A listing for Batman Beyond - The Animated Series has surfaced on Amazon France with a release date of October 30. A Blu-ray upgrade has not yet been announced by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, who in October 2018 premiered Batman: The Complete Animated Series on Blu-ray.

According to the listing on Amazon France, Batman Beyond will be released for the first time on Blu-ray in a four-disc standard edition, priced around $67 USD, and a six-disc Deluxe Edition, priced around $112 USD.

The complete Batman Beyond set will include all 52 episodes across three seasons as well as direct-to-video feature film Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, which saw Batman: The Animated Series star Mark Hamill reprise his role as the Joker. The film was earlier issued as a standalone Blu-ray in 2011.

Amazon France also lists a bonus disc and a total runtime of 1144 minutes.

It's not yet known what collectible extras are included in the Batman Beyond Deluxe Edition, but the preceding 12-disc Batman: The Complete Animated Series Deluxe Limited Edition set included three Funko Pocket POPS figurines, lenticular collector cards and two bonus discs featuring animated films Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is likely to announce the set at San Diego Comic-Con Thursday, July 18, where it hosts a Batman Beyond 20th Anniversary panel.

Producer Bruce Timm and stars Kevin Conroy and Will Friedle are among the guests featured on the Hall H panel, which promises to offer fans "exclusive prizes and cool announcements," per a Warner Bros. Home Entertainment press release.

Animation, Batman Beyond won two Emmy Awards and three Annie Awards as it captured the imaginations of a new generation of Batman fans, setting new standards for super hero storytelling with innovative designs, outstanding voice acting and an intriguing approach to DC's iconic characters and stories.
