    I know it's not the same as having bluray but the UK are getting the whole Batman: TAS released on dvd; a HMV Exclusive.

    Amazon Instant video in the UK has all the animated series of BTAS, Justice League and Superman and various others that come and go including many of the DC animated movies. Amazon Instant video in the US maybe the same

    But-but...I want them on blu-ray, brought to life with the highest visual and auditory performance. With restored coloring and rich backgrounds, like they were made yesterday. Like a dream, made reality...

    I think they are available on the US Amazon Video, but I'm not one of those guys that buys from multiple streaming sites or anything of that nature. You either go Microsoft or Sony, Netflix or Amazon, coffee or tea. In life there are some roads that are forked and you must travel on one alone. On this principle, I do not bend.

    The ball is in your court, Warner Bros. Justice League will cost you a lot of money whether it does well or not, so take the opportunity to steal millions from the fans' wallets and give us this gift! You need, we need it, get 'er done!

    I have a bit of expendable cash so I have Amazon and Netflix as well as Sky and WWE and a few others lol I cancel some when it's a dry time regarding shows I am interested in.

    Me too I want a great looking Bluray boxset of BTAS, though my movie room is getting over the top with films now lol

    That's interesting as for many years in the UK only the first two seasons were available, I'll have to have a look at that set.

    Edited: Dam that's a good set...

    My resistance is being tested I am hoping a Bluray set appears, though it would look good on my DC shelf lol

    Just realised there is a smaller set for £39.99

    Speaking of the animated series am i the only person who hoped for either

    A solo Batman show in the justice league suit or maybe a series of Bruce in the beyond suit

    I've heard good things about Justice League and JLU. I'm happy I still have those to experience for the first time some day.

    They are absolute must-sees. However, the first season of Justice League is patchy and sometimes bland--Timm and company were still finding their way, and crafting a multi-hero show was a great challenge. They eventually conquered it, because season two is gangbusters--especially "Twilight" (which refers back to Superman: The Animated Series), "A Better World," and the finale, the three-part epic "Starcrossed," which does a perfect job of letting each member of the league take a bow.

    Justice League Unlimited is considered by many to be the apex of DC Animated Universe (I think Timm also shares that opinion). Certainly the craftsmanship--in the writing, storyboarding, animation, and voice work--is more sophisticated and adept than in any previous DC cartoons. Furthermore, JLU remains the most ambitious work in the DCAU, referencing and tying together all the previous series. For me, this caused the show to get a little too wrapped up in continuity and over-ambitious (as seen in the season two finale "Epilogue," which gratuitously rewrote Batman Beyond). But those complaints (which I am in a minority for holding) don't ultimately detract from the scale of the show's achievement. Justice League and JLU are among the greatest achievements in TV animation, and more than hold their own with the most ambitious anime produced in Japan.

    Wouldn't have minded seeing that, @Risico007. Though it was powerful to see Bruce give it all up when he couldn't do the job without using a gun to ward off attackers, and that minute he gets in the suit again to fight to the theme of the old series is extremely impactful.

    I really love his JL suit, and only prefer his look in the last season of BTAS over it when the redesigns started because I love how beefy he looks and how massive the bat symbol is on top of the restrained but strong coloring. I've never been a fan of batsuits with yellow ovals behind the symbol, so that's one thing about the first three seasons of BTAS that I don't like. I'm not mad about all the redesigns in BTAS season 4, but I would give anything to have Batman look like he does there for the entire show. They also really made characters like Scarecrow to a new frightening level in a way that still hasn't been beaten. To see that as a kid was crazy, as was Batman getting shot and bleeding in a cartoon.

    Man, that news made me give a loud cheer. It seems we were right to take the Phantasm release as a sign that WB were doing blu-ray remasters of the show, in accordance with the big 25th anniversary. I cannot wait to revisit the show and my childhood in beautiful remastered quality!

    I kept waiting for them to release them on blu-ray but it wasn't happening. I was just going to buy them on DVD. Glad I didn't do that yet.

    @QsAssistant, I just thought this myself the other day. Good thing we waited! Now I've got something to look forward to in 2018, marathoning my favorite childhood show.

    If anyone's interested, the Dark Knight Returns figure set. It's £24.99 in B&M UK Stores. Much more expensive online.
