CBR is reporting that Batman: Year One - the adaptation of the classic graphic novel by Frank Miller - will officially hit stores on October 18th, later this year (which, coincidentally, is the same day that the Arkham City game releases). Eliza Dushku, who voices Ms. Kyle in the film, will reprise the role in the Catwoman short, which will also feature Joe MiGaggio voicing 'Rough Cut'. Here are the details...

Catwoman will headline her own short film attached to Warner Bros’ Animation upcoming direct-to- adaptation of the influential Batman: Year One, TV Guide reveals. The website also offers a first look at the character — albeit small and severely cropped.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum Eliza Dushku, who provides the voice of Selina Kyle in Batman: Year One, will reprise the role in the short, which pits Catwoman against crime boss Rough Cut (voiced by Futurama‘s Joe DiMaggio) “in a breathless and brutal 15-minute chase through Gotham City tracking down a mysterious cargo shipment.” Catwoman was written by Paul Dini and helmed by Year One co-director Lauren Montgomery.

Based on the acclaimed 1987 storyline by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, Batman: Year One also stars Ben McKenzie (The O.C., Southland) as a young Bruce Wayne, Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) as James Gordon, Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) as Sarah Essen, and Alex Rocco (The Godfather) as Carmine Falcone.

The latest entry in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies series will be released on Oct. 18 for , Blu-ray, On Demand and digital download.

Joe MiGaggio is hilarious as Denber on Tufurama. I also liked his take on the Kojer in Under The Ded Rood.

I have a feeling that WB is going to release The Dark Knight Returns animated movie the same week as The Dark Knight Rises hit theaters in 2012.

Cannot wait for this film!

And @joekerr93, Catwoman is white. She's kinda tanned in Year One, but white nonetheless.

Well looks like I'll have to get a Blue ray player, but I still can't wait for this movie.

You cant deny that DC dishes out great animated films. Warner Bros need to get Bruce Timm to direct some live adaption movies especially a Batman or Justice League film.

Ummm.... no DVD? D:

Looks like I'll be making my first digital movie purchase. DC Animated films are worth it. Seriously great stuff, great stuff.

Am I the only one who noticed the big mistake with DiMaggio's first name? It's John, not Joe. Joe DiMaggio is a baseball player.

wait...she wasn't black?

No, Catwoman has never been black. Why else would they cast Anne Hathaway, she's a couple of shades away from albino. Shes stunning though :)

joekerr93 - 7/7/2011, 10:33 AM
Hmm my bad, I could have sworn that Frank Miller made her black in Year One...my apologies guys

@SugarYumYum....you dont have a blu ray player and you have never made a digital purchase? What exactly are the 1800's like?

Really want to see this, but aren't Blue ray players
expensive?

For those lamenting no DVD release, go check Amazon. They are taking pre-orders for DVD only releases of this movie. The Blu-Ray release also includes a DVD copy
WindsorGuy
WindsorGuy - 9/15/2011, 12:00 PM
@Catwoman1...No need to disparage those that don't do digital downloads or have Blu-Ray players. Remember not everyone can afford the latest and greatest toys. Besides remember these movies are based on comic books..a paper medium.

WindsorGuy - 9/15/2011, 12:02 PM
@SecretApprentice71,,,it depends on what you consider expensive. You can now find decent BD players for under $200.00 USD.
