Both the Special Edition and Blu-ray versions will include the first in a new series of animated shorts, DC Showcase:  The Spectre.  The Spectre will be written by Steve Niles; the voice cast will include Gary Cole and Alyssa Milano.  Both will also include The New World, a documentary featurette about Brad Meltzer’s Identity Crisis narrated by Michael Uslan; a sneak peak at the next DC Universe Animated feature; and two episodes of Justice League Unlimited hand-picked by Bruce Timm. 

 

In addition to those extras, the Blu-ray version will include two additional episodes of Justice League Unlimited, plus TV pilots for the live action shows Wonder Woman and Aquaman.
