- What is Warner Bros. problem?
As most of the reviewers have noted, why does WB insist on releasing these pathetic 3-episodes-per-disk DVDs? I would willingly pay for JLA Season 1, 2, etc. In fact, I would pay for the whole series in a single box set. Three episodes per disk is annoying, at best.

Please WB, get a clue and release JLA the way you did Superman & Batman . . .

Now, if we can just get Fox to release X-Men & Spider-Man in Box Sets!!!!! . . .

- Wait for it.
While the episodes on this DVD are definitely worth watching, I wouldn't recommend buying this unless you were a collector. I just think that it's a bit of a ripoff on WB's part for not putting the widescreen version on the DVD. Not only that, but Cartoon Network is currently showing reruns of Justice League Unlimited. If you really want to see these episodes, I would suggest waiting for them to rerun on CN. And if you can't wait for the reruns, the local video store is always a good place to visit! :)

- no way
I've purchased the previous Justice League DVDs, but I refuse to purchase this one or any others that come out. I'm sick of WB's ridiculous marketing strategy with releasing these mesely volumes. Is it so hard to release DVD boxsets? Judging from evidence, we can expect WB to release the Justice League boxset in the year 2015! Oh, but that's just the first season. The season 2 boxset will be released later in 2018! Yay! I officially give WB the 'worst at satisfying customers' award. Way to go, WB! :)

- This is grounds for a class action lawsuit!
I just compared my Justice League Unlimited VHS recordings (that I made from the original airings) to my DVD copy of Justice League Unlimited: Saving the World (S 1 V 1). The process used to make the image fullscreen is DEFINITELY your typical pan & scan of the original widescreen version. I went through segments of each episode frame-by-frame to make sure. For the laymen: the sides of the widescreen picture have been hacked down to make a TV proportioned image and then that image has been expanded to fill your TV screen. Roughly 30% of the picture has been removed.

Sadly, the packaging on JLU: Saving the World lies to the consumer when it states: "Standard Version: Presented in a format preserving the aspect ration of its original television exhibition". This is simply not the case... I have recordings of the "original television exhibitions" and they two items do NOT match.

The information on the packaging is misleading to the consumer and I feel this fact could form the basis of a class action lawsuit.

Someday the stuffed shirts at Warner Brothers home video will figure out what their customers want. Unfortunately while the rest of the DVD industry has fully embraced the widescreen DVD format (it fits those new widescreen TVs better... duh!) AND issuing complete box sets of season series from their production vaults, WB is locked into the old school notion of trickling out incomplete and altered discs of their animated franchises.

What a shame! -mattro

- Excellent Episodes, Poor Release
The episodes on this disc are some of the best of the season, but despite what the reviewer below me says, these episodes have been cropped. His review would be correct in relation to Justice League's 1st Season (2001-2002), but ever since it's 2nd Season (2003-2004), the episodes have been animated in widescreen.

The episodes on this disc are pulled from Justice League Unlimited's 1st Season (Justice League's 3rd Season) and their original format is widescreen. If you see an episode in fullscreen, then you are losing some of the animation. Don't let WB trick you!
