Summary: Another Batman TAS DVD
Review: Batman the animated series is probably the best TV show ever created, and this DVD captures some of its best moments. Here are the episodes.Two-face:
Harvey dent has a problem with another personality that is unleashed when he gets angry. So he goes to see a shrink about it. Then crime boss Rupert Thorne gets ahold of his file and tries to blackmail him. Then, after an accident at a chemical factory, his face is damaged... Two-face, pt. II:
Harvey Dent's face is turned blueish-green on one side, which causes his other personality to be dominent. He then becomes the crime boss known as Two-face. It's never too late:
A Mob Boss named Arnold stromwell is about to be rubbed out by another Mob Boss, Rupert Thorne. Batman rescues him, and shows him that his son has ended up in a drug-rehab center. Then, after a frightening recollection of a moment from his past, he vows to make amends. I've got Batman in my Basement:
The Penguin steals a valuable item from a museum, and Batman fails to stop him. Meanwhile, two kids discover Penguin's lair. Batman also finds him, and is incapacitated during a fight. The kids rescue him and the egg and take him back to their basement. The penguin then comes for the egg, and batman stops them.

Summary: While We Are Still Young
Review: I am a very big batman fan. I watched Batman: The Animated Series as I grew up and I thought it captured the essence of batman and his world magnificantly. In my opinion, the original batman animated series was one of the best shows in animation ever. I am beyond greatful that Warner Brothers have started to release the series on dvd and vhs. I have the first two volumes and I loved them. The only thing I am concerned about is how the shows are being released. It will take to long to release the entire series at this present rate. I don't want to sound bitter but it's true.

Summary: classic episodes in an average dvd.
Review: I will make this short. I understand that people are unhappy with the last two dvds. But in this dvd the episodes are truly greate, and in my opinion out of the four episodes, tree of then are classic, what any show should be. The dvd may not contain that many extras, but really folks what do you wath extras or the classic episodes?
Like any fan of batman the animated series I would have liked to see more episodes and extras, but this tree episodes are worth the price.

Summary: Where are my Joker Fish?
Review: If WB is going to give us pieces at a time, make them the pieces we want! The re-creation of the classic Joker Fish story (see Strange Apparitions for the pring version) was nailed near-perfectly, right down to the smiling fish sign, and even the character design for the doomed patent clerk! My point is this: If they want to do this chronologically by production (another mistake, it should be by release), they should let us have what we all want: a lot of episodes. Small sets like this are tailor-made for best-ofs, like the "Batman," "Robin," "Riddler," "Two-Face," and "Joker" collections on VHS.

Summary: Heads up!
Review: Just a little heads up for those interested in this disc. Toonzone is reporting that WB plans on doing box sets of BTAS (both series) at some point in the future. Also, Columbia House is currently releasing all of the episodes on DVD (6 per disc). 10 discs are reportedly available. No extras on the CH version. The video transfer is supposed to be id to the WB transfer. Choose wisely!

Summary: I've got batman in my dvd player
Review: This DVD is a welcome addition to the growing Batman: TAS DVD collection (keep 'em coming, WB!). The first two episodes, Two-Face Parts I & II, are possibly the darkest episodes yet released on DVD, but also quite good. "It's Never Too Late" is almost a preachy episode about a crime boss needing to change his ways and so on, but the lesson it teaches is a good one for people today, especially those who are into crime and so on. Actually, I'd say there's probably too much of Rupert Thorne on this DVD--not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but I wanted to see more supervillains, personally. Lastly, "I've Got Batman in My Basement" is a nice story about kid detectives saving Batman's hide and tangling with the Penguin and his goons. All in all, it's a great DVD. I like the idea of making a box set for this stuff, but individual DVDs are all I can afford right now anyway, so I won't complain about that because it's either this or nothing for me. I say, patience, and enjoy the Batman we have for now. I highly recommend this DVD.

Summary: Amazing Television Show
Review: This ranks as quite possibly the greatest Animated Show ever created. The episodes (and the movies) are pure genius. I have been a fan since it first came out. The episodes may be great, but the DVD is poor. Four episodes is nothing. There are 109 episodes in this series, not counting the crossovers with Superman and Static Shock. There is news that Box Sets are on their way. Hopefully this is true. All Batman fans know that this classic television series deserves the box set treatment. Looks like we're finally getting what we wished for....let's just not push it!

Summary: At least the good episodes have arrived...
Review: Those who have been boycotting WB's poor BTAS releases may find themselves sorely tempted to pick up this DVD. Not because there are more than four episodes, or because the audio/video has been remixed/restored, or that the extras will be longer and better - but quite simply, because this is when BTAS makes the transition from "good" to "classic." The definite highlight here is the Two-Face two-parter (fitting, isn't it?), which WB thankfully had the common sense to put on the same disc. Harvey Dent's transformation from tortured soul to disfigured mob boss captures the emotional maturity and complexity of the series perfectly, and should not be missed. "It's Never Too Late" shows another aspect of why BTAS was so successful: the ability to play up the underworld/mob aspects of Gotham, and the human interactions that make Gotham feel real. The last episode, "I've Got Batman in My Basement", is unfortunately a clunker. The Penguin was one of the few villains BTAS never nailed, and his appearance here as well as the story of kids defending a helpless Batman will make most viewers cringe. However, the three previous exceptional episodes help make up for this. While the overall presenation of the disc is below par, the episodes are worth owning, so BTAS fans should feel somewhat more satisfied with this release than the previous ones.

Summary: Amazing Television Show
Review: Well, I love this show. I have bought the previous two Batman TAS DVDs. I love that I have these on DVD, but my biggest complaint is the number of episodes. FOUR? There were 85 total episodes of the show? I was very happy to see this DVD coming out 6 months after the last, but at this rate we will need 11 years to collect 22 DVDs to have the collection. Are you kidding me? I just got the "Family Guy" 4 DVD set of the first two seasons. It has 28 episodes packaged nicely. Why don't they do this? I have the identical complaint about the Justice League DVDs. The SHOWS are the best! Warner Bros. is just packaging them slowly and conservatively.
