Warner Bros. started releasing episodes of the award-winning “Batman: The Interesting Series” (BTAS to fans) on DVD in miserly single-disc editions containing four or five episodes apiece. Fan complaints and favorite sense have finally made Warner Bros. realize the potential of this acclaimed and hugely common series and have released the first volume of episodes in a deluxe package: 4 discs, 28 episodes. The shows are presented in production order, with a few variations to achieve the multi-part episodes together. The sound is an improved Dolby Surround 2.0, and the describe is magnificent. There are some extras — not a great amount — but the precise feature here is the shows themselves. There has rarely been an inviting prove that has achieved this level of quality writing and artwork. Heck, rarely do LIVE action shows enact this sort of quality!
BTAS was released as children’s programming originally, but the animators, directors, and writers turned it into something of adult complexity (not that kids don’t fancy it too, but adults tend to be the biggest fans, mostly humorous book lovers) . Freed of the constraints of selling toys, the filmmakers created an intricate note that was just to the black, psychological side of Batman and his adversaries. Instead of sticking to plain formulas usually associated with attractive TV shows, the writers made distinct each episode was something fresh, and kept drama always at the forefront. The animation is spectacular and fluid, the action scenes have a kick to them estimable to many movies, and the orchestral scores contribute to the feeling of something special.
Not all the episodes are ample, of course, and some of the early ones in this package demonstrate the creative team struggling to sight the direction and tone of the demonstrate. But most episodes are marvelous to proper in quality. The writing team did a spectacular job at fleshing out minor baddies like Mr. Freeze, The Clock King, and The Exasperated Hatter into the full-fledged colossal villains with complex motivations. The say work by familiar TV and movie actors also raises the quality of the characterizations. For many people, Kevin Conroy IS Batman…his dismal, edgy sigh is forever rooted to the character.

Here is a breakdown of the episodes and features on the four discs:
DISC 1: Contains episodes “On Leather Wings,” “Christmas with the Joker,” “Nothing to Terror,” “The Last Laugh,” “Resplendent Poison,” “The Underdwellers,” and “P.O.V.” The first episode is the best on this disc, with Batman facing the fearsome Man-Bat. The present really hit the ground running, but the immediate follow-ups are a bit frail. “P.O.V.” has moments of interest because of its modern structure, and “Nothing to Scare” has a titanic finale, but the two Joker episodes are particularly poor; the prove hadn’t quite figured out its style yet. Also on this disc is commentary by Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski for “On Leather Wings,” and a two-minute demo they did to sell the perceive of the series.
DISC 2: Contains episodes “The Forgotten,” “Be a Clown,” “Two Face (Parts 1&2),” “It’s Never Too Unhurried,” “I’ve Got Batman in My Basement,” and “Heart of Ice.” The last is one of the most common episode of the series, introducing the fabulous re-imagining of Mr. Freeze as a tragic figure. “Two-Face” is also a gracious villain origin sage. The other episodes are minor, with a terrible Joker and Penguin episode, but “It’s Never Too Unhurried” is an arresting non-super-villain narrative. The bonus feature on this disc is a titanic 18-minute documentary about the series, with interviews with the producers, writers, and some of the actors. There’s also audio commentary on “Heart of Ice” with Timm, Radomski, and writer Paul Dini.

DISC 3: Contains episodes “The Cat and the Claw (Parts 1&2),” “Peep No Deplorable,” “Beware of the Gray Ghost,” “Prophecy of Doom,” and “Feat of Clay (Parts 1&2) .” The point to was clearly taking off at this point; only “Prophecy of Doom” is a awful episode. “Beware the Gray Ghost” brings benefit Adam West to the Batman series, and is one of the most inspirational of all the episodes. “Feat of Clay” contains splendid animation, and “Cat and Claw” gives us the incredible relationship between Batman and Catwoman. The bonus feature is a Batcave tour, basically a few screens of text and some connected montages of images from the demonstrate.
DISC 4: Contains episodes “The Joker’s Favor,” “Vendetta,” “Fright of Victory,” “The Clock King,” “Appointment in Crime Alley,” “Furious as a Hatter,” and “Dreams in Darkness.” Two lesser villains, Clock King and Wrathful Hatter, become the focus of expansive episodes. “The Joker’s Favor” is one of the best Joker episodes, and introduces Harley Quinn, who would become one of the show’s most approved creations. The two Scarecrow episodes aren’t mighty, however. The bonus feature is a whisk for some of the other DC heroes.
One warning: If you purchase this package, be prepared to peek your free time glean drained away! It’s impossible to conclude watching episodes once you launch, and most of them reward multiple viewings. Recommended as a MUST for all animation and super-hero fans.
These are presented in ‘logical’ order, which resembles production order with some tweaks. For instance, Two-face section 1 and Two-face fraction 2 were not set aside into production help to attend, but obviously it wouldn’t get any sense to establish them on separate DVDs.
