Cool! I totally forgot about this! I love docs about comics. I'll probably get this to harass my non-geek friends with. Thanks for the reminder, Ed. :)

Btw, Ed, I left you a comment on the Batman '89 article. :)

Excellent documentary on the history of DC Comics.

I found it similar to the History Channel's "Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked" documentary, and that's a GOOD thing! Only of course, this one focuses more on DC.

@Duke

I saw that yesterday and bit miffed as it'l still be region 1, only one dvd player in the house with region 1 and its a pain to set up. Highly doubt we'll get a region 2 copy, hell I had to order in the Green Lantern animated film in through my LCS. Least the latest superman/batman came over, so there is hope.

Ain't it always the way? What's with these different regions, anyway? I never understood it with VHS and I don't understand it with DVD. I guess it's for greedy economical reasons, 'cause there's really no need for different regions otherwise.
Can you imagine if comics and Graphic Novels were different regions? That might happen when digital finally kills print.
