Thankfully, that's all about to change.
Announced today on Wired.com, and spear-headed by the animation genius that is Bruce Timm, DC Comics and Warner Bros. will add new animated shorts to their marquee character DVD releases, in a move that nods to both the popularity of Batman: Brave and the Bold, and the history of 'back-up' strips in the pages of DC comics.
With the animated rarity of the back-up features threatening to over-flavour the 'main event' for deprived comic fans, the first slice served will be The Spectre (voiced by Gary Cole), as part of the Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths feature package, due out February 23rd.

While disfigured cowboy/antihero, Jonah Hex is the only other short to be announced so far, these spots represent a great opportunity for some of DC's best to gain a bit of mass recognition, and even stand as 'tryouts' for their own 'standalone DVD.
