To celebrate 10 years of DC Universe animated original movies, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will be releasing a comprehensive box set containing all 30 films, 5 animated shorts plus new special features and exclusive collectible items, to be available on November 7, 2017 on Blu-ray. The entire 30-film set will be available on digital starting August 15, 2017.
Launched in 2007 with the landmark release of Superman Doomsday, the DC Universe Original Movies are based on or inspired by storylines and/or characters from within the ever-expanding DC library. Produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation, the stories range from films based upon iconic DC Super Hero stories (Superman Doomsday, Justice League: The New Frontier, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: The Killing Joke) to films inspired by themes from within DC history (Batman vs. Robin was inspired by “The Court of Owls,” Superman vs. The Elite was inspired by “What’s so Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?”) to original stories (Justice League: Gods and Monsters, Batman and Harley Quinn).

But how much will it cost?
With 32 discs, I suspect quite a lot.
If it’s less than $150 I will be pleasantly surprised, but I’m keeping an open mind 🙂
They will be announcing details of the special features later, in August when the digital releases happen, so I expect that the prices for both the digital and physical versions will be known by early August.
