The Batman: Season 5 (DC Comics Kids Collection)

Fifth and Last season of the cartoon series

Having watched Seasons 3 and 4, I found I really didn't care for "The Batman" series. The stories were weak, the series incarnation of the Joker was annoying, and the series incarnation of Batgirl was so annoying to the point of being exasperating -- she was a scrawny, cheesy, one-liner machine who lacked the dignity of previous Batgirls. Most annoying of all was the soundtrack to this series, driven by awful synthesizer music that at times could be so jarring as to distract from the stories themselves.That said, the fifth season was a pleasant surprise, the only season worth watching, IMO.The main reason for this is that almost every episode features one member of the JusticeLeague colleague as a guest star. Superman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow,Martian Manhunter, all of them make an appearance at one point or another (would haveliked to have seen the mighty Wonder Woman make an appearance too, but it was notto be, unfortunately). It is fun to watch Batman's stoic and analytical personality vis a visthe colorful perosnalities of the Justice League, from Flash's zaniness to the Martian Manhunter'sotherworldly weirdness. The stories are much more interesting and faster paced. The appearanceof the uber-annoying Batgirl is kept to a minimum, while Robin (a more interesting and likeablecharacter in this series) is given greater screen time.I would advise that you skip the rest of this series, and just purchase this last and final season. It will make an excellent addition to your animation collection.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I liked this show so much more than BTAS. Wish they had continued into a Justice League series. This had a great introduction to several of the other heroes.Good pacing, good action, good humor, good voice acting. The action sequences are a lot of fun, not the dull slow action of the old 90's series.Great show

I have had this series, DC Comics Kids Collection of The Batman for quite some time now. Previously I had purchased The Complete First,Second,Third,Fourth, and now the Fifth Season on DVD. I have alway loved animation/Cartoons, and with each year they seem too just get better. The art work is incredible to watch. The colors are well used. And the best part is that all of the villians have some depth too them. Each episode is able to stand on its own, due too good script writting. The introduction of other super heroes is well done. Like Green Arrow, John Jones, The Flash & Superman, all leading up too the coming of the Justice League.Again, The Batman series stands on it's own, but in view of the big picture the Justice League story is nicely introduced without taking away from the Batman.Although The Batman series is made for children, there are still many one liner that only adults would get.This may sound cliche, but, it truly is a cartoon that address's Kids of all ages.I highly recommend it for all Super Hero Fans and Collectors.Thank You for reading my review, I hope you get as much enjoyment having this series as I have.And without commercials, Woohoo.Buddha

In Season 4, the writing and art improved.Also, the last scene of Season 4's final episode introduced the Justice League.This season will see Batman interacting with both his own Gotham team (Robin and Batgirl), and the Justice League. Superman is added to the cast of characters too.We can expect a great 13 episodes to wrap up the five season series.Cover art looks terrific too.The series has told back stories not covered in the equally addictive (Kevin Conroy voicing:) Batman cartoons of the 1990s. The gradual introduction of the Justice League as semi-regular supporting characters is a plot device in both The Batman Season 5 and Smallville Season 6.Enjoy them both for comparison.And Warner, how about throwing in the live 1997 Justice League pilot as an extra in future releases of DC shows. I'm surprised it never made to the Justice League DVDs, when they came out.

Solo estaba en región 1 pero ni modo, después de Batman TAS, para mi es lo mejor en series animadas de Batman

These are great DD's to start a child off into the world of super hero's, not to violent. But be warned the toys are now collectables, so if you want the toys as well, may require some searching

Cool cartoonsEnjoy able for young and older.

Bought this for my children, since their cousin has it. It has a calm theme, not as dark as the first two in the series. They changed the theme in the third season and continued in the next two. Great for children that are into Batman. Different style of art but still enjoyable to watch. Definitely recommend purchasing this item.

Pas parfait, car manque la VOSTFR mais la VF est présente donc à posséder pour tout vrai fan de la chauve-souris.
