It’s been about four years since we saw the first two seasons of Justice League Unlimited arrive on Blu-ray but it’s been quiet ever since about the final two seasons or a Blu-ray release. Now in-book advertising in some DC Comics releases from this week have revealed that Warner Archive will be bringing the complete series to Blu-ray in the near future. There’s no date given for it yet, or pricing, but this fits in with the Warner Archive model of small scale releases with a whole lot of content. It’s likely to be a barebones release but with a quality video and audio presentation that will make it worth getting.
Plot concept: In a world of alien invasions, powerful sorcerers, vast shadowy conspiracies and ancient gods, the galaxy’s most powerful superheroes return to protect the universe. Since the world’s greatest heroes banded together as the Justice League to battle threats too great for any single hero to handle, they’ve saved the world countless times from unimaginable dangers. But the price has been high. Their ranks have diminished after fighting off an alien invasion and, with new dangers arising at an ever-increasing pace, the remaining crime fighters realize that protecting the entire world is going to take more technology and more manpower. A lot more. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern continue to lead the universe’s most powerful superheroes, along with such renowned defenders as Hawkgirl, the Flash and Martian Manhunter, calling in favors from Green Arrow, the Atom, Hawk and Dove and Zatanna, among others. Together, these fearless fighters are the Justice League Unlimited.
Well, it’s about time! I was beginning to wonder if Warner would ever release this show on blu-ray since Justice League has been out on BD for at least a couple of years now. Better late than never (And yes, I’m getting this).
