Which is the worst of the new animated Batman DVDs?

[Blight]

(1) Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker - The Original, Uncut Version
(2) Batman: The Animated Series - The Legend Begins
(3) The Batman/Superman Movie
(4) Batman and Mr. Freeze: Subzero
(5) Justice League

I'd have to say the Justice League DVD is the worst. Hardly any special features (and the bios and trailer are hardly worth looking at) and a medicore "movie" makes it by far my worst buy. And, just for the record, ROTJ Uncut is definitely the best.

See ya!

I agree - Justice League is the worst disc. It has nothing for extras. Static text pages? Wow! Hero bios that were poorly written? Wow! Trailers? Gasp!

The Batman Beyond: ROTJ DVD is by far the best 'Batman' DVD put togethor so far. Te commentary is great. The featurette isn't actually as shameless as most of them are. I just wish we got to see this kind of stuff on the other DVDs. Kirkland said there's alot of material available that should have been on the Sub-Zero CD. And the material available for the other discs....*sigh*...

The Justice League DVD looked the best. They did the best job cleaning it up. How many time are you going to watch extras? I am worried about the actual content I am buying. Which brings me to the worst of the bunch... The Legend Begins. Thumbs down. I've seen better clean up jobs in New Jersey.

Yeah, I agree Jim, that commentary on the ROTJ disk was very entertaining. The comments that they made about the "Bad oysters" line had me cracking up, and I never even found the line funny before I heard the commentary. Plus, they actually acknoledged the Jolly Jack candy jar screw-up. I wonder why Warners didn't go all out on the other DVDs like they did with ROTJ. I mean, how hard would it have been to at least record commentarys for the others? Boyd Kirkland himself said he would have been happy to do a commentary for Subzero. Somtimes (almost all the time, come to think of it) I just don't get Warner Bros.

See ya!

I didn't buy JL, but out of the other 4, I have to agree with Slipknot, sadly. The Legend Begins just wasn't as good as it should have been in terms of quality.

I found the JUSTICE LEAGUE DVD the worst of the bunch - it lacked extras, and to be perfectly honest, it is just a bad "movie". (It's my first screening of anything JUSTICE-LEAGUE related, and animation aside, I wasn't impressed.)

RETURN OF THE JOKER was definately the best.

I liked THE LEGEND BEGINS, too - but I would have liked more extras and a commentary track for each episode!

Why are these "how to draw Batman" featurettes so cool, though? That isn't a worthy extra by any means. *SIGH*

PS - Anyone know of a MASK OF THE PHANTASM DVD (with extras, not just the movie and a trailer) is coming out? That would be the best.

[James Harvey]

There is no updated DVD of Mask of the Phantasm currently in the works. We're stuck with the bare bones DVD for now. The DVDs definatly had alot of potential. I asked Bruce Timm if he'd consider doing a commentary and guess what his answer was..."Yes". It baffles the mind why WB didn't pursue this...
