Wow Warner really wants my money this summer.

I've never even heard of this series, I'll have to check it out, but I'm glad more DC animation is getting put on Blu-ray. Though I'm still waiting for Warner Archive to put the Harley Quinn animated series on Blu-ray.

Something tells me that the show won’t last beyond season 2 and they’ll be giving us a “complete series” set later this year. 😞

I'll have to put on my flight ring in celebration.

[Eddiedane]

Hey! I wrote an episode of this! This will be the only TV I’ve written I’ll have in proper HD on disc.

I don’t know about not going beyond Season 2 but I had the same thought that they’ll put both seasons out on Blu while doing singles on DVD.

While there is nothing officially putting these shows in the same canon, but I've long seen Legion of Superheroes as a sort of sister series to The Batman from 2004. Both were on the Kids WB is the same era.

I don't remember Superboy looking like that in the cartoon. Was this cover art from the later episodes? Am I being spoiled?

Still no Superman Animated Series, come on Warner Bros.

Yes this is from the second season of the show.

They'll give that the BTAS/Beyond treatment.

Good to see this series finally getting a complete home video release after years of being one of the few recent-ish DC animated series that was never released on DVD in its entirety. I don't know if that was as a result of the problems surrounding the Superboy lawsuit, but in any case it's good to see that season 2 will at last be hitting disc.

I still hope a complete series widescreen release of The Batman, plus The Batman vs. Dracula movie will also be released by Warner Archive at some point.

Warner continue their streak of putting Disney to shame when in comes to their comicbook-based animated series being released on physical media.

That didn't seem to work out for The Zeta Project, Justice League Action and Krypto The Superdog.

Batman The Animated Series isn't even complete, it's missing episodes from The Batman / Superman Adventures just like the Plastic Man "Complete Collection" is missing the Baby Plas and Plastic Family episodes.

I'm sure we'll see those in the hypothetical Superman Complete Series blu-ray release.

The "missing episodes" were all episodes of Superman: The Animated Series. When the episodes were released on dvd they were spread across both volumes 2 and 3 of STAS and all of those episodes were also on the Superman: The Complete Animated Series dvd set, not in volume 4 of BTAS or the dvd version of Batman: The Complete Animated Series. At this point, there isn't any reason to believe the same thing won't happen, if/or when a STAS complete series blu-ray release happens.

[ShellBeacher]

This is cool and all, and I'll probably pick it up because I only really caught one or two episodes originally.

But Warner Bros. or WarnerArchive: PLEASE RELEASE "SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES"!!!

[Chaz05]

I guarantee that they would have announced Superman at Comic-Con had it happened this year. I bet it releases in the fall.

My mistake.
I thought the blu- ray only included episodes from Batman - The Animated Series and The New Adventutures Of Batman & Robin, not episodes of The New Batman Adventures which was half of The New Batman / Superman Adventures. (They used the same BTAS intro for all the episodes).
The real missing episodes seem to be the Batman / Superman and Batgirl / Supergirl team-up episodes that must have been from the Superman half of the show.

But, I'm still right about Plastic Man.
