Three and four and five, technically. The thing released on DVD packaged as season one of JLU is actually seasons one and two, and the thing packaged as season two is actually season three. But since season two of JL got a non-anamorphic release, I think the fact that it got a Blu-Ray release if the first season sold as badly as it did is a miracle in and of itself. At least the JLU DVDs are anamorphic. I suppose that'll have to do.

There were rumors about a Mask of the Phantasm DVD special edition back in the Batman Begins days of Bat-blitzing, I doubt it's very likely now.

Like I said, it sounds like that borders on a miracle that it came out at all. At this point, I'd settle for Disney releasing the rest of Gargoyles on DVD, it's driving me up the wall. And that's obviously happening around the time the OOT comes out remastered and Richard Dawkins converts to Christianity.

It's very, very good, arguably the most respectful treatment of the Batman mythology. I've rewatched it into adulthood and it holds up remarkably well. And Kevin Conroy remains the definitive characterization of Batman. No one else even comes close.

Yeah, so am I, the other boxed sets are in print, which irritates the hell out of me. I understand if it won't be gorgeously remastered, but I'd like to still be able to pay a reasonable price to buy the boxed set with the art book and such, but apparently bootlegs are ubiquitous, God knows what I'd have to pay for a proper release.

Some of it is, like the AKOM episodes. Some of it holds up pretty well. The TMS animation in episodes like "Feat of Clay, Part II" and "Two-Face, Part I," is still gorgeous to this day. The show was made under time and budget problems, which is probably a large part of the reason that they revamped the designs to make them move better later on, but some episodes are still pretty gorgeous.

Nominally yes, but a lot of the content it dealt with and the tone of the show were pretty dark and it's primary fanbase now tends to be adults. That doesn't mean that it'll get released on BR or anything, but the audience for the show goes way beyond kids now.

Maybe it's Lupus!

Not talking about the quality of the discs. Clearly there were issues if WB gave up on them. I'm just saying that at that time, many shows were being released on flippers including WB's primetime series, so that's not necessarily an indication that BTAS was a lower-tier series that they were trying "Mill Creek-ize."

Not exactly the Batman we are waiting for, but gives me hope

Adam Tyner

Very excited about that! Thanks for the heads-up!

Mike86

Eh Batman The Brave and the Bold is sort of so-so to me. I might pick it up if the price is low enough. Was the show new enough that it was broadcast in HD originally?

Adam Tyner

Oh, definitely! The show started airing in high-def in 2009.

Just about everything from Warner Animation has been produced in high-def since 2001 or thereabouts. I think their entire workflow has been in HD for a decade now, even if it didn't originally air that way. Always lookin' forward!

Mike86

I wonder if they're using this release as a way to test the waters for future Batman/DC Heroes releases or if they're just doing this since it's already HD ready.

PhantomStranger

The series looks awesome in HD. I own the digital HD copy on VUDU and the quality is fantastic. It was natively produced at 1080P, which I guess is one of the main reasons it is seeing a Blu-ray release.

Kedrix

Hrmmm, I dunno...Batman Brave and the Bold on blu-ray sounds good, but by WarnerArchive? Does that mean they would come on Bluray recordables or what? Also...WBShop was hacked not too long ago, I really don't want to touch them with a 10 foot pole if I don't have to.

Adam Tyner

Their stuff is available from a bunch of other sites too, such as Amazon.

Warner Archive's other BDs have been pressed so far.

TheMovieman

Yeah, I received The Mentalist: Season 1 from them recently (to review). Haven't had a chance to check it out so not sure on the quality, although, and unsurprisingly, the audio is just the standard Dolby Digital 5.1 even though the Dolby TrueHD logo is on the back cover.

Michael Allred

Hopefully "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" will come to BD next year.

PhantomStranger

That's a good idea. I think there is a chance that Beware the Batman gets a normal retail release.

PhantomStranger

Never say never, the original Adam West Batman television series is finally hitting home video (likely on both DVD and Blu-ray) in 2014. It just got announced!

mrhan

Any word on Green Hornet?

PhantomStranger

Not that I know of, but that series has much less commercial potential than Batman.

hanshotfirst1138

Who finally untangled the rights? I'll accept BTAS never being on BR, but I wish the Complete Series set wasn't so goddamn expensive.

Ringmaster

It depends on how you market it. Just say, "The Green Hornet; starring BRUCE LEE" on the the box and you'll be surprised.

DVD Josh

No, it will be more like

BRUCE LEE PUNCHES, KICKS AND PUNCHES

in

The Green Hornet

mrhan

That's good enough for me...fuck the Green Hornet I want to see Kato.

Solid Snake

I hated that GH show. As a kid and not knowing the period or Lee's history, I wanted more Kato than GH. GH was slow ass cracker who couldn't defend himself well without his chink pal.

Now if only we could a good biopic of Lee's life. Dragon makes sick by how it tells his story. Even worse is that his wife was pleased by it.

mrhan

Funny thing is she retracted that which makes me think obviously it was all about making money; something which I don't have any problem with. I met her a few years ago and I wanted to ask so badly about it but I kept my mouth shut. She's actually a really nice lady.

robin2099

If the Green Hornet episodes show up on the Batman set then that likely means that the rights issues that kept the DVD's from being released have been taken care of. It would all be up to if Fox sees any commercial value in releasing it. Which factoring the fact that it starred Bruce Lee and was only one season they would be morons not to.

Shannon Nutt

I wonder if Warners actually cleared all the rights, or if we're going to wind up with VERY edited episodes?

hanshotfirst1138

Music licensing issues or syndicated copies with scenes cut for more commercials?
