I've always imagined that if they were to release the KTMA episodes, it would most likely be via streaming service. That would be of lowest possible cost to Shout while the audience would get to pick and choose whether they want the episodes in their collection.
Should they ever hit disc, they would probably do a limited online exclusive run and let the collectors run it down then wash their hands of it. But that might not be feasible with film licensing issues.
It's probably not going to happen, but those would be the avenues that I would explore, at any rate.

Small add-on - Marc Bernardin's own words on the Joker trailer:

Good luck with the theater! I have some places my nostalgia wishes were still around myself.
That's pretty much what Bernardin's argument boils down to whenever Kevin Smith brings up the Joker movie on Fatman Beyond. Smith is all "F*** YEAH JOKER MOVIE" and Bernardin is all "Ehhhhh...sure, I guess." He likes the character as a mystery, and that why it can be debated that Heath Ledger was the best on-screen portrayal of the character, partially because we knew almost nothing about him. He was just there, and that made him scarier.
I think it also might boil down to making the Joker a main character. I'm sure there is an approach to it that can make it work, but the Joker just works so better as that unstoppable force that the primary protagonist needs to stop. If the Joker IS that protagonist, then it needs one hell of a delivery to make something out of him.
But this is just me spitballing. It's very likely the movie is good to great, and I'll see it regardless. It's just that the trailer hasn't floored me like other people.

We have a lot of Edwards/Regal cinemas over here in Idaho.
Joker has never really had a definitive origin. The Ace Chemicals story is probably the one most well known, but it comes and goes depending on how mysterious the writer wants to make the character. It was adapted in the 89 movie and was also shown recently on Gotham.
But my feeling on this movie is that it feels like some clip reel some douchey film student put together to say "THIS is what I'd make if Hollywood gave me the money," causing people to roll their eyes and say "Thank GOD they didn't give it to you." It felt very...nothing to me. Like it was trying to be neat and deep but felt shallow. But it's a trailer. The film could potentially be more impressive.
I like Phoenix as the Joker, indifferent to the director (hated The Hangover), but I'm going to habmve to side with Marc Bernardin when he says the Joker is less interesting when we know more about him, and is better used as a foil for someone else. This movie just feels like a mistake.

I'm not sure if we have any AMC theaters around here. Even if we did, I'm not sure my ass would ever forgive me if I sat through three days of nonstop Marvel movies in one theater. If there were beds, free food, and nap times, then maybe. Even still, by the time I got to Endgame, I'd be so dazed that I probably wouldn't k ow what I was watching.
So I'll stay content with my one-a-day marathon, which starts tomorrow! I'll also be seeing Shazam, so I'll be wrapped up in some super shenanigans.
Also, this dropped today.
Personally I didn't care for it, but everyone seems to dig it. Dunno.

I can't book my tickets until payday. I'm getting nervous. I really want to see if I can find an all day Avengers marathon of all four movies.

I'm still kind of on Cloud Nine about this, like you guys wouldn't believe. And here I thought Matthew J. Elliott, Ian Potter, and Alan Bagh were going to be my biggest "get."

All the boys go crazy for April. She's so cool, so popular. She's just the best. I hear she's dating the captain of the football team!
And she's besties with the Ninja Turtles too!

My Twitter for my blog...just got followed by a porn star.
No seriously. Diana Prince, who now plays Darcy the Mail Girl on Joe Bob Brigg's The Last Drive-In, liked a dumb little tweet I made then followed me. I'm shocked, honored, and a little turned on.

Disappointed that MST didn't riff all the Gamera movies? Maybe you'll be interested in checking out this new fan series called MST3K vs. Gamera: Round II! MST3K, Rifftrax, and Beyond has published our revoew of the first episode, Gamera vs. Viras, and we think it's worth a look!

Hey there! Good job on this! I've watched about fifteen minutes of it and I'm really digging it!
