Warner Bros. remastering "Batman: The Animated Series" for Blu-Ray (1 Viewer)

[Osato]

I want the bare bones set as well. I already have two of the three Funko figures that were presents this last year. Still, this is a very historic series to me, the second best Batman series after the 1966 Adam West series.

Agreed on bare bones set and the Adam west series!!!

Would it have killed them to skip sleeves? I mean, there's only 12 discs.

 

[Sam Favate]

My copy arrived late last night (Amazon sure takes their sweet time on deliveries). The box is not made of strong cardboard (like the Adam West set) and got dinged in shipping. Nevertheless, it's an impressive set. The kids and I will enjoy this tremendously over the next several months. Screenshots from The Digital Bits look amazing.

But would it have killed them to put the discs in *standard* viva cases and have the book just a book? I absolutely detest book/disc sleeve packaging! I have replaced several sets that used that type of packaging when they were later released in standard cases. Others I've just caved and purchased normal cases for them and put the "special" packaging in storage.

Amazon currently has this set for $61.99... hurry... it likely won't last long (It's been bouncing between $100-$120 for a couple of weeks).

Just 90 minutes later already back to $89.99 and out of stock. oh well I can wait.

Let's try a different release... This time at Walmart and the "regular," aka non-box of junk edition:

Batman: The Complete Animated Series (Blu-ray + Digital Copy) $49.49 with free shipping or free store pickup.

Thank you! This is the version I've been waiting for. And if you don't mind delaying the shipping by a week, Walmart will take another $0.25 off.

It'd be hilarious if the digital copy for the "regular" release is in HD, whiel the digital copy for the limited release was in pre-remastering SD.

What do you mean?
Hasn’t Warners made the digital copy available in HD now?
I thought it was fixed.

A quick Twitter search confirms that is the case. Glad to hear it. If I'd bought that set, I'd have been pissed.

I'm not even sure of the release date -- it's say pick it up next week, but I thought the official release date was the 12/11 anyway so take extra 0.25 since it's not likely going to be here anyway.

I wonder if you take the 0.25 option if that would push you to 12/19?

Edit -- I see others got the digital part, but The Digital on the Deluxe was supposed to be fixed a couple weeks ago -- new redeemers get HDX right off and the prior redeemers were supposed to auto-upgraded though some people have still had to call to get things straightened out.

Well, my set arrived today and karma has rewarded me for my snark with a missing digital copy insert.

I will post pictures of the unboxing once I've got that issue squared away with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

EDIT: Once I was able to provide sufficient proof of purchase, Warner Bros. was extremely responsive about clearing up the issue. One of the best customer service experiences I've had in a long, long time.

Here are the promised photos:

There are twelve discs in total, in two cases with two sided flaps for all of the discs. There is a booklet listing which episodes and special features are on which disc. There's also an ad for the DC Universe streaming service.

Other than the issue with the digital code insert being missing, I've very happy I waited for the standard release.

The Digital seems to be a common issue with this set. It appears whoever assembled the package used the Canadian instructions about what was to be included. I actually thought that maybe WM was sending the Canadian set, but the pics shown by the others showed the Digital Banner, no French on the cover, and US UPC

One other person mentioned that the 2 cases were slightly different styles, though from what I can see yours appear pretty identical

That's exactly the packaging I've been waiting for and am now a bit sorry I didn't go ahead with a WM order! I *did* cancel my ~$62 box-of-junk version with bad packaging order at Amazon after seeing your images. I'll gladly wait for the standard version to come back down in price (and it will...) and get that instead.

 

[BobO'Link]

And now Amazon has dropped the price of the standard release to $69.96 (matching WM's current price) - with shipping in "1 to 2 months" (WM has 2 day shipping and it's apparently in stock).

I feel like it would be wise to wait on this title.
Even if it’s a year I think it will be sub $50.

That's my feeling too. I'm quite happy with my DVD set and can afford to wait.
