Serial Experiments: Lain is an almost bewilderingly strange and wonderful 13-episode anime series that explored the possibilities of the web, and the interconnectedness of people, before that was a big thing (1998) – and clearly a forerunner to blockbuster films like The Matrix.

Batman: Son of Batman Blu-ray Review
Even Batman can get roofied. It was only a matter of time before DC Animation got around to bringing Damian Wayne, the spoiled love child between Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Ghul and one of the most polarizing Batman sidekicks in history to the Animated universe.
