Why have one superhero when you can have a whole team of them? That was the idea when DC Comics created the Justice League and teamed up their most popular heroes, including Batman and Superman.
That’s the same premise behind this excellent animated series from the makers of Batman: the Animated Series.
The Earth is under attack from an alien force and the world’s greatest superheroes join together to form the Justice League to defend the planet. The League consists of Superman (George Newburn), Batman (Kevin Conroy), Wonder Woman (susan Eisenberg), Martian Manhunter (Carl Lumbly), The Flash (Michael Rosenbaum), Green Lantern (Phil LaMarr) and Hawkgirl (Maria Canals).
It really creates a multidimensional dynamic that sometimes isn’t found in animated product aimed at children. There’s always something for the adults to latch on to as well.
This three Blu-ray set features all twenty-six of the first season episodes. Somewhat controversially this set features the same fullscreen aspect ratio that the 2006 DVD set used. It should be noted that the show wasn’t truly composed for a more widescreen aspect ratio until season two.
I’m not sure this adversely affects the show as this season was composed more for the fullscreen ration and it was the continuing seasons that took advantage of widescreen (1.78:1).
Warner Brothers has put together a fine Blu-ray presentation and the episodes look fantastic.
