3.0 out of 5 stars Heads up!, July 23, 2003

By A Customer

Just a little heads up for those interested in this disc. Toonzone is reporting that WB plans on doing box sets of BTAS (both series) at some point in the future. Also, Columbia House is currently releasing all of the episodes on DVD (6 per disc). 10 discs are reportedly available. No extras on the CH version. The video transfer is supposed to be id to the WB transfer. Choose wisely!

3.0 out of 5 stars There are going to have to be a lot of these...., July 2, 2003

By	Michael Reynolds (Indianapolis, IN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well, I love this show. I have bought the previous two Batman TAS DVDs. I love that I have these on DVD, but my biggest complaint is the number of episodes. FOUR?

There were 85 total episodes of the show? I was very happy to see this DVD coming out 6 months after the last, but at this rate we will need 11 years to collect 22 DVDs to have the collection. Are you kidding me?

I just got the "Family Guy" 4 DVD set of the first two seasons. It has 28 episodes packaged nicely. Why don't they do this?

I have the identical complaint about the Justice League DVDs. The SHOWS are the best! Warner Bros. is just packaging them slowly and conservatively.

3.0 out of 5 stars At least the good episodes have arrived..., May 14, 2003

By	Simon (Brampton, ON) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Those who have been boycotting WB's poor BTAS releases may find themselves sorely tempted to pick up this DVD. Not because there are more than four episodes, or because the audio/video has been remixed/restored, or that the extras will be longer and better - but quite simply, because this is when BTAS makes the transition from "good" to "classic."

The definite highlight here is the Two-Face two-parter (fitting, isn't it?), which WB thankfully had the common sense to put on the same disc. Harvey Dent's transformation from tortured soul to disfigured mob boss captures the emotional maturity and complexity of the series perfectly, and should not be missed. "It's Never Too Late" shows another aspect of why BTAS was so successful: the ability to play up the underworld/mob aspects of Gotham, and the human interactions that make Gotham feel real. The last episode, "I've Got Batman in My Basement", is unfortunately a clunker. The Penguin was one of the few villains BTAS never nailed, and his appearance here as well as the story of kids defending a helpless Batman will make most viewers cringe. However, the three previous exceptional episodes help make up for this.

While the overall presenation of the disc is below par, the episodes are worth owning, so BTAS fans should feel somewhat more satisfied with this release than the previous ones.
