Season sets after all?
7/19/2003

Back in April we reported that Warner management, in an online chat, stated there were no plans to release Batman: The Animated Series in season set form (and no plans to release Superman: The Animated Seris on DVD at all). Reaction was immediate, even among members of the chat, who continued to pester Warner for season sets.

Well, Warner is listening! Jim Harvey at ToonZone.net has posted this information:

Announced during the Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman San Diego Comicon panel, expect DVD box sets for Batman: The Animated Series to hit shelves in the near future.

During the panel for Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, a Warner Bros. representative confirmed that Batman: The Animated Series, as well as Superman: The Animated Series, would be given box set treatments.

This is great news for fans of the cartoon, who have been largely disatisfied with the best-of releases. And you can thank Warner Brothers by picking up Mystery of the Batwoman on its upcoming release: since it wasn't part of the TV Series (it's a new direct-to-video release), you don't have to worry about buying it twice!

Our thanks to Patrick McCart for sharing.

Thankfully I only bought the first disc they released. Luckily, WB started putting only 4 eps on the discs, which pissed me off enough not to buy them.

Please do this one right WB!

Dead By Dawn

This would be fantastic!!! After being let down by the first Batman disc, I said to myself: Screw WB, I'll watch my old tapes or catch reruns on cable.

Now if only we could get sets of:

X-men - original show
X-men Evolution
Justice League

I am so willing to spend my $$$ on season sets.

What about Spiderman: The Animated TV series both the old one and the new one? Any word on that?

cactusoly

Damn. I just started to get TV greats from columbiahouse because I thought they would never get released otherwise.

Iron_Giant

I would like to see a date annouced for the set.

Bluebomber

Whew! Glad I only bought the first volume of Batman now, easier to dump that and wait for a box.

PixyJunket

Okay.. now aren't the current DVDs out in production order?

Kolchak

When is WB gonna make Samurai Jack season sets or atleast release the rest of the series on dvd.This is one of my favorite cartoons of all time!

PixyJunket

Amen to that!! I think it may happen, just not now. The show is still new and staying strong on CN's lineup..

kidindy

I'd really like to see Samurai Jack in season sets. Even though each episode can be watched separately I'd like to watch them in order.

Morf

Oh yeah! Although I'd still like to hear a release date, this is still

CloudVader

No word on the others, and slightly off-topic here, but you might like to know that tvshowsondvd.com is currently displaying September 16 as the release date for X-Men Evolution Season 1.

It seems unlikely that box sets of either B:TAS or S:TAS would be out before 2004. Just a guess.

Great news though; glad to hear that someone is listening.

dknight04

This is good news. Can't wait for these boxsets to be released.

chente

*does the happy dance*

I am also glad I haven't bought any of the single disc collections. Four episodes for 19.99? I don't think so! I was holding out for box sets. Now, I just hope they start from the beginning and contain all the episodes from the previous releases, and at least 10 episodes per disc.

Now we got Superman on the horizon, what about Batman Beyond?

darkside

I'm officially doing the happy dance.

Bright Cucumber

I'm another one who only bought the first batman disc....I still haven't bought any Justice League yet...on the hopes that series will make it to a season set.

Kube

Super cool.

What is the Mystery of the Batwoman? An animated feature length movie made for tv?

cruzness

WOOHOO!
I got happy feet!

BizRodian

I bought the first Batman disc, and after they took A YEAR to release the second one, I said screw it, and decided not to collect them. I'm glad to hear they'll likely be season sets now!

killbot

oh god please let this be true. Let there be commentaries by Bruce and Paul. Let them make up and let Paul come to work on justice league. Please.

Bright Cucumber

Let them make up? Did Bruce and Paul get into an argument? When did this happen?
