I repeat, "Do NOT buy season 1 and 2 together." Buy season 1 and season 2 separately on amazon and save almost 10 dollars over buying them packaged together here. Just do the math yourself and see.

***Update (11/2/07): Amazon has changed their prices and now it is about 6 dollars cheaper to buy them together instead of separately. Before you buy, it is always good to check to see if it's cheaper to buy separately or together from amazon because one way is usually going to be cheaper than the other.

I remember feeling a little disappointed after watching the 1st episodes of the Justice League series. Some bad decisions (in my opinion) regarding characters design and some dull plots have led me to the conclusion that the new series would never reach the same level of entertainment from the previous BATMAN / SUPERMAN shows. I am happy to say that I was wrong.

Justice League has grown in quality during its 1st two seasons and every new episode turned out to be better than the previous one. Even the characters design issues were solved. The 2nd season of the series presents some of the greatest stories from all DC Comics animated series.

After Season 2 final episode, the creative team responsible for the series embraced the challenge of taking the series to another level by creating the Justice League Unlimited, a group of super heroes formed by as many "good guys" from the DC Comics Universe as possible.

The result was great! Justice League Unlimited - Season 1 presents what I consider to be the best arc of stories from all of DC Comics Animated Series.

It is hard to say more without revealing important aspects of the series, but I don't think I'll be telling much if I say that this particular arc involves a complex plot and offers a new perspective about super heroes: Is it a good idea to have so much power in the hands of few super heroes? The search for the answer for such question resulted in a great development for the series and a must-have collection for all DC Comics fans.

Justice League Unlimited - Season 2 is good entertainment too, although not as great as Season 1. But it definitely concludes the whole Justice League series beautifully and lets us fans wishing for more episodes... I really hope that happens someday.

These two seasons are without a doubt the most captivating comic-based series I have been able to find. Mysterious government agencies, intense battles, and few hysterical Batman and Flash episodes make this the single most impressive animated DC comics series on television.

There is no doubt that the Justice Leagues give you a full appreciation for the DC comic book heroes. The storylines, dialogue, voice over actors and fight scenes are first rate for any television show - cartoon or otherwise! Anyone thinking of buying these series should not hold any doubt. They were so good I even wrote a big thanks to Warner Bros and DC comics for the production!

Being a fan of the show, I was quite happy with this DVD set. The stories are not necessarily for children, and can be enjoyed by anyone. The video and audio are good, but I wish there were more commentaries by the creators, maybe by even some of the voice talent. The little they had made me wish there was more. Still - if you're a fan of this show, I would recommend picking this up!

I have the entire Justice League Series including the Justice League Unlimited and after watching the entire series 5 times I can say without reservation that this series is by far the best animated series that I have seen to date.
Not only is the art work splendid and un-reliant on the popular Japanese style animation, but the writing and casting is simply great! It is so refreshing to watch an animation that does not rely on obscenities and profanity for "realism".In fact I find it difficult to find fault with the full story. I would have done a few things differently were I in charge of the production but they are so minor that I won't even bother to list them here. My only criticism is the manner in which the series ended. I won't give any details on any if the episodes only to avoid spoiling it for first time viewers, but I will tell you that you will not be disappointed with this series. There may be one or two that you may find not up to the standard that the producers have maintained throughout the series but even they will grow on you by the third viewing.
I want to be the first on Amazon to call for another episode to properly end the series for a new beginning. PLEASE LET'S PUT PREASURE ON THE CREW TO COME BACK AND GIVE US ONE MORE EPISODE.
This series is deffinately the standard to strive to beat.

When the original Justice League series ended, Hawkgirl was out of the group and the remaining members vowed to rebuild their organization. BOY, did they ever as virtually every character in the DC Universe makes an appearance during these final two seasons.

The episodes have already been covered by other reviews so I'll just go into the highlights of both seasons of JLU.

Season 1:

*The Cabnus angle and how Lex Luthor was manipulating things behinds the scenes.

*Seeing The Flash get busy and actually step up and be a real hero in one of the final episodes of Season 1.

*The Once & Future Thing, Pts. 1 & 2 - New revelations that will change things for 3 JLU members.

*New revelations about the future Batman, Terry McGuinus which should've been the finale for Batman Beyond but I am glad its here on JLU!

Season 2:

*The Legion Of Doom makes their appearance.

*More revelations about Hawkgirl and Green Lantern

*Hawkman (the real one) appears

*Supergirl comes into her own and The Legion Of Super Heroes make their first appearance since Superman: The Animated Series.

*Darkseid returns for one more fight with Superman and the JLU

Overall, a good collection to add to your DVD's! As usual, has something for kids but sophisticated enough for adults.

As the title of my review states, if you grew up on these shows, as I did, then you need to get all of the shows in the continuity created by Bruce Timm and his crew. That ranges from Batman TAS to JLU. I'm not kidding when I say that I grew up on these shows since I was 5 when Batman started and I was in high school by the time JLU ended. Considering that and the fact that my love of the DC Universe has only grown, I had to get this.

My 11-year-old daughter and I used to watch Justice League/Justice League Unlimited every night on the Boomerang cable channel. When the BoomerAction block dropped Justice League, I bought all the episodes so we could watch them together whenever we wish.

I'm a long-time DC Comics fan and know the Justice League members and their adversaries quite well. Danielle knows most of the heroes and some of the villains. We both enjoy watching Justice League/Unlimited. What more is there to say about that?

The package includes every episode of the JLU series, plus commentary and special features. Nothing is omitted from the programs that originally aired.

If you're a Justice League (or DC Animated Universe) fan, Justice League Unlimited Seasons One and Two are must-have items. Highly recommended.

It's mandatory that you love this product. The only down side is they only made 2 seasons. Bummer
