Justice League: From Single-Disc Volumes To Complete Series!, September 27, 2009
Justice League - The Complete Series is a 15-disc collection comprised of the following:
Justice League - Season One
Justice League - Season Two
Justice League Unlimited - Season One (Actually JLU S1 & S2) (aka JL S3 & S4)
Justice League Unlimited - Season Two (Actually JLU S3) (aka JL S5)
The first 15 episodes of Justice League Season One were originally released separately on the single-disc volumes Secret Origins, Justice on Trial, Paradise Lost (all on June 1, 2004) and The Brave and the Bold (October 19, 2004). Also available on the 4-disc JL Season One set released on March 21, 2006 featuring all 26 episodes (multi-part arcs) in Full-Frame (1.33:1) video with following seasons to be in widescreen as originally animated; plus a host of special features.
The final 3 episodes of Justice League Season Two were originally released separately (before ever airing on TV) on the single-disc volume Starcrossed: The Movie (July 13, 2004) in Anamorphic Widescreen. Also available on the 4-disc JL Season Two set released on June 20, 2006 which oddly featured all 26 episodes (multi-part arcs) in non-Anamorphic Widescreen; plus special features.
6 episodes from the first half of Justice League Unlimted Season One were originally released separately on the single-disc volumes Saving the World (February 15, 2005) and "Joining Forces" (September 20, 2005). Also available on the 4-disc Anamorphic Widescreen JLU Season One set released on October 24, 2006 which (despite the "Season One" box title) actually contains both JLU Seasons One and Two (each 13 episodes) featuring extras covering only the first half of the 2 in 1 season set with the following season set to include the missing bonus material.
The final 13 episodes of Justice League Unlimited were only released on the 2-disc Anamorphic Widescreen JLU Season Two set released on March 20, 2007 featuring the extra sorely missed from the previous set, "Cadmus: Exposed" which resolved the discussion on the popular series story arc; plus other bonus material.
For the Complete Series release, Warner Home Video has lovingly repackaged from the separate season sets all 91 episodes and respective special features (in respective aspect ratios) on 15 single-sided DVDs (including a brand new bonus disc) all in an exclusive collectible box set that does justice to DCAU's League of Extraordinary Superheroes.
Special Features include:
New Bonus Disc Documentary "Unlimited Reserve: Exploring the Depths of the DC Universe".
Commentary on 8 episodes with Series Creators: "The Enemy Below Part 2", "Legends Part 2", "The Savage Time Part 2", "Twilight Part 2", "A Better World Part 2", "Starcrossed Part 3", "This Little Piggy", "The Return".
Featurettes: "Inside Justice League", "The Look of The League", "The Blueprint for Justice", "Justice League - The First Mission", "Voices of Justice", "Justice League: Declassified", "And Justice for all", "Themes of Justice", "Cadmus: Exposed", "Justice League Chronicles", Music-only audio track for the final episode "Destroyer".
Easter Egg: "Not too Savage", a Deleted Scene with an introduction by producer Bruce Timm.
Packaging:
Two large and sturdy digipaks - one for "Justice League" featuring Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman cover art identical to the outer case, and one for "Justice League Unlimited" featuring Red Tornado, Dr. Fate and Aquaman cover art - inside an outer case.
Bottom Line: Highly recommended, especially for fans who don't own any of the previous season set releases. To fans that already own the previous releases, just know that aside from the bonus disc documentary (and the convenience of complete series packaging) all of the disc content are the same as the previous releases before you decide.

Great Metal Case I didn't expect, with a minor problem, November 10, 2009
Just got this set today and I haven't had time to watch any of it yet. When I opened the box from Amazon, I was surprised at the packaging. I didn't know, or at least didn't remember, that it would be in a metal case, which was a great bonus. Then I took the two 'books' out of the case to flip through the DVDs and I got a little perplexed. The Volume 1 DVDs were in the Volume 2 Book and vice versa. Odd, I thought. So, I decided to 'fix' the problem by switching the DVDs out one by one, which I thought was a great idea until I realized there are more discs in the second book. So, I had to switch the DVDs back to their original book and switch the cover and booklets instead. Not a big problem and nothing worth complaining about, just thought I'd save anyone else with the same trouble the hassle of mistakenly trying to switch the discs. Now that that's solved, I can start watching Justice League!

the best animated series since the 90's spiderman series!, September 20, 2009
Ok...
First off, I do not have this particular series collection yet, because it hasn't been released yet.
With the above being said, I can say that I own all of the individual justice league seasons, and they were all incredible, so this set should be at least as good...
This series is Simply one of the best ever...
The wide array of past & new hero's and villians is Great...
The storyline's are Awesome...
You don't see the same characters on every show, you get a great variety...
My daughter watches the shows with me, as it is very suitable for kids of any age, but the writing is so darn good that it really appeals to the adult audience as well...
I remember one of the episodes with SuperGirl(my favorite super hero) where she actually says she was just copping a feel to a male character on the show...
I just think that writing ROCKS!!!!
My only complaint is that the series ended and didn't go longer... I do not understand how a series that good stopped...
I hope Mr. Timm or someone else brings the series back with new shows and the same characters...
I would highly recommend buying this series... You will watch it over and over again and be very happy with your purchase...
Thanks...
P.S. If the Production guys are reading this review, I have a question... Where is the release on Blueray?
