Finally, you can own one of the greatest superhero TV shows ever, as Justice League Unlimited: The Complete Series comes to Blu-ray.
NewsIf you like superhero stuff but haven't seen Justice League Unlimited, the cartoon epic that followed up Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series, you really have no excuse. Well, soon you'll have no excuse. Maybe you had an excuse before, but once Justice League Unlimited: The Complete Series hits Blu-ray thanks to the Warner Archive Collection, all those excuses will vanish, never to return.
I'm really not sure I can heap quite enough praise on Justice League Unlimited, which started off utilizing a more traditional episodic animated adventure series formula when it was simply known as Justice League before it became something as far-reaching and ambitious as the craziest DC Comics stories. By its final season, we were dealing with ongoing arcs and nuances not traditionally associated with superhero cartoons. It's the closest we've come to an animated superhero series trying for the "cable drama" formula.

Here's the official synopsis:
As the follow-up to the popular Justice League animated series, Justice League Unlimited ran from 2004-2006 and featured a huge canon of characters from the DC Comics library. After fighting off an alien invasion in the previous two-season Justice League series, our heroes find their ranks diminished 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. The original seven Justice Leaguers – Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, J'onn J'onzz, Green Lantern and Hawkgirl – are now joined by an unlimited selection of allies including Green Arrow, Supergirl and Black Canary. But some think all this power is too much power and a conspiracy against them grows. After years of foiled plots and repeated beatings, the galaxy's worse villains finally have a plan: strength in numbers! Led by Lex Luthor, the Legion of Doom prepares to dominate the universe. First order of business: destroy the Justice League!
