Does it come with Japanese audio or is it English dub only?

There is a sub. I posted it on this thread, somewhen. I'm not sure if it's on the Blu-Ray or not as the information on Amazon is a bit bare bones at the moment, but I don't see why not.
Some more info from Den of Geek

Even if it is the original language of the production I'm not sure I could watch Batman in Japanese. That just seems wrong.

I liked the idea of it, and I do like Joker.

Spoiler: Wrong?

 

[ayase]

Yeah, I'm not sure I can adequately explain the ways in which that looks even more wrong than I expected.

Reminds me of watching the new KH III trailer and hearing all the Toy Story/Monster's Inc characters in Japanese. I'm so used to the English that it just seems strange to me.

They should have gotten Adam West to do the voice of Batman he already has experience in voice acting from Family Guy

Edit: He died last June

Once I've unboxed it I'll know if it's groovy, baby!

That’s no then otherwise you’d already feel your levels of groovy rising, baby!

Ah but I can't feel the levels of groove until I have it in my hand and admire its fabulous exterior, baby!

Now I think about it this might explain why the set is on backorder with DeepDiscount.

I guess that isn’t somewhat of a valid point, baby!

Helps me easily identify people with poor taste.

The conglomeration of the Anime industry continues....

Last year Sony bought Funimation. Now, their subsidiary Aniplex has acquired a minority share in Madman Entertainment in Australia.

I guess that explains why the Sony/Univeral releases in AU have dried up, and certain titles' continuations are now coming through Madman.

I wonder if any UK distro is big enough anymore to be bought out, the way Manga has been on more than one occasion.
