Batman: Mask of the Phantasm -- I think that was, what, '92?

There are other direct-to-video Diniverse flicks, but I'm assuming here you just mean theatrical releases.

[roguespirit]

actually thats a good point I hadn't thought of that. Not sure if we are gonna include animation on this particular cast but let me know what other one's there are because I'm sure we're gonna use that at some point if not on this one

[Blake Petit]

Sure. "Mask of the Phantasm" went theatrical, but direct-to-video flicks include:

Batman: Sub-Zero
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Superman and Batman: World's Finest
Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
Superman: Brainiac Attacks

And that new Teen Titans go to Tokyo one, the name of which escapes me at the moment.

Cheers Blake.

Any last minute additions from anyone?

[choptop]

so we get no DC comics movies in 07 wtf?

[Donald M.]

The list looks pretty complete to me, though I don't think Up the Academy really belongs on it.

It wasn't actually based on anything that ever appeared in the Mad but rather was an abortive attempt to replicate the success of National Lampoon's Animal House, which was at least actually based on stories that appeared in said magazine.

The movie was such a flop that Mad basically disowned it.
