The world's greatest team of superheroes will battle their most formidable enemies in "Justice League: The Brave and the Bold". In "The Brave and the Bold", the Flash and Green Lantern team up to save Central City from evil genius Gorilla Grodd's mind-control. In "Injustice for All", criminal mastermind Lex Luther employs a team of supervillains consisting of Ultra-Humanite, Cheetah, the Shade, Copperhead, Solomon Grundy, Star Sapphire and the Joker to destroy Superman and the Justice League. "The Brave and the Bold" and "Injustice for All" are two entertaining 2-part episodes from the animated hit series on Cartoon Network. Both episodes have simple but entertaining storylines, appealing characters, good humor and rousing action. The animation is bright and fairly detailed. The talented voice cast includes Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville), Phil LaMarr (Samurai Jack), Virginia Madsen (Sideways), Powers Boothe (Deadwood), Clancy Brown (Carnivale) and Mark Hamill (Star Wars).

"Justice League: The Brave and the Bold" offers some enjoyable amusement at a bargain price. Both 2-part episodes of "Justice League" are presented in standard full screen format. The DVD contains a noticeably detailed video transfer and a good Dolby Digital 2.0 sound. The DVD also features the informative "Behind the Brave and the Bold" featurette, storyboards, sneak peeks of other Warner animated titles and colorful interactive menus. With its pleasant viewing quality, the latest "Justice League" DVD scores a decent "B-".

It's an understatement that many of us feel ripped off by WB's attempt to unfairly empty our wallets. If we refuse to buy these horribly priced episode dvds and at the same time purchase the available full season box sets that are of value then we can make some headway. They are in the business of making $$$. Slowing their cash flow will force them to give us consumers' products we demand or risk losing our disposable income. Die-hard fans of this series and other series must convince every parent to withhold from purchasing these dvds until full seasons are made available. C'mon WB, we love these shows and will pay for them. We only ask that you don't rape our wallets. Give us the full season box sets much sooner.

ONCE AGAIN I MUST SAY THIS TO WARNER BROS: RELEASE THE SEASON BOX SETS NOW! Fans doesnt want single episodes to be release, we want Season Box sets! This DVD contains good episodes The brave and the bold and Injustice for All. B+ episodes. There are so much beter episodes from season 2 and even from season 1. Please W.B release season box sets soon! Its about time!

There are two adventures on this DVD plus background material. This is not the great literary masterpiece that many professional film critics yearn for but it's more than good enough. This is great viewing for young and old. I'm over 50 years old and watch this DVD over and over because I want something that's relaxing, easy to watch and doesn't stimulate me to great intellectual hieghts and causes. I simply want to be entertained. There is NO bad language, no inuendo and all that... just a very well made cartoon with familiar characters and scenes. I can't wait to see more Justice League episodes.

Only 4 episodes on 1 DVD (ie 2 stories), isn't it a bit short when we could get a season box set? Those're from the 1st season of the Justice League, which wasn't so good at the time, although "Injustice for all" & "The Brave & the Bold" do have nice moments (especially in the first, when Batman seduces each member of the Injustice Gang to turn them against each other). There're many plot holes, stupid lines, Superman's too weak, the action is sometimes too slow (but the animation's great, every character's on-model). Compared to what Bruce Timm & his crew are doing now with the Justice League Unlimited (and also to their previous works), this is only mediocre (but they were learning to tell multiple-character stories).
That's why Warner should (MUST!) release season box sets (filled with audio commentaries, sketches & featurettes), so that the better episodes can make up for the most annoying ones. Come on, Warner, the 4th season is comming to an end now, don't you think it's high time you release the previous ones? I would buy them, you know, and I wouldn't be the only one!

This latest single disc release from Justice League season 1 features "The Brave and the Bold" and "Injustice For All." The first story is a fun Flash and Green Lantern spotlight as they fight Grodd to stop him from destroying Gorilla City. The second is an all-out "good guys vs. bad guys" brawl as Lex Luthor forms a team of supervillains to take on the Justice League. These episodes are notable for the return of Mark Hamil and Clancy Brown to their roles as the Joker and Lex Luthor. In all, these are decent stories. This was around the halfway point of season 1, and despite the abudance of plot holes and stiff animation, we're slowly getting to the good episodes now.

At this point it's still unclear what WB's plans are for Justice League on DVD. The smart money's on an eventual boxed set, but not until after the Batman and Superman releases have been completed. I'd recommend this disc if only as an impulse buy to fill out your DC collection with. You can always sell it off later.

My 3 year old son loves all things superhero, especially Batman and Flash! He watches this DVD over and over again. Being that I am a mom in my 30's, I love all things Wonder Woman. I, too, enjoy watching this. Like the other reviewers I would love for WB to release a Batman Brave and the Bold box set, but until then this will do.

I purchased this for my 5 year-olds. They enjoy it very much...especially on long car trips.

It is beyond me why there isn't a boxed set planned for this series.

My three boys and I love these cartoons but come on already WB...give us the whole seasons already!
