Warner Bros. (WB) has shut down their straight-to-video-division, Warner Premiere (WP). WP was created at the height of the DVD boom in the mid-2000’s, when people used to buy movies from a DVD format. Since digital has become the boom of this next decade, DVDs have sank. Here’s what WB says:
“Given the continuing decline in the direct-to-video film market and shifting business models in the production of digital series, the decision was made to close Warner Premiere,” the company said in a release. “The division will continue and complete production on its remaining film and digital series project into the fall. In addition, the evaluation of potential digital content will be folded into Warner Bros. Digital Distribution, and Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video will continue to produce and release animated films, such as Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry and DC Universe.”
How does this affect us, Batman fans? Hmm…well Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 is 
coming out as a DVD and digital download on Septemeber 25th. So…will we be receiving this? But, of course you shall because you are “The People.” I’m sorry I had to go there with the Bane monologue (funny). Anyway, yes you will be getting Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 as scheduled that has not been affected at all.
