My only complaint with JLU is since they chose to leave Batman on the sidelines for most of the episodes, they altered Superman’s personality to help fill in the void. The Superman/Shazam episode clearly demonstrates how badly they warped Superman. His wanton destruction of Luthor’s park is completely out of character. That Superman ever needs to be lectured on the nature of being a hero and a role model means you’ve got Superman wrong and you need to start over. Any episode without Superman I enjoyed tremendously.

Tom–

I’m not sure I can answer your question accurately, as we don’t really have the high-end TV set-up that many of you probably have. It looks fine on our smallish tabletop widescreen, but from seeing some of my friends’ giant media rigs, I know it might be different on some huge flatscreens.

Here’s the specs from the box:

SEASON ONE: STANDARD VERSION: Presented in a format preserving the aspect ratio of its original television exhibition.

SEASON TWO: WIDESCREEN VERSION: Presented in a “Matted” Widescreen format preserving the aspect ratio of its original television exhibition.

JLU: SEASONS ONE & TWO: WIDESCREEN VERSION: Presented in a “Matted” Widescreen format preserving the aspect ratio of its original television exhibition. Enhanced for Widescreen TVs.

I haven’t had the time to do many A/B comparisons between the two sets, but I suspect that the discs in this set are just straight copies of the original discs, based on the fact that the individual disc designs match the originals and that the original (old) promos/trailers are on the discs that I have watched.

I hadn’t realized that the prices had gone up, but on the bright side, there may be more used copies available if fans upgrade to this new single box.

Hmn, looks like Amazon’s ratcheted up the prices of the single-season sets considerably to get people to buy this new set. I already own the JLU Season 1 set, but it would cost me more to buy the rest of the series individually than to buy the complete set.

The good news is I’m sure I can find somebody to give my Season 1 set to.

When it was originally released, Season 2 was (annoyingly) presented in matted widescreen instead of anamorphic widescreen, so that it will display on a widescreen TV with black bars on all four sides. Do you know if that’s been fixed in this release?
