Taking a cue from the caped crusader's comic book rebirth in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One, this 1992 animated series saved the TV Batman from a fate worse than camp and drew an unexpected audience for an afternoon cartoon: adults. The initial five episodes gathered here feature such supervillains as Man-bat, the Scarecrow, and Poison Ivy, but the deliciously demented Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill) steals the show in his two appearances, especially in the twisted "Christmas with the Joker." Escaping Arkham Asylum in a rocket-powered Christmas tree, the clown prince of crime preempts a TV showing of It's a Wonderful Life with his own homicidal holiday treat. It's a solid start to a sleek, stylized, smartly written series that only improved with time. Ages 7 and up.

This feature-length 'movie' began as a three-episode story line on the animated TV series, a superhero crossover where Bruce Wayne visits Metropolis and the Dark Knight meets the Man of Steel for the first time. The two heroes mix like oil and water, the law-and-order Superman suspicious of Batman's rather ruthless methods; but they form an uneasy partnership when Lex Luthor and the Joker team up to take on the duo. To add a personal dimension to the already edgy rivalry, Wayne romances Lois Lane under Clark Kent's very nose. The stylized animation and sharp design of the TV series give the limited animation a sleek, smooth quality and an energetic sense of movement. Timothy Daly supplies the voices for Clark Kent and (in a deeper register) Superman, with Kevin Conroy performing the same vocal trick for Bruce Wayne/Batman; but Dana Delany only has to worry about one persona as Lois Lane. The once-and-future Luke Skywalker, cult film star turned voice actor Mark Hamill, provides the Joker's cackling banter.

The big guns in the superhero world join together to form the Justice League in this hour-long Cartoon Network presentation. When Superman leads the world into disarming the planet's warheads, huge buglike creatures land in several of earth's major cities and systematically begin destroying them, impervious to remaining weaponry.
The conflict pits Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Hawk Girl, and interstellar refugee Martian Manhunter against the evil aliens. They're the same shape-changing beings that desecrated the Manhunter's home planet centuries before, which gives the wise Martian insight into their mad methods. This series has proved to have the same widespread popularity as all the modern animated interpretations of the DC heroes.

It's double the action, double the thrills and double the Goblins as Spider-Man is unmasked and tangled in a web of treachery in Spider-Man: The Return Of The Green Goblin. The Webslinger faces the ultimate challenge when his arch-nemesis discovers his identity and kidnaps his one true love, Mary Jane Watson. The stakes have never been higher as the dreaded Green Goblin tries to take control of the city and bring Spider-Man to his knees. The action gets even hotter when Kingpin and the Hobgoblin join forces in an all-out war with America's greatest crime fighter. It's a world of high-flying excitement you won't want to miss.
Spider-Man fanatics that can't wait another two years for the sequel to the 2002 theatrical blockbuster are encouraged to check out Buena Vista Home Video's second DVD of the web-slinger's animated adventures, which provides enough action and cliffhanger suspense to satiate all but the most rabid of Spidey's supporters. The feature is actually a five-episode story arc culled from the 1994-'98 animated television series. True to Marvel Comics fashion, a multitude of plot threads and familiar characters (including the Punisher) are woven throughout the main story line, which finds Spider-Man struggling not only to defeat the Green Goblin, the Hobgoblin, and the Kingpin, but also to clear the Daily Bugle's Robbie Robertson of criminal charges and rescue girlfriend Mary Jane Watson! It's a fast and furious 80 minutes, abetted by strong vocal performances and better-than-usual animation, though the occasional mix of computer and cel art clashes noticeably.

DVD Features:
    A classic episode from the 1967 cartoon

DVD features
Interestingly, while the feature itself is slated toward younger viewers, the supplemental material has a nostalgic slant that seems aimed toward pleasing their parents. Marvel Comics main man Stan Lee is featured on an optional commentary track, as well as in a 15-minute interview titled "Stan Lee's Soapbox." Both features touch more on Lee's life and the creation of the characters than on the episodes themselves, which may disappoint fans hungry for information about the series. But Lee's enthusiasm and history is a fun and informative background for newcomers to the Marvel universe. The disc also offers an episode from the 1967 Spider-Man animated series (which pits Spidey against Doctor Octopus as well as the Green Goblin) as well as a "Rogues' Gallery" interactive game. Oddly, the fifth (and most important) episode is offered in the supplemental menu, and not as part of the main feature.

Additional features
The real treat of this DVD lies in the supplements, especially The Origins of Spiderman from the original 1967 series, which spices a limited animation style with a great theme song, trippy graphics, a jazzy score, and dark colors that recall the deep inks from an old comic book page. Also check out the "Rogues Dossier," an interactive guide to Spidey's villains with statistics, trivia, and video clips, and video interviews with Spiderman creator Stan "the Man" Lee.
