But perhaps the most talked about bonus features included are the eagerly anticipated first looks at the upcoming titles Hulk Vs. Wolverine and Hulk Vs. Thor.

Marvel does Teen Titans.

I did NOT see that coming.

Regarding Marvel and there animated films. I have and watched the first two Avenger dvd releases and found them boring as hell. Which is unfortunate because I still really someday want to check out the ones based on Ironman, and Dr Strange but fear they'll only dissappoint.

Thus far I've been pretty impressed with DCs more adult aimed dvd series and look forward to Wonderwoman due out later this year or early next. It's a shame they never followed through with Teen Titans-The Judas Contract.

DC cartoon movies have all been :failtactular

Batman Mask of the Phantasm and Batman Beyond: the Return of the Joker are still my favorite superhero cartoon movies.

Disagrees.

I didn't have much love for the Doomsday/Superman one but the JL New Fontiers and Batman Gotham Knight were pretty solid.

DC's Teen Titan's Trouble in Tokyo however was beyond Bad fanfiction more than anything and nowhere near as interesting entertaining as what a twenty minute cartoon plot line can pack in.

I agree however about Mask of the Phantasm. Until TDK came out that was my favorite Batman movie ever. Now it's a close second.

Batman Beyond is an awesome serries. Never yet saw the Return of Joker. Wasn't that just a handfull of eps strung together into a movie from the second season. Has yet to actually see the second season.

Return of the Joker was it's own thing, there's a TV version of it, but it's cut up pretty badly, to lower the rating, as the DVD is rated PG-13
