Description:
The legend of the fabled Dark Knight continues, in five thrilling episodes from the award-winning Batman: The Animated Series, from battling the killer comedy of The Joker to the first fateful encounter with the diabolical Two Face, Batman explodes into action!
Amazon.com:
Gotham City's dark angel of the night returns in episodes 6-9 of the hit 1992 animated series. Boldly drawn, austerely designed, and animated with fluid motion and dynamic action, these pre-Robin episodes are not necessarily the best the series has to offer (as producer Bruce Timm comments in his introductions, "we were still struggling to find our voice"), but watching the evolution is fascinating. The caped crusader is still treated as an urban myth by the Gotham City population and an outlaw by the police, which is used to its full dramatic potential in the disc highlight "P.O.V.," a Rashomon-styled episode in which three witness paint three very different perspectives of the mysterious Batman. The DVD also features a rematch with the Joker ("Be a Clown") and a short supplemental featurette on the voice cast. --Sean Axmaker

So you obviously all know that you can get all 3 real volumes and a 4th now, so only buy this if you see it at cd tradepost for like 5.99, otherwise the volumes 1-3 are some of the best investments in DVD History. I rate them right up there with lord of the rings and newsradio as best buys.
If you don't want to dish out the money but still want to see a few great episodes from one of the top 5 shows in the history of earth, than I can barely recommend this, however 4 AWESOME shows. ... Read More

"Batman - The Animated Series - Tales of the Dark Knight" contains episodes 6 to 9. These are really good episodes that contain villains like The Joker and The Sewer King.
The episodes are:
6) The Underdwellers: This is a very Oliver Twist like tale, where children are made to work like slaves underground for the Sewer King. People think that leprechauns are stealing from them at night, but it is actually these homeless children. Batman captures a child and takes him to his ... Read More

Like everyone else, I think Warners is doing a severe injustice to the excellent Batman series by releasing it in skimpy disks of four episodes a piece and releasing them in the order they were made instead of the order they were aired. At this time of the series Bruce Timm, who wanted to do a series based for the most part on the comics of the 30s, 40s and the truly great decade of the 70s, was fueding with the then-script editor who appeared to want a Superfriends-esque show with a friendly and socially ...

Although I'm generally with the crowd that's clamoring for season-long box sets of this brooding, involving animated series, these single-disc offerings aren't all that bad. In this case, for a few loose bills you get clean, sharp prints of episodes 6 to 9, a brief but interesting piece about the casting of the voice talent for the show, and nice intros to each episode by producer Bruce Timm. Oh, yes-- you also get a little "brain-teaser" game to play, but even my forgiving self can't find it in his heart ... Read More

WB really give the impression that they are totally uninterested in doing anything even remotely special with their valuable Batman properties on DVD.
They know there is a market out there for season boxed-sets of this show (due to repeated requests made to them from the public) - why would they choose to ignore this?
My advice would be to vote with your wallet and wait until WB wake up to themselves and treat this award-winning television show with the respect it fully deserves.
