justice League Cartoon Question
I've been on somewhat of a Batman kick lately and decided to buy into the Justice League series. So far the only set I have is "Justice League: Unlimited Season 1". Now from what I am to understand this is the third season of the series and the first in a re-vamp of the first show. Now from what I saw there's only four seasons and several movies.
So why I posted is to ask anyone who follows this exactly what DVD releases I should get. I don't want any movies that are just two-parters mashed together, which DC has done before(The first Batman Beyond movie anyone?). I also saw a movie called "New Frontier" that is supposed to be about them getting together is that tied into the series? I'm only one disk in and there's been several episodes involving past events that I'd like to better understand. So if anyone doesn't mind could you please make me a list of the essential DVDs, including movies, to complete this collection. Also since it makes several references to Batman I wonder is this series also directly connected to the Superman series? If it is I might pick up that series as well. |

The movies are all just multi-part episodes spliced together except New Frontier, which is a continuity of its own. But, yes, all the Dini/Timm DC Comics animated TV series are interconnected (Batman:TAS, Superman:TAS, Batman Beyond, Zeta Project, Static Shock, Justice League, then Unlimited).

Yeah, like Gobo says, would need to get all that's out there of the DCAU (DC Animated Universe) to have the whole scope of things (for instance, stuff in Justice League and Unlimited can even trace as far back as Batman TAS).
Except for Static Shock and Zeta Project, the rest of the DCAU is out completely on DVD. |

But Zeta Project is reportedly going to be released on DVD soon. I hope that opens the door for Static Shock. I really think what sold that show was the chemistry that Phil LaMarr and Jason Marsden gave their characters. The same reason why the Weekenders worked so well too.

Well yes, Zeta Project is coming to DVD. Was just noting for what's already out/available.

Well, on that vein, strangely enough they did give Recess DVDs (prior to the Direct to DVD ones, that is). |

Well I just finished watching the last of Unlimited. I can't believe they wrapped it up in one episode almost. I mean that was a huge thing to have in just one episode. Still it was very cool. I'm sad it's over. I watched some of the bonus features and the creators talked like they were going to do more so I guess we have to see. It seems they focus more on movies now though.
