Batman The Complete Animated Series Blu-ray Review

#BatmanTheAnimatedSeries #BluRay This is my exhaustive review of WB's Blu-ray release for Batman The Animated Series. Unfortunately due to decisions, errors and a lack of effort made by the WB studio label what should have been a slam dunk release is VERY infuriating. The set is sadly affected by DNR, poor compression, many glitches and numerous errors. The most obvious issue are the several episodes with COMPLETELY DEFECTIVE audio. None of the errors or defective audio has ever been addressed but apparently WB did quietly fix some of the streaming versions meaning disc buyers are out of luck. 00:00 Introduction and series discussion 17:03 Blu-ray release 17:55 Blu-ray standard release packaging 21:01 Blu-ray extras and legacy DVD extras 28:09 Transfer discussion and picture quality 28:45 DVD maintaining the broadcast look 29:38 DVD vs Blu-ray examples 32:50 An overview of the MANY issues in this set 33:50 Poor compression of the episodes 36:42 DNR unnecessary application 40:46 Gate weave especially in title cards 41:55 Digitized Looking "Catwalk" title card 42:39 Production touch-ups and fixes on the Blu-ray release 43:53 Episodes with completely defective audio 46:46 The other Audio Errors for Opening and End credits 55:46 Credit problems on Adventures of B&R and TNBA 58:38 Video errors 59:16 "Nothing to Fear" Episode 3 end credit disc authoring issue 1:00:53 Be a Clown bad uncolored shot 1:01:49 Original Production Flaws 1:03:59 Riddler's Reform rain scenes SD upscale 1:05:21 Lock Up episode rain scene SD upscale 1:05:42 "Double Talk" episode weird panning shot on Blu-ray 1:06:01 "Old Wounds" episode frame weaving 1:07:21 "Sins of the Father" blue color filter on second half of episode 1:08:00 "The Lion and the Unicorn" soft London fog shots 1:10:28 Discussion of the new HD audio transfer and surround mixing of the show 1:14:07 Bizarre usage of BTAS V4 DVD menu audio for all BD menu audio 1:15:38 The missing Mystery of the Batwoman 1:19:14 Difference in quality between the Blu-ray and original DVD sets packaging 1:23:49 Final Summary
