hopefully, following the Complete Batman, Complete Superman and Complete Justice League, we can expect a complete set of The Batman and Teen Titans some day.  More importantly, Static Shock and the Legion of Super Heroes still haven’t seen complete DVD releases, so they’d be great additions to the library!  Head over to the message board to discuss.
