Justice League: Paradise Lost [DVD]

good DVD. If you like cartoons this is a good one to buy

High above the Earth in the great Watchtower of the Justice League, there are assembled the world's seven greatest heroes created from the cosmic legends of the universe - Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, the Flash, Green Lantern, the Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl. Their mission: To fight injustice, to right that which is wrong, and to serve all mankind. It was planetary pandemonium for animation fans when the creators of "Batman: The Animated Series" unveiled the monster hit series "Justice League" back in 2001. Taking the premise of Hanna-Barbera's classic "Superfriends" [of uniting heroes to fight evil on a global scale as originally done in the comic books] and giving it a 21st century upgrade, the show's producers boldly took the time to flesh out the members of the League, adding a depth to what motivates them as heroes. This was never done with the Justice League of the 60s, 70s & 80s. Justice League featured Emmy-worthy production values in animated storytelling and brilliant thought and care in voice casting. Not to mention a magnificent main title theme by Lolita Ritmanis. Given the show's mature tone, fans were dumbfounded that DVDs of Justice League were only released as single disc "DC Comics Kids Collection" volumes with no more than 3-4 eps instead of season sets. (Note: If you own all of the original JL volumes then you already have Justice League - Season One episodes 1-15, and should consider the remaining 11 episodes plus the exclusive EXTRAS on this set before deciding.)

Fun, short cartoons with great depictions of the DC characters. Focuses on the major ones, but also spotlights lesser heroes with a more humorous side. With Kevin Conroy voicing Batman, the ties to the old series are great. Lots of fun and action for the kids, and good for the grownups who haven't grown up yet.

...as I have said in previous reviews regarding the animated "Justice League" movies, I really wish Warner Bros. / DC Comics would have put all of these kid-friendly Justice League movies in with the animated series set. As you watch the series, different episodes touch on the events in these separate "movies", and without the backstory, the narrative and dramatic impact can get lost. Still, these standalone movies are great!
