  The End of DCAU - A Retrospective


With the end of the decade coming up soon, ToonZone has been taking a look back at the last ten years of animation, compiling the best and the worst of the 2000s into a series of retrospective articles.

Last week, they posted Toons of the 2000s: The End of DCAU - A Retrospective which remembers some of the finest moments from the fourteen years of quality shows known as the DC Animated Universe. These shows include Batman: the Animated Series, which debuted in 1992, Superman: the Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and Justice League Unlimited, which concluded in 2006.

  The Complete Justice League DVD Set Now Available!



You can tell the Christmas season is here because we are in the thick of big DVD releases. Today you can go out and buy Justice League: The Complete Series, a massive 15 disc set that includes all 91 episodes of Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.

Buyer beware: This set is essentially the four previous box sets packaged together with a ll the same bonus features and commentaries. The only new content in this set is a bonus disc with a new documentary called Unlimited Reserve: Exploring the Depths of the DC Universe. This set is perfect for those who don't own any of the other DVD box sets.

Also released today is Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Volume Two which includes episodes 5-8 in the series. A great stocking stuff for the casual fan, but real fans will want to hold out for the inevitable complete first season box set.

  DVD News and Updates


There has been much to talk about in the world of DVD over the past few weeks. I know I haven't posted this news as it arrived, but here it is all together in one post!

New Releases:

  • Super Friends: The Lost Episodes was released last week. This two-disc set contains some rare Super Friends and is definitely worth your money.

  • Batman: the Brave and the Bold, Volume One was released yesterday and contains the first four episodes of the first season. (Volume two is coming November 10.)



  • Change of Date:
  • Plastic Man, The Complete Collection DVD Box Set has been pushed back to October 20

  • The first volume of Iron Man: Armored Adventures on DVD has been delayed by one week. The new date is October 27. The Blu-ray release has been taken off the schedule.



  • Just Announced:

  • Just like last year's Batman: TAS Complete Series Box Set, Warner Home Video is giving Superman: the Animated Series the same treatment. Although the package doesn't look nearly as nice as Batman's, this release contains all 72 episodes of the series on six discs, plus a seventh disc full of bonus features, including a featurette on Darkseid! The release date is November 24.

  • Also being released in time for Christmas is Justice League: The Complete Series on DVD!

    A spin-off series was produced to include the massive cast of characters in the DC universe. Justice League Unlimited premiered the season following Justice League's finale and picks up right where its predecessor left off. Many people consider Unlimited to be the third, fourth and fifth seasons of Justice League but I have given the show its own entry.
