The best way to watch these (I've never seen any of the episodes and have the existing sets already) would be STAS Volume 2 first then BTAS Volume 4 second, right? The World's Finest episode was the great unveiling of the revamped Batman, yes?

One of these days, you need to let this thread just keep going and going and going, see how many pages it goes on for.

Nope. 'Holiday Knights' premiered in September and 'World's Finest' was October. Close, but TNBA definitely showed up first.

I heard World's Finest was originally supposed to be the big revamped premiere though?
Much as I want to grab the new boxsets coming out next week, holiday shopping is putting a drain on me. At least the box sets are popular enough now that most stores carry a few copies well after the initial release week.

I believe it was supposed to introduce Batman to Kids WB! audiences, but they aired a few Batman episodes first. Then again, this was Kids WB, a studio who actually aired Holiday Knights before the episode that introduced the whole premesis of the show, Sins Of The Fathers. They could be quite foolish back in the day, couldn't they?

As opposed to nowadays when they air random episodes of their non-4Kids anime series?

Woooo-hoooo!
Went to Target this morning and they had redone their family DVD wall. Sitting there was BTAS V1,2,3 and an empty spot for V4. But they also had Superman V1 AND V2 out. Got it early! They also had both Superfriends volumes there. I never saw anyone with every release together before... was kinda nice.
I snagged Superman V2 for $19.99, and the price marked on Batman V4 was 34.99. But somebody got to those first.
Also saw they had Thundercats V2 (I don't buy that one though), and I suspect a few other releases from next Tuesday out as well...

Great scott you're a lucky man! I actually had that happen to me once with a release of some random dvd purchase a few years ago. Target is so strange that way sometimes. You must provide some details on special features.

Huh... first thing I notice is that disc 2 is scuffed up.
However, I do see that they included a nice new mini-poster of The Batman with all the animated releases on the back. And one of their mini-lithographs is also included...

nice about the lithograph. Still annoyed about not getting it last time with B:TAS vol 3.
How are the extras?

Pretty weak extras. Just the "Menaces of Mettallo" as far as featurettes go (13 minutes). 1 Video and 2 audio commentaries. Haven't had a chance to watch any of them yet.
Still hate the double sided disc, too. Even worse when it's badly scuffed on both sides! 
Guess what? It has chapter stops! 5 per episode! Maybe somebody is listening!!!

Ack! Can it be? 
Wow, if they listen to us talking about them, they must be like...masochists or something.
I'm in the minority who thinks WHV is doing a heck of a good job...

Not to us. WB started putting chapter stops on all of their TV on DVD products a few months ago. My guess is that the majority of complaints they received about their lack of chapters was directed toward other products, such as Friends.

Fans who want to option to see the previously on segments versus straight hour long episodes? Your prayers have been answered. Thank you WHV.
Now put out sets for Static Shock, The Zeta Project and Gotham Girls and all is forgiven.

I wish WB would stop putting bonus episodes of completely unrelated products on their DVDs. It's highly irritating, especially when the time/money involved in those features could've been used on something people actually want to see.
Trailers are enough to promote the other products. If they want to pimp thier other shows, use another disc that I can freely chuck out.

I'm glad to hear the product is out there in some places, even if it breaking street date. Given the difficulties some sites are having in getting press materials, I was beginning to think this set would be delayed. Glad that is not the case. With luck we’ll have some media for the releases before they street on Tuesday. I’ll have the talkbacks for Batman: The Animated Series - Volume Four and Superman: The Animated Series - Volume Two (even Gargoyles: Season Two, Volume One: We Live Again!) online on the morning of the 6th.
