Fantastic box set
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This box set is simply a must have for fans of the character Batman and devotees of the animated series. For the first time this all time classic has been remastered in HD which makes it pop even more than it did when it first aired in the early ‘90s. This limited edition set also comes with an awesome lithograph set and 3 Pocket Funko Pops which are cool but kind of a let down; it would’ve been better if they were from the actual show, but that is only a minor nitpick as the actual show is the real star here. It also comes with the two theatrical released animated films Mask of the Phantasm and SubZero! This set is a limited run of only 70,000

Best animated series ever

the remaster that we deserve
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The remasters of this set are absolutely stunning. I've compared to the old DVDs and it's leaps and bounds better. That said, as a collectors edition it could have been better. The discs are housed in a booklet which although is very nice in presentation, has actually caused scratches on the discs due to how tightly they fit. The mini pops are just plain tacky. A batmobile would have been a much better collectors item or even just not have anything and price the set a little cheaper. Theres very little content on the special features disc. The Harley Quinn feature is only about two minutes long, is clearly old recycled footage that I'm pretty sure is taken from old featurettes, not remastered, and they just threw in a few clips from the blu rays so it would look new. They did not include the special featurette from the 2008 collector set titled "Batman's Animated Evolution". I suppose that just preserves the integrity of the old box set but still would have been neat. I just felt that there could have been more meat to the extra disc especially considering the release date was delayed two weeks partially for the main featurette. The next issue is the digital codes. The code only gets you digital copies for the DVDs and currently VUDU (the only service you can use the code for) does not have the HD remastered version. So the code is not even for the box set you are buying, rather, it gets you the digital copies of the 2008 DVD box set (a set which did not include the two movies and thus neither does the digital code.) I have read they (Warner Bros. and VUDU) are currently addressing this but is still unacceptable to me as this was the other reason of why the release date was delayed to include the digital copy. I hope if/when they do rectify this that the movies will be included as they should have been since they are part of this set. Bottom line: if you're a collector and you love this series I do still reccomend this box set. The remasters are amazing in both audio and video. But overall as a collectors set, the 2008 DVD box set was much better.

The series that inspired a new generation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First of all, this series is beloved and has been waited for in HD format for the longest time and boy did WB remaster their cherished series to a fantastic degree. Some might feel that some of the "dark" shadows are too bright but supposedly that's how the artist intended so I have to say that this is its true display. Other than that, the series looks great considering how old the source material is. The bonus material is very comprehensive in addition to the inclusion of two movie "Mask of the Phantasm" and "Sub Zero" remastered in HD as well. As far as the packaging, there are definitely some issues. First are the divisive inclusion of Mini Funko Pops. They seem like a throw-in that wasn't thoughtfully considered because they are designs that aren't even reflected in the show. The Lenticular cards are awesome and high quality. The book packaging has nice metallic treatment even if the long-wise opening of the book might be a little unorthodox. The slip box is sturdy but also unorthodox because the opening is at the top. But probably the most concerning is the cardboard disc holders that make it more susceptible to disc scratches. All in all, this set at 12-discs and excellent presentation is quite a bargain.

WORTH WAITING (AND PAYING) FOR.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.FINALLY....a re-mastered Blu-Ray of one of the finest animated projects of all time. Long (and justly) considered as the best on-screen depiction of The Batman character, and a ground-breaking effort for this format, this set goes the distance in quality to --finally--do Justice to this now-classic series. The video quality is unimpeachable, and the extras--Special Features --abound. I could go on...and on......But I`ll just sum up thusly; If you have been wanting to get this series -- ...and waiting for THE BEST collection of it.... -----Well, NOW IS THE TIME ! Now.. The only possible ( and I stress 'possible') flaw: The packaging. The discs are enclosed in a book-like case, with 'pages' containing discs in tight-fitting slots of the stiff cardboard pages. This just MIGHT result in scratches to the disc surface. I cannot say this is a certainty, as I only just received the set. The encoded surface- side of the sleeves does appear to have a slick coating, so mayhap there will be no damage (mine looks fine, but then, it has not been subject to multiple disc removals and replacements over time....I am just considering prior collections of other material that had damage due to just this sort of packaging. The page/sleeves are TIGHT fitting....I just don`t know if this is going to be a problem. I may replace the discs in standard disc cases.....I`ll have to think about this.... ANYWAY; Bottom Line; I would still endorse this as a set that any fan should want to have.

Nostalgia at its finest
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This blu ray box set of one of the greatest animated series of all-times is a must own. I wasn’t a fan of the packaging of disc in a book of tough to remove sleeves. However it wasn’t a deal breaker. It comes with a digital copy of the series as well as 2 classic animated movies. Originally all were in SD. However, with feedback from the community they were later increased to HD qualify for the series & films with a new digital code emailed to you after the initial code you use. The series does have black boarders on the left & right of the screen. I assume to retain the original and not stretch them out which would mean you’d lose some of the film. The series still holds up well all these years later.

Superb
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do not believe I add anything about this superb television series that other numerous fans have written and raved about on the internet for the past several years, but there is a reason this show is superb. However, I can add write about how awesome this show looks and sounds on blu-ray. I was amazed after watching the opening credits, which is still some of the best credits for any television program. The image is as bright and crisp and the colors look beautiful. The sound is just as amazing. This is a must have for any Batman fan; to top it off, this collection does contain the best Batman film ever made -- Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Even though that film got a bluy-ray release, it is included in this pack and does help jsutify the price.

