Justice League: War Blu-Ray Content Details

Justice League: War, the next direct-to-video animated film from DC Entertainment and the first to fully embrace DC Comics' New 52 universe, will be released on Blu-Ray and DVD February 4, 2014.

Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Shazam and, in his origin story, Cyborg combine their respective talents in an all-out battle to save the planet.
