I have received this fantistic Batman DVD set as a Christmas present.
As a child i used to watch Batman - The animated series on TV, although here in Germany the series was never really appreciated by the audience and, sooner than later, got cancelled.
This DVD box is indeed an investment, a positive one by all means.
Once you have opened the box ( it`s like opening a chess board ) you hold a collector`s book in you hands, listing all the content of 17 discs as well as sketches of the producers !
The discs itslf are held within some sort of vhs-like packaging which , however, is still better than the new digipacks because the discs don`t overlap. Instead you can " turn pages " like you use to with a book and access each of the 17 discs separately.
All in all, the package alone is worth the money spent on this set.
Video transfer is still 4:3 and not 16:9 as I had hoped. However this shouldn`t be an issue at all considering the fact that you buy this DVD collection for entertainement, which it is considering the over 35 hours of Batman animation and the clear and crisp DVD picture quality.
Not to mention the 8 in-depth featurettes and many,many other extras on the never-before released bonus disc.
If you are a Batman animated series fan than buy this collection, especially if you`re not living in the USA, because who knows for how long it will still be available.
