Now Playing: Batman: The Animated Series - The Heart Of Batman 'Villains' Official Clip

Every fan of Batman: The Animated Serial knows all of this, though, and chances are they have the series on DVD--or have been binging it on the DC Universe streaming service. With that in mind, you might be wondering why Warner Bros. Dwelling Entertainment is releasing the complete series on Blu-ray. Could it mayhap be worth it to go out of your way to pick up this set yet again?

In a word: absolutely. The new Batman: The Complete Blithe Serial Deluxe Limited Edition Blu-ray set up is something you're going to want if you're a fan of the classic cartoon. While this may be the show'southward first time existence released on Blu-ray, Warner Bros. didn't simply dump the episodes onto a new format in hopes of getting Batfans to double dip.

Instead, all 109 episodes of the testify (Batman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures) have been remastered in high definition and have never looked better. The colors in the episodes come to life like never before and are jump to look fantastic on your behemothic TVs. It'south not just the colors that pop, though.

As yous can run across in the images above, the remastering of the serial is no pocket-size feat. As not bad as Batman: TAS is, the previous DVD and digital releases take never looked very good. The picture show has been blurry with dull colors for far too long. This is the handling the prove deserves.

Information technology'southward not just the remastered episodes yous become, though. The fix besides comes with Blu-ray copies of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero, the ii feature-length continuations of the evidence. As with the Goggle box serial, these movies look dandy, though they were never in equally bad a shape as the show.

Every bit great as all these high-definition transfers are, though, they're non the main event of this particular set. Instead, it's the brand new special features that are included. For your viewing pleasure are a scattering of episode commentaries, several featurettes, and near important, a brand-new documentary.

The Heart of Batman runs over an hour in length and talks to dozens of those involved with the evidence, touching on merely nearly every attribute of what made information technology so practiced. GameSpot previously debuted a clip that focused on the villains the series created and developed. If that clip is the kind of matter that interests you, you cannot miss the full documentary.

There's as well some collectibles included in the set, for those who similar physical special features. Each copy comes with a series of lenticular cards, along with three sectional mini Funko Popular vinyl figures--Batman, The Joker, and Harley Quinn. They're by no means necessary and wouldn't exist enough to sell this assault their ain. As an added bonus, though, it'southward pretty nice.

So what'south not so skilful? The only real issue with the set comes in the digital copies. When I outset redeemed the digital code, I was given the iv standard definition volumes that have been previously released. They didn't look cracking and Mask of the Phantasm and Sub-Nix weren't included. That was a major disappointment. Thankfully, Vudu rapidly rectified the problem a couple of days afterwards, converting my copies to HDX and crediting the films to my account. At present I have admission to wonderful-looking copies of the show and movies.

Still, the digital copies include none of the special features, as far equally I can tell. That ways The Middle of Batman, forth with episode commentaries and featurettes, are disc-just. Given that nigh new releases include the special features with the digital copies, this is a letdown.

Honestly, though, that shouldn't be enough to dissuade you from picking up this ready. There's so much to dig through and Batman: The Animated Series has truly never been more pleasing to the center. If you're a fan of the cartoon, or simply want to sentry it for the kickoff time, information technology's worth it to brand sure yous lay your eyes on the all-time possible version of it.
