Your best bet is to hit up DVD/record store/comic/specialty shops, like Bullmoose Music, Newbury Comics, and SoundGarden (these are all Eastern based things, but I'm sure there's some similar shops). They usually sell DVDs less than other stores, and also have a wide variety of used DVDs that also sell for less.

Bullmoose specifically...I snagged seasons of Samurai Jack for 19 bucks.

I know for a fact that Bullmoose has a website, and you can order through them, and their prices are pretty ****ing good. All new releases are two dollars less than the lowest price of that DVD in the area. IE, Wal Mart sells the Mist for 20, and they sell it for as low as 16.88

Also, don't be terribly afraid of snagging dvds from the 'New & used' section of Amazon. You can get most of those DVD sets for around 20 or less.

Man, I was there a couple summers back, and saw the Electric Company Volume 1 at the cheapest price I have ever seen it. Even better than newburry. Of course, since it's in new hampshire, I don't go there too often.

Best Buy may have it for a decent price, but some of their box sets cost more than certain other stores.

i'm wondering if these are still available myself. The Batman TAS boxes that is.

Like To The Nines said, I recall seeing them at FYE recently too. Not sure about Best Buy, but would think so.


* Edit: Just remember -- If have a BJ's Wholesale around, I have seen the Batman TAS Sets there on-and-off in recent months too.

Thanks for all the advice. Deep Discounts (even though I hate them for slow shipping and customer service) is having a 20 percent off sale from 6-6 to 6-20 (enter: DDAF as a promo code) so I'll probably get the rest of Batman + Mask of the Phantasm and mabey a Beyond season.

Question: I remember watching Justice League a bit as a kid but I can't seem to remember how much Conroy changed his bat-voice in the series. I know he did atleast a tad, any one care to explain further?

One thing that I noticed in JL/JLU is that Conroy sounded a little raspier (in some eps you'd think he has a cold). His voice doesn't have the same deep tone that you can detect in Batman: TAS. It sounds a little closer to his eighty or so year old self in Batman Beyond, but also different. In the episode "The Once and Future Thing" Part 2, young Bruce meets his older self and there are differences in pitch, tone, etc. that are evident.

I often wondered about that too, but it makes sense since the Justice League is later in the timeline...

Cool, I thought so.

Another question to anyone who's seen most of the DCAU shows in whole: What order would you recommend watching them in? Right now I'm thinking Batman, Superman, Justice League, Batman Beyond then Justice League Unlimited.

You pretty much have it right. For me as a viewer, that's the order that I watched them in. Also don't forget the awesome "New Batman Superman Adventures" show between Superman and JL. Here's the intro, which gave me chills of excitement when I was eight because it was so full of awesome:

That order is important due to timeline issues. JL, for exmple makes a lot more sense if you watched both the Batman and Superman shows, and JLU only makes sense if you watched Batman Beyond (especially "Epilogue", the season 2 finale), etc., etc. Also, don't skip out on any of the direct to video/TV films if you can find them, especially Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Batman and Mr. Freeze:SubZero, and Batman Beyond:Return of the Joker, because they all matter to the continuity.
