Looks pretty good but I think they’re missing the last film (Mystery of the Batwoman). Not the greatest of the series/films but if they’re calling the set complete it should be there. I had bought it individually on Blu-ray way back when it first released but heads up for others who may not realize it’s missing.

I’m pretty sure it technically is a film from The New Adventures of Batman though. It’s got the same voice cast and same crew and animation style. They made it before they started the animated DCAU films that continue to be made today. Still think it’s odd to exclude it as it’s already seen a Blu-ray release. Actually even Batman and Harley Quinn is technically considered a film based on The New Adventures of Batman too but to me that’s more detached and has a different tone.

Ugh. The packaging for the discs looks terrible - glued together cardboard sleeves in a "book" like the Bruce Lee Legacy Collection or the first Universal Classic Monsters Collection had. That's disappointing. I also have absolutely no use for Funko Pops.
My excitement for this is tempered a little. I'm still interested to see what reviews say about the AV quality though.

When they say the entire series, does that include The New Batman Adventures?

Yeah, I've gotta say, I would be much more enthusiastic about a simpler version of this set, in a smaller, more conventional box, even if the price weren't much lower. I'd rather have shelf space than a huge book and Funko Pops.

Yes, this has everything with the exception of the aforementioned Batwoman movie. The Batwoman movie may also have not been included because Timm and Dini had nothing to do with it, produced several years after the final episode had aired. That movie was spearheaded by Alan Burnett.

I still think it should have been included. 
Like I mentioned it is already out on Blu-ray and fits in with The New Batman Adventures seamlessly as it’s got the same cast and animation style and I’m pretty certain at least some people involved with the show were on that movie too. I think I even remember it being promoted as a follow up movie when it originally came out.

I put in my pre-order on Amazon. I don't really care about most of the stuff like the Funko figures or book and would rather just have the show and movies on disc, but oh well.

I don't get why so many collectors editions or whatever still use cardboard sleeves. Probably not as big a problem with blu-ray's durability but still annoying.

I don't get the artwork. It looks like Batman Beyond.

Thanks. Pre-ordered. I noticed on the WB site they have a set with shirts but fuck that. I don't even want the stupid funko figures that come with this. I don't need any extra shit.

Truthfully I don’t really want the Pop! figures either. Not much of a fan of them in the first place and the designs don’t do much for me. I’d have preferred something nicer and would have potentially paid more for a statue or something. I still want to support this release though so I’ll keep my pre-order. Kinda hoping it dips to under $100 before release.

It's a cost-cutting measure mostly to reduce shipping costs for the distributors. Anything sturdier than cardboard weighs more. It also cuts down on used sales, which is always a bonus for the studio when selling physical media.
