The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

DC Showcase: Green Arrow is a 2010 short animated film, directed by Joaquim Dos Santos and written by Greg Weisman, featuring Neal McDonough as Green Arrow, who must protect a young princess, Perdita, from Count Vertigo. The film was released on September 28, 2010 as a bonus feature on the Superman/Batman: Apocalypse DVD. It is the third of the DC Showcase series and was included on the compilation DVD DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection in an extended version. Greg Weisman considers DC Showcase: Green Arrow to be adjacent to the animated series Young Justice, meaning a version of its events happened within the series's continuity. The character of Perdita, who originated in DC Showcase: Green Arrow, appeared as a recurring character in Young Justice. In 2022, the comic series Young Justice: Targets showed the canon version of these events, which has differences to the short. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
