The Cat’s Out of the (DC Animated) Bag
 |
?Turns out the short DC is packing with its next direct-to-DVD animated movie, i.e. Batman: Year One, is going to center around Catwoman. That should be groovy. Some of the shorts DC’s been making have been better than their actual features, and there’s a lot of good Catwoman stories to tell (none of which appeared in the live-action Catwoman movie). Additionally, DC’s next animated feature after Year One will be called Justice League: Doom, which means… nothing, I guess, other than it’ll be its own thing like Crisis on Two Earths. One can only hope it’s about the Legion of Doom and their nefarious attempt to acquire pants. (Via Robot 6)
