I have watched Paradise Lost and War World and both episodes are great! I have collected all the 3 Justice League DVDs so far...

Two two-parters inhabit this disc, both (disappointingly) in Pan & Scan (aka full screen). The title two parter, "Paradise Lost" is strong, with a good story, animation and voice acting. The second (and weaker) two parter, "War World", is much as it was in the comics - a setting to make known characters get to lay the smack down. The presentations of the story are enhanced by the excellent Bruce Timm introductions - but a word of warning; if you haven't seen these episodes, watch his comments AFTERwards. Bruce always tends to give a bit of the story away. Another aggravating item - Chapter Stops are basically absent; for example, one must sit through (or fast forward) the full intro when watching each episode on the disc. A good stopgap until we someday get Season Boxed sets - in widescreen, please.

Warner Bros. seems to have little clue about marketing their DC-based tv series. Whether's it Batman, Batman Beyond, Batman/Superman, or Justice League, they produced only substandard dvds to date. Now Justice League doesn't reach the level of some WB previous efforts, but it's far better than that sad excuse of a series, Teen Titans, now on Cartoon Network. I digress....
Anyway, I simply won't fork over money for this DVD containing a lousy pair of 2-part episodes. Come on, WB, either release season box sets or at least offer six episodes, which would be just over two hours in length. I suspect that some heads need to roll until WB realizes that they can both milk and nurture their fanbase, a win-win scenario for everyone. Until such a time, there's plenty else here at Amazon.com to satisfy everyone's DVD needs.....

The first installment benefits from its outstanding voiceover work from Susan Sullivan ("Hippolyta"), Robert Englund ("Felix Faust"), and John Rhys-Davies ("Hades), along with series regulars Susan Eisenberg ("Wonder Woman") and Michael Rosenbaum ("The Flash"). It also has a slam-bang finish featuring a battle between JLA and skeleton warriors called up by Hades. The fight is similar to Harryhausen's magnificently staged finale to "Jason and the Argonauts".
Unfortunately, this episode is paired with the worst episode of JLA's first season: "War World". There is very little noteworthy about this poorly written installment.
One might call it "Superman in Thunderdome".
There's just very little "lightning" around.

Ok, So I have bought these Justice League DVDs so far because well they are high quality have a few special features thrown in and have been in release date order so I can imagine them being a seasonal set. HOWEVER Now, for no real reason the WB has decided to ignore that and release to Episodes out of order! This Disc should contain 'Injustice for All' & 'Paradise Lost' However it contains 'War World' instead of 'Injustice for All' Messing up the order of the series. I really don't understand what the WB is doing, they won't release seasonal sets, they won't release the Wide-Screen Version of Justice League, they barely put features on the discs and they put their discs in some of the ugliest Kiddy Boxes I have ever seen! How about releasing the widescreen version in a season set, because adults have money for season sets and like widescreen and the kids can keep their out of order standard versions. I mean I know WB just wants to sell and make money but come on at least try to put out quality product.
