Plenty of of fanboys are anticipating the new Justice League DVD ‘Crisis on Two Earths,’ which premieres on Feb. 23, but that disc will also give birth to a new DC must-see home movie when the Dark Knight saga ‘Batman: Under the Red Hood’ launches one of its first promos.

Written by Judd Winick and based on his 2005 Batman comics story line, it’s Batman versus another vigilante, Red Hood, who doesn’t mind cleaning up Gotham by leaving dead bodies in his wake. Animated guru Bruce Timm exec produces this pretty violent look into crime on the streets, and it’s directed by ‘Superman Doomsday’ co-director Brandon Vietti, with a cavalcade of stars as voice talent. It all starts with Bruce Greenwood (‘Star Trek’) as Batman, then continues with ‘Supernatural’ star Jensen Ackles as Red Hood, Neil Patrick Harris (‘How I Met Your Mother’) as Nightwing, John DiMaggio (‘Futurama’) as the Joker and Jason Isaacs (the Harry Potter films) as Ra’s Al Ghul.

This was one of the most popular story lines to come out of Batman in recent history. Will you watch?