This . . . Is Batman!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Batman the animated series is often regarded as the best animated superhero show ever. The characters, plots and plain atmosphere of the show is miles away from anything before or after it. On bluray this masterpiece looks and sounds even better! Along with 109 episodes you get the awesome Mask of the Phantasm movie and the direct to video movie Subzero. As an added bonus you get a making of documentary that goes back to day of the inception of the show and talks to all of the show’s creators and some of the fine actors that voiced characters only seen on the pages of comic books. This bluray set is a must for Batmsn fans, as well as cartoon fans. Get it while you can!

One of the best animated series shines on blu-ray
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a huge fan of Batman TAS when it was first broadcast, and it was an important part of my childhood. It is great to see that there was love and care put to remastering each episode for high def. All of the extras from the individual dvd sets released prior are included in one package. The limited edition packaging is prone to dents and damage and the Funko pops are pointless. I couldn't wait for the regular version of the set (which are now announced if not available) so I recommend that at the moment. But this set is not much more expensive. Overall, I recommend purchasing this series on blu ray for both old fans and newcomers.

Reliving my childhood.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From Burton, to Nolan, to Snyder, this is MY Batman. I'm only about 50 episodes through this massive set, but I've been pleased what's included. Good to see Mask of the Phantasm and the Kids WB season (that matched with Superman) included on this set. Commentaries and bonus features are from previous home releases, dated 2004, but are still informative. My only real issue with this set is the packaging. Though the book packaging looks very nice, I wasn't happy with the discs themselves being in these tight sleeves; fortunately I had some spare cases (thin and able to hold two discs each) on hand to use.

Beautiful set with only one drawback
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.IGN has a really good video review of this box set. I will say that it does not take more than 30 seconds into one of the discs to notice how much care went into restoring this highly regarded show. An added bonus of the digital copy and some little funko-style pops and you're golden. The only drawback, which I argue on behalf of IGN is that the funko pops are not in the style of the show for some reason. There are already ones that are made in the show's vision, yet must not have been included due to some random reason. No matter, as the content on these discs is most important & it is glorious.

Couldn't be happier with the product!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the complete collection of arguably the finest Batman series in any medium. The stories and animation hold up to comparison with any modern series. Batman: The Animated Series even has a progressive continuity, with an early introduction to Harvey Dent, Robin becoming Nightwing and replaced by Tom Drake, and even introduced a character who continues to be one of the most popular characters in the DC line, Harley Quinn. As a bonus, two animated feature films are included, Mask of the Phantasm and Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero.

It's the animated series...why not!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I saw this limited edition Batman Animated series on blu-ray,i could NOT pass this up!! I'm just upset that I didn't get it when it was on sale for $60!! The only thing that I would complain about is that the Funko Pops need to be more like the animated characters and that Best Buy doesn't send this BOX set in a bubble wrap envelop but in a cardboard BOX!! Just so it won't get damaged. This is a limited edition, some collectors keep the box. Other than that, it is DEFINITELY worth buying!!

Classic Animated Series
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the first time this series is available on bluray and in a digital format (VUDU) in this boxed set. The Batman episodes are in 4:3 full screen (black bars on the left and right of the screen) with audio in standard stereo. The two films are in widescreen aspect ratio, and their audio is in 5.1 DTS stereo. This set also has collectable funko pop miniatures of Batman, Harley Quinn and the Joker as well as 7 lenticular collector cards that feature original animation artwork of the series.

My son hasn’t stopped talking about it.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son asked for this two years ago for Xmas and I was very reluctant to pay the price at that time for a set of DVDs. I’m writing this review now to tell you that he STILL talks about how much he loves that gift and still goes back and watches these. It’s a memory from his childhood (he’s all of 23 now) that brings him comfort to relive. Worth every penny to me at twice the price.

Nostalgia exceeded
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the most iconic characters in one of the best series ever. I couldn’t wait to get home from school when this series came out to watch. Seeing it again restored to 1080p quality, it still holds up. So much heart and great story. Not much content like it these days, in my opinion. With the digital version available, I can stream it while keeping the discs intact.

My husband was excited to get this.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only setback is you have to call the digital copy provider and protest to get better quality download and the Movies digital code....they company did do this for my husband and many others go read reviews on competitor site that tells you what to do to receive this. As my husband was the one who fought for it so I'm not sure what all he had to do. But they did give it to him.

HOLY ANIMATED GREATNESS BATMAN
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been waiting YEARS for this release and glad I didn't jump the gun and get around to purchasing this series in regular DVD. The Blu-Ray presentation is AMAZING and the show still stands up to other animated series after all these years. THIS was a MUST HAVE and even better since this was a limited edition box set. After you read this, don't hesitate, JUST BUY IT!

Maybe the best version of Batman
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This series might be the best version of Batman ever made with all the classic villains present (and the creation of Harley Quinn). With so many episodes, there's a great deal of backstory to the characters and it really puts someone like Mr. Freeze in a new light. I own the DVD and BluRay and you can really see the improvement in presentation with BluRay.
