Rating: Summary: Cool but Lacks Extras Review: A friend works at WB and gave me an early copy.It was OK but it had horible extras.
Rating: Summary: 6 episodes - a good deal for the price Review: For the sake of clarification, the two "titles" on this DVD (School Daze and Spellbound) were previously released separately on video, and are combined together on one DVD. Each video contained 3 episodes of the original Batman Beyond show. As such, this DVD contains 6 episodes : SPELLBOUND / HOOKED UP / A TOUCH OF CURARE / GOLEM / THE WINNING EDGE / DEAD MAN'S HAND. I think this DVD is aimed at two audiences - as a low priced DVD for the kids, as well as for adults who enjoyed the show. I personally would prefer a box set containing every episode, but how many parents would buy that for their kids? Putting the episodes out this way gets both audiences to buy the DVD. This disc contains no extras, but there is a "play all" feature. Picture looks great, but no subtitles, and only one audio choice. Still, I give it 4 stars as I feel 6 episodes for the low price is fair.

Rating: Summary: BUYER BEWARE OF WB MARKETING GENIUSES! Review: I loved this series, and was always disappointed when they were pre-empted by "Pokemon". "Batman Beyond" is for adults, and perhaps that is why the WB is marketing "Justice League" differently. For some reason, the geniuses in the WB marketing department think that consumers will be more inclined to buy "features" instead of episodic cartoons. PLEASE NOTE that there are 6 episodes of the cartoon on this dvd, not two features, and that several of these episodes were previously released on the "Batman Beyond: The Movie" dvd.. Darwyn Cooke is GAWD. Check out "dc: the new frontier".
Rating: Summary: only half satisfied Review: I think its wonderful that Warner Bros has decided to release on DVD School Dayz/Spellbound and Tech Wars/Disappearing Inque to each contain 6 episodes and priced with a reasonable price. However, I am extremely disapointed at the fact that the first 3 episodes of School Dayz/Spellbound HAVE ALREADY BEEN RELEASED as the "bonus episodes" in the Batman Beyond Movie DVD. This is irritating the heck out of me. I was so looking forward to 6 wonderful episodes I do not yet own, only to get 3 new episodes.
Rating: Summary: Great series, disappointed on the DVD Review: I was excited when I saw that this DVD was going to be released. Just got my copy. I thought that all should know that there are 6 episodes on the disc. Great! Here is the reason for the three stars. 3 of the episodes were previously released on the Batman Beyond the Movie DVD as follows: Golem Deadmans Hand The Winning Edge. I do recommend the disc to anyone, but wanted to forwarn all consumers that if they already have the movie, you are really only getting 3 more episodes.
Rating: Summary: batman beyond cartoons Review: The Batman Beyond movies are all great. If you liked all the other Batman movies your like these too. The Batman Beyond series is about when the original Batman,Bruce, is too old to continue and finds a new person to become batman named Terry,a teenage boy. I enjoy watching this series over and over again. Batman Beyond is a new batman for the new age. It's great!!
Rating: Summary: You've got to be kidding me. . . . . Review: Two FREAKIN' episodes on the whole disc?!!! For a little more than double the price Warner Bros. could have done a Season 1 package and sold a whole lot more. Two episodes!!!! On 1 disc?!!! My God, even BTAS had 4 on one disc. When these don't sell I'll buy them for a dollar off the discount rack at a retail store. Maybe.
Rating: Summary: Disappointing duplication of 3 episodes Review: Why Warner Bros. chose to link SPELLBOUND with SCHOOL DAYZ is a mystery, since all 3 episodes of SCHOOL DAYZ are on the BATMAN BEYOND MOVIE DVD. It would have made more sense to have linked SPELLBOUND with CRUSH, since that VHS volume has still yet to make its DVD debut, now that DISAPPEARING INQUE and TECH WARS have been paired up for DVD. Since most people who buy this will have probably purchased the BATMAN BEYOND MOVIE, they already own half of this DVD. While it's nice to get 6 episodes on the DVD (unlike the usual 3 or 4 of JLA or animated BATMAN), there are no extras. The only explanation as to why we are getting SCHOOL DAYZ on DVD yet again instead of CRUSH seems to be that Warner Bros. are unfamiliar with their own product.
