Premise[edit]
Original logo
Unlike earlier animated DC films (most of which also involved Bruce Timm and were part of the DC animated universe), the films in the line are aimed at a more adult audience, often containing profane language, stronger violence, sexual scenes and more mature themes. The films are all rated PG-13 by the MPAA with the exception of All-Star Superman and Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, which are rated PG; while Batman: The Killing Joke and Justice League Dark are rated R. Many of the films are adapted from stories originally featured in DC print comics and graphic novels. Currently, 30 feature films and five short films have been released, with additional films slated for future releases until 2020.[1] The first seventeen films are set in different continuities each other, but since Justice League: War almost all the films are set in the DC Animated Movie Universe.
Most of the films were voice directed by Andrea Romano, the last one being Justice League: Gods and Monsters, while the later films starting with Batman: Bad Blood were voice directed by Wes Gleason. The film are mainly release direct-to-video, but Batman: The Killing Joke and Batman and Harley Quinn are the only ones that were given a limited release in theaters.

Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam, featuring Superman and Captain Marvel, is included with the DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection. It feature George Newbern and Jerry O'Connell reprising their roles of Superman and Captain Marvel from Justice League Unlimited. The short also features Zach Callison as Billy Batson, James Garner as Shazam, Kevin Michael Richardson as Mister Tawky Tawny, Arnold Vosloo as Black Adam, Josh Keaton and Danica McKellar.[94][99] The short is twenty-two minutes, giving it the longest run-time of any short in the series.[93]
DC Showcase: Catwoman, featuring Catwoman, is included with Batman: Year One as a continuation of Catwoman's storyline. The short features Eliza Dushku reprising her role as Catwoman, Liliana Mumy as Holly Robinson and John DiMaggio as Rough Cut.[100] The film also stars Kevin Michael Richardson, Cree Summer and Tara Strong. The short was directed by Lauren Montgomery and written by Paul Dini. A special feature presentation was shown at the New York Comic Con.
Other short films[edit]
Nightwing and Robin is a 45-second short film set during the events of Justice League: Throne of Atlantis. The two main characters are called upon by Batman to find and capture the Scarecrow (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum) since he had to help the Justice League. While Jason O'Mara reprises Batman in this short, only his voice is heard while Nightwing and Robin have no dialogue.[101]
Unannounced projects[edit]
Beyond the list of announced projects, creators involved in various levels at DC Comics have brought up names of possible future projects. Bruce Timm has said that he would like to do a Green Arrow film.[102] DC's executive editor Dan DiDio has expressed interest in seeing the popular 2007–2008 Sinestro Corps War comic storyline adapted.[103] In 2009, Timm expressed his interest to make an animated JLA/Avengers adaptation and mentioned the possibility of an animated film of Crisis on Infinite Earths.[104] Geoff Johns revealed that Warner Bros. wants to use unproduced screenplays as animated films, like J. J. Abrams' Superman: Flyby.[105] Producer James Tucker has spoken about wanting both a Wonder Woman-centered Justice League film, a Superman: Red Son animated film and an animated Batman: The Long Halloween feature-length picture.[106] At Comic-Con, Timm also had expressed interest in an animated Batman R.I.P..[citation needed] Batman: The Killing Joke writer Brian Azzarello had stated that he would like to adapt his novel Joker into an animated film.[107] Both Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill have teased about doing Batman: Hush and Batman: A Death in the Family animated films.[108] Timm has mentioned that a Batman Beyond film is a possibility,[109] and in August 2017, Tucker stated in his Twitter account that discussions about a possible Batman Beyond film occur several times at the studio,[110] while he also stated that a Static Shock feature film set in the DC animated universe is possible as the studio is always interested in Static.[111] In addition, writer J.M. DeMatteis is interested in write an adaptation of his Batman story arc Going Sane and a New Gods film set in the DC Animated Movie Universe.[112][113]
Cancelled projects[edit]
Plans for sequels to the films Wonder Woman and Green Lantern: First Flight were shelved, as well as a planned film based on the 2003 miniseries Batgirl: Year One. Slower sales of the Wonder Woman film were cited,[114][115] although sales figures indicate that it was at least the #8 best-selling of the 25 DC Universe films released as of August 2015 (4 of the films ranked higher than it include Blu-ray sales which have not been released for Wonder Woman). Also, in 2010, Timm stated that the production team originally planned to make an Aquaman film,[116] but at the end, the executives of Warner Bros. cancelled the project because their expectations about marketing were very low.[117] During an interview on October 17, 2016, Jay Oliva confirmed that he has an idea to make a sequel to Batman: Assault on Arkham,[118] but following Oliva's departure from Warner Bros. Animation in 2017,[119] the project may have been pulled.

