Warner Bros. Animation has a busy year this year as they’ve previously brought out the expansive Death of Superman film and we had the follow-up with the Reign of the Supermen. We recently saw Justice League vs. The Fatal Five and we’ve also got that Batman Vs The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film out there as well. Now, the focus is shifting to Batman: Hush, which was revealed to be in production for release this coming summer. The film got its digital release back on July 20th, 2019 and it’ll show up later this month on the DC Universe streaming service. It’s also got an August 13th, 2019 home video release and because of that we now have a new dub clip that’s come in giving us some time with Poison Ivy as played by Peyton List with Catwoman voiced by Jennifer Morrison getting along infamously. The 4K set is priced at $39.99 while the DVD/BD combo is priced at $24.98 and Digital HD at $19.98.
Extras for the set include:
- DC Showcase: Sgt. Rock (Animated Short) – From executive producer and director Bruce Timm comes the first new DC Showcase animated short since 2011’s Catwoman, bringing DC Comics’ gritty World War II hero to animated life in an all-new adventure.

Plot Concept: Batman: Hush centers on a mysterious new villain known only as Hush, who uses a rogues’ gallery of villains to destroy Batman’s crime-fighting career as well as Bruce Wayne’s personal life, which has been further complicated by a relationship with Selina Kyle/Catwoman.
