For anyone that doesnt know what this is, its a little web creation from Joss Whedon and a few other guys. 3 short web episodes following a "supervillain" Dr Horrible... only in musical form. The first debuted last night on drhorrible.com, second will be Thurs and last will be Saturday.
It stars Neil Patrick Harris (Starship Troopers, Doogie Howser M.D) and Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Serenity, Buffy, Slither) in the lead roles.
Its the funnest 15 minutes I've had on the comp for a while, the singing is good and comically well written (anyone that has seen Once More With Feeling has the idea) and I quite like the story itself.
Anyone else caught it yet?

Yes, I have seen it (thanks to my wife’s laptop’s connectivity), and yes, it is the awesome.
Anyone who’s a fan of Joss – or brothers Jed and Zack, and soon-to-be sister-in-law Marissa Tarounchen (sp??) – Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day (The Guild web series, Vi the Potential on BtVS), Nathan Fillion, super-villains and heroes, musicals, silliness, cynicism, frozen yogurt, laundromats, or productions which bypass the studio system entirely should go to drhorrible.com NOW.
(And I do mean now – it’s being pulled from the web by Monday. Eventually to be available as a paid download or on DVD – with extras including singing commentary – but the free playing of all three parts on the site will be coming to an end.)
Cameos by other Mutant Enemy writer/producers and work by Whedon vets including Lisa Lassek, Shawna Trpic, and Zoic added bonuses for fans of Firefly/Serenity, Buffy, and Angel.

Not precisely. The general expectation is by December; but, they're still accepting "Evil League of Evil" applications - the best of which will be included in another special feature - so work on the content won't be done for another few weeks, at least.Halfshell wrote: Can't wait for the singing commentary. Have we got a DVD ETA yet?