Gold IRA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A gold IRA or precious metals IRA is an Individual Retirement Account in which physical gold or other approved precious metals are held in custody for the benefit of the IRA account owner. It functions the same as a regular IRA, only instead of holding paper assets, it holds physical bullion coins or bars. Precious metals IRAs are usually self-directed IRAs, a type of IRA where the custodian allows more diverse investments to be held in the account. Gold self-directed IRAs can include other types of retirement accounts such as, Roth IRAs, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, HSA, Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), and 401(k)s.
The four precious metals allowed to be held in an individual retirement account are gold, silver, platinum and palladium, provided they are in the form of IRS-approved coin or bar products. Since gold is the most commonly purchased of the four, the overarching term “gold IRA” is used most often as industry slang to mean a retirement account containing any combination of precious metals. Other terms such as, “precious metals IRA”, “silver IRA”, “platinum IRA”, or “palladium IRA” are also frequently used.
Investors often use precious metals as a long-term hedge against inflation, to diversify their portfolio. Internal Revenue Code requirements state that the approved precious metals must be stored in a specific manner. Some Trustees have in-house facilities to custody the physical precious metals, others use a third party metals depository as a storage facility.

History[edit]
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 broadened the permissible types of investments allowed in IRAs, stating: "Your IRA can invest in one, one-half, one-quarter, or one-tenth ounce U.S. gold coins, or one-ounce silver coins minted by the Treasury Department. Beginning in 1998, your IRA can invest in certain platinum coins and certain gold, silver, palladium, and platinum bullion."[1]
IRA-accepted precious metals[edit]
The IRS approves select precious metals and forms of bullion for IRAs.[2] Although investment in "Collectibles" using IRAs and Qualified Plans is not allowed,[3] there is a carve-out allowing for investment in certain coins, as well as bullion meeting certain fineness requirements.[4][5] There are more advantages to holding gold coins as opposed to bars in a gold IRA in terms of liquidation.[6] Gold bars are more difficult to sell due to their higher price and easier ability to be counterfeited, as well as being more difficult to deliver due to their heaviness and the amount of security required during transport. There are currently a variety of precious metals that meet the minimum purity requirements that are acceptable for inclusion into a gold IRA account. Some gold IRA companies argue inclusion of certain coins in a precious metals IRA; however, several of those companies have been investigated by the government for misleading customers and aggressively selling numismatic coins over gold bullion. Numismatic coins pay the gold company higher commissions, but bullion bars more directly reflect the spot price of the precious metal.

Receiving distributions[edit]
The laws for taking distributions from a gold IRA are the same as those for a regular IRA. The account holder may liquidate their IRA metals for cash or take physical possession of them. Both actions are akin to taking an IRA distribution and will be taxed accordingly.
Storage[edit]
To comply with IRS requirements, all IRAs, including precious metals IRAs, must be in the possession of a trustee or custodian. Therefore, legally speaking, precious metals in an IRA are in the custody of the trustee or custodian, not the IRA owner. IRS Publication 590 specifies that for all IRAs, “The trustee or custodian must be a bank, a federally insured credit union, a savings and loan association, or an entity approved by the IRS to act as trustee or custodian.”[7] Many trustees/custodians use civilian (private) depositories, which may be approved by various commodities exchanges, for storing IRA metals. Security features may include timed locks and automatic re-locking features, 24/7 monitoring, and motion, sound, and vibration detectors. They typically have large insurance policies, with some amounting to as much as $1 billion. There are two types of Gold IRA Storage permitted in depositories: non-segregated, where your assets are mixed with the assets of others; and segregated, where your assets are held separately from other people’s assets.
A Self-storage IRA is a type of Individual Retirement Account that gives owners the option to exercise a high degree of personal control over investments, the potential to reduce or eliminate administrative fees and, in certain cases, to determine the physical location in which assets are stored. Other terms used for these accounts include “checkbook IRA," “LLC IRA” or "home storage IRA.” The self-storage IRA is a form of self-directed IRA. Storing Gold IRA products in the IRA owner's home or in a safe deposit box to which the IRA owner maintains a right of access is not within the letter or spirit of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e., the tax-advantaged IRA assets should be held outside the possession and personal control of the IRA owner until retirement or early distribution). The Self-Storage IRA arrangement has not been approved or recognized by the Internal Revenue Service - formally or in a no-action letter issued by the IRS, Employee Plans Division. The Self-Storage IRA arrangement presents a material financial risk to the IRA owner as the Internal Revenue Service may deem the Self-Storage IRA arrangement a "distribution" from the IRA, and this will result in a tax liability (taxing the IRA assets as if the IRA assets were not tax-advantaged assets when they were first purchased) and imposition of a tax penalty upon the IRA owner. The IRS recently stated to the Wall Street Journal that investors should "[8]be wary of anyone claiming that precious metals held in your IRA can be stored at home or in a safe-deposit box” and updated its IRA FAQ's to specify that bullion must be in the possession of the IRA trustee/provider.
