Justice League - The
Complete Series
(Warner Animation/DVD Set)

Few series have made as resounding a
contribution to the annals of superhero animation than Warner's Justice League. Throughout both its incarnations as Justice League and then Justice League Unlimited the creative
team (including principals Bruce Timm and Dwayne McDuffie) maintained an
incredible standard of quality in plots, stories, and overall direction. This collection combines it all. Ninety-one episodes, fourteen discs,
and really slick metallic slip-case truly make this the ultimate collection for
the avid Justice League fan.
The set contains all of the extras from previous releases, including creator
commentaries, making-of shorts, and interviews. Additionally, a new feature entitled Unlimited Reserve: Exploring the Depths of
the DC Universe has been included. This
documentary addresses the creative team's quest to include some of the more
obscure DC heroes and villains in the mix of the show. Indeed, Justice
League Unlimited fans well
know the show's penchant for highlighting lesser lights like B'wana Beast,
Mister Miracle, and Kirby 4th World villain Granny Goodness.
Just in time for the holidays, Justice
League – The Complete Series will be the ultimate gift for any superhero animation fan, and its
wonderful bevy of extras and solid packaging will make it worthy of numerous
screenings.
The older shows are
presented in 1.33 X 1 and sequel show in anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1,
looking just fine for the format. All
