Justice League: War, the latest entry in the series of DC Animated Original Movies, is coming home as a Blu-ray Combo Pack ($24.98 SRP), DVD ($19.98 SRP) and Digital HD on February 4. (The Combo Pack will also include Digital HD with UltraViolet.)
Here's the official synopsis from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment: "When the powerful Darkseid and his massive, relentless forces invade Earth, a group of previously unaligned super heroes -- misunderstood and, in some cases, hunted by the authorities -- discover the only way to fend off the attack will be to work together as a cohesive unit. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Shazam and, in his origin story, Cyborg combine their respective talents in an all-out battle to save the planet."
The movie is based on Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's 2012 graphic novel Justice League: Origin, and presents the first animated incarnation of DC's New 52.
Justice League: War also features an impressive voice cast including Jason O'Mara (Terra Nova) as Batman, Justin Kirk (Weeds) as Green Lantern, Shemar Moore (Criminal Minds) as Cyborg, Michelle Monaghan (Source Code) as Wonder Woman, Christopher Gorham (Covert Affairs) as Flash, Alan Tudyk (Firefly) as Superman, Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings) as Shazam, and Rocky Carroll (NCIS) as Silas Stone. On the villain front, Steve Blum (Cowboy Bebop, The Legend of Korra) provides the voice of Darkseid, and Bruce Thomas (Legally Blonde) voices Desaad.
Bonus content includes:
Featurette - Deconstructing Justice League: War - Part commentary, part documentary, director Jay Oliva teams up with artist Jim Lee as they compare and contrast the comic-to-screen process of some of the most memorable moments in the film.
Featurette - Creating Heroes: The Life and Art of Jim Lee - This documentary film explores the work of master artist Jim Lee, from his early days to his current position as co-Publisher of DC Entertainment and his comic collaboration with Geoff Johns.
Making Of - Justice League: War Act D - From animatic to pencil test, the final stanza of the film.
A Sneak Peak at Son of Batman - An advance look into the next DCU Animated Original Movie with the creators and cast.
From the DC/Warner Bros. Animation Vault - 4 Bonus Cartoons.

Batman: Year One
Justice League: Doom
Superman vs. The Elite

Son of Batman
On July 20, 2013, as part of the San Diego Comic-Con, DC Comics announced on Twitter a new animated feature, Son of Batman. The film will be based on Grant Morrison's "Batman & Son" storyline.
This should be fucking awesome. Morrison's "All-Star Superman" translated really well to movie form. I'd live to see them turn Morrison's entire Batman run into animated movies.

Yeah I'm looking forward to Batman And Son. Damian is my favorite Robin. All Star Superman was on HBO the other day and Justice League Doom is on today!
