The high-res transfer for these discs is quite good. However, the original source material was clearly not intended for a presentation at this resolution, and a lot of short cuts, rough lines, low-line-count background or distant objects, and other shortcomings show up quite blatantly. For example, it's pretty common to clearly see a character lose eyebrows, then their nose, then the separation between their eyes as they get more distant in a single scene. At 480i, that was not noticeable. Here it is really obvious.
The colors are great, and the video compression is not a problem, but the audio seems pretty flat.
Of course, these are NOT widescreen, they are 4:3, as originally aired, despite the episodes being designed to be shown in 16:9. I don't mind this so much, however, as it shows more of the environment, and my display can show these as if it were letterbox, cutting the extra and showing them as originally intended. The presence of the extra material is not a weakness in my mind, as it makes them better viewed on non-16x9 screens (like computer monitors). The extra resolution which a full 16x9 aspect presentation would have given would have been a complete waste, due to the low quality of the animation itself.
Also, the chapters are well placed, so it is easy to skip the horrible intro sequence, and the recurring "last time on..." section in more than half the episodes. Why they didn't just link these two (or more) part episodes together, I have no idea.
All and all, it is worthy of an upgrade from the DVD version, but they could have done better if they had wanted to. I'd give it 4 stars, but it started at only 4 due to the lower quality of these episodes, especially when compared to the early Batman: The Animated Series stuff and the later Justice League, and lost another star for the small problems with this edition itself.
Basically, I removed one star for the content, and one for the presentation.
Justice League is on Blu-ray, but where's the widescreen? August 21, 2008 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have no gripes with Warner Bros. releasing this on Blu-ray, but I do have a problem with what they put on this disc (or, I should say, what they DIDN'T put on there). First, the picture itself does look fine and is fairly crisp and clean, but why in the world was it not presented in widescreen, the preference as stated in the very first commentary by the producers??? There's no excuse for that.
Second, there is only the standard Dolby Digital 5.1 which, for those who own the SD version, is an upgrade. The audio does sound pretty good, though it didn't have the impact I expected. There's plenty of dialogue that is clear, making use of the center channel while other speakers are used for the action sequences. Not overly impressive, but a decent effort.
Third, the studio was kind enough to port over all the features but added nothing else. Given the price difference between the two versions ($25 vs. $42), and the fact they didn't bother with a widescreen transfer, they could've added couple new features. How about one on making the Blu-ray release itself? Oh, and speaking of features, adding insult to injury, one of them actually showed a couple scenes from the season in widescreen (non-anamorphic since the feature was in full frame)...
As it stands, this is an OK Blu-ray release but not a must buy IMO. Comparing it with the SD (which I also own), the picture here does seem to be brighter and clean, but is the improvement worth the cost? I'm not so sure. The only (minor) plus side is the 26 episodes are now spread across 3 discs rather than 4 and all the featurettes are on one disc.
Note: I rated this 3/5, however it is closer to a 3.5/5, I just couldn't justify giving it a 4/5.

I have the series on DVD. But I would like different price on it for the blu-ray version. For the die-hard comic book geeks like me.
Very much looking forward to this June 20, 2008 16 out of 25 found this review helpful
As of this writing, there is only one other review, giving it two stars based on the price alone. But it's only a little more than the DVD version, so I'm giving it 5 stars to counter that "review".
Of course neither of us has actually seen the disc yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being a 4 or 5-star product anyway. I own the DVD version and am very happy with it (though the later seasons were better overall), and I plan to replace it with this Blu-ray version, if only to encourage Warner to put the rest of the series on Blu-ray.
Two main things remain to be seen: - How good the HD video quality is. Justice League never aired in HD, so this will be a first. I hope it's better than the Avengers movies, which were full of visual artifacts. - Whether it's presented in wide screen. This first season was produced in standard 4:3, but designed so you can cut off the top and bottom without losing anything important. The DVD has the full 4:3 picture, and so far the specs on the Blu-ray indicate that it will be the same.
