    Filmation dc library nearly complete :)

    [/B]This is truly an exciting year for DC fans as far as DVD releases go. First, the live action Batman TV series is finally coming to DVD sometime this year. Now the announcement of the long awaited releases of The New Adventures of Superman Seasons 2 &3 and the Adventures of Batman, both by Filmation make the icing on the DC cake.

    THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN SEASONS 2 & 3: I was really afraid that Warner Home Video were going to literally forget about this half of this Superman series. I can't help but wonder why it took seven years to come out with this. I'm glad it's finally happening. Now I'll be able to throw away those homemade recordings of the edited versions of the Superman/Batman Adventures broadcasts from TV. I especially can't wait to see the 2 parters in their original formats.

    THE ADVENTURES OF BATMAN: I think fans wanted this show the most. It is important in that it's the first animated cartoon of Batman ever produced. I was also afraid that Warner Home Video would forget about this series as well. Here, we have Alfred and the Riddler in this series. And Batman and Robin actually get to punch villains in their faces.

    These 2 DVD sets complete all the animated series of Superman and Batman produced so far.

    With the Super Friends now complete on DVD and with the DC Filmation library nearly complete, all that's left are the minors.
    Namely the Adventures of Superboy series and the short lived Shazam cartoon by Filmation.

    Here's hoping the Saturday Morning Era of DC Comics Classic Animation will soon be complete on DVD in the near future.

        I remember someone here asking about these one time, and why they weren't released. http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/New-Adventures-Superman-Seasons-2-3/19435 Once I saw the post about Batman hitting disc, I knew these had to be on the way. Now all we need is Marvel '66 and HB FF.

          These DVD sets will be released on June 3rd.

          THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN SEASONS 2&3 The artwork on the front cover looks more like the comic book Superman from the 60's.

          THE ADVENTURES OF BATMAN For some strange reason, the artwork on the front cover is misleading. It shows the Batman and Robin of the 80's designed by Jose Garcia Lopez who did the Super Powers art. Why they did this instead of the actual Filmation designs I'll never know.

          Both titles are up for preorder on www.amazon.com.

          Hope this helps.

            ^The only reason I can think of using the JLGL designs on the front is that they used the Filmation designs on the 70s Filmation series DVD. I guess it's tradition...as they used JLGL designs on the original "Super Powers" VHS tapes 30 years ago.

                I go my Adventures of Batman set when it was released but am holding off viewings until vacations. When I finish that I'll pick up and the Superman set sand probably do the same, maybe even re-watch the first set as I haven't watched it since I first bought it.

                    Likewise for Shazam!

                    I've enjoyed watching some of Adventures of Batman tonight after so long; Ted Knight is great & I like the original villain Simon the Pieman (he and alter-ego Mother Appel could have been played so well by Jonathon Winters in the Batman '66 show).

                    It's also fun seeing the various henchmen--makes me think of customs, & I think Austin has done several.

                      So THAT is the original! Wow. I thought that was just a repackaging of that 1978 series. This will be nice to have. Thanks for the heads up and for the welcome back on another thread. Good to be home.
