Gah....the whole show is on-sale at amazon for like, $86. That's a loving awesome deal.

This is going on the birthday list.

Just out of curiosity, how good are the DVDs in terms of picture + sound quality? Extras? Boxes/cases?

Don't care about show quality. I know it's great.

DVDs are great imo. Very good picture and sound quality. Extras were decent. There's some featurettes. I thought they could've went more in depth, but still exceeding my expectations for cartoon DVDs. The commentary tracks with Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, etc. were really nice. Boxes I think look good and they're not hard to mess with. Maybe I would've preferred thinpaks, but the digipaks they gave you weren't bad. Art looks decent on my shelf. Definitely not a thrown together package like Marathon's excuses for DVDs, don't worry.

I say definitely get the DVDs. This show is still f'ing mind blowing . Some of those episodes are better directed than most movies I've seen, and Dini and Timm nailed the dark, noir, comic-book essence of Batman that even makes stuff like Batman Begins look stupid.

Since it will be a birthday gift, I'm so jumping on that sale. The complete series of Batman Beyond is around $30 as is the whole run of that DC Superman show from 10 or so years ago.

For like, $150 you can get three of the best superhero shows around.

Link To Sale.

Shame about a lack of anime or 80s action shows.

Jumped on it!

Someone told me season 4 has a different art style, and it's not as good. But I'd want the WHOLE show anyway cause I'm anal like that.

Season 4 is good imo for the Harley/Ivy Christmas episode which pretty much verified them as an item and lots of Batgirl, not to mention Batgirl/Batman hints. Downside mostly is the new Robin, who's a little twerp and just not cool at all. I think most of the episodes still are very good, but yeah the new art style wasn't as great, although perhaps not bad you don't compare it to the older, darker style. This change occurred when they moved from Fox to the WB, for whatever reason. But yeah, still very much worth owning imo.

Probably getting this in the mail this week. Hopefully Tuesday, but not quite sure.

<-----Also avatar updated and on-topic.

I could watch it all day.

Edit: Or today.

LOL at the "box set" having one volume in there backwards. Also Volume 2 appears to have been packed "backwards" by the dvd company. Making it kinda neat, and possibly worth money to some ebay idiot, but I'm still gonna open it.

Clearly these are just slapped together individual sets.

Also, is Bane really THAT important to be on the box? I would have gone with say Poison Ivy or Two-Face over him.
