Justice League DVDs

Warner Brothers have just released Justice League: The Complete Series, one almighty boxed set that contains every episode of the Justice League ever released. There have been a few Justice League DVD releases over the years so I thought I’d list them all to eliminate any confusion.

Separates

The first half of the first seasons of  Justice League and Justice League Unlimited have been released as separates (a single DVD containing 3-4 episodes). There is an assumption among marketers that younger viewers will just watch the same episode time, after time, after time. This repetition can send parents insane, but fans can also find it frustrating that only a couple of episodes from each show ever get released (what’s the point if the kids only “want” one disc). These discs were released under the DC Kids Collection banner.

• Justice League: Secret Origins (Season One pilot: Secret Origins Part One, Part Two and Part Three)
• Justice League: Justice on Trial (In Blackest Night Part One and Part Two, Enemy Below Part One and Part Two)
• Justice League: Paradise Lost (Paradise Lost Part One and Part Two, War World Part One and Part Two)
• Justice League: Brave And The Bold (Brave and the Bold Part One and Part Two, Injustice For All Part One and Part Two)
• Justice League: Starcrossed The Movie (Season Two finale: Starcrossed Part One, Part Two, and Part Three), also released on “mini-DVD”

• Justice League Unlimited: Joining Forces (For The Man Who Has Everything, The Return, The Greatest Story Never Told)
• Justice League Unlimited: Saving The  World (Initiation, Hawk and Dove, Kid’s Stuff)

There was a set called The Justice League Collection. This was a a bundle of first three separate DVDs (Secret Origins, Justice on Trial, and Paradise Lost) in a cardboard box. You can normally find the Season One box set for the same price as this collection.

To confuse things further, Justice League: Injustice For All and Justice League: Brave and the Bold were released under the Kids TV Favourites banner. The boxes say they contain ”two episodes” – I assume these are the first and second parts of the named episodes.

Boxed Sets

Fortunately, Warner Brothers have recognised that there is a distinct market segment of older fans who want to buy complete seasons of shows. As part of the DC Comics Classics Collection there have been two Justice League and two Justice League Unlimited DVD boxed sets. Likewise, each of the Batman and Superman seasons have been released as DVD sets.

• Justice League Season One
• Justice League Season Two
• Justice League Unlimited Seasons One (actually included One and Two)
• Justice League Unlimited Season Two (actually broadcast as Season Three)

Blue Ray

Justice League Season One had been released on Blueray. Season Two hasn’t been released yet, but Amazon have a sign up page for notification of when its going to be released.

The Compete Series

This is the big one. It’s just been released and contains all the episodes and special features from the original four DVD boxed sets. If you’ve never bought a set before this is probably the one you’d want to go for.
