Well, it's out and you're lookin' at one happy camper:
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&dept=... So far I'm on Episode 5: A Little Piece of Home. Man does this series rule the roost. I liked Batman: The Animated Series, but that Shirley Walker opening score just makes my heart pump faster.
The initial 18 episodes of the series are on here, along with commentary for selected episodes. There's also a SUPERMAN: LEARNING TO FLY mini-documentary on creating the series, as well as BUILDING THE MYTHOLOGY: SUPERMAN'S SUPPORTING CAST. I'll review the whole of the DVD set as it comes along, but the presentation thus far is slick. My only complaint is that they made this a two disc set with three discs worth of material; much like the Superman: The Movie DVD, one disc is two-sided, which is kind of irksome. Still, any chance to catch this great series on DVD is one you shouldn't pass up. The scene as Jor-El and Lara place baby Kal in the rocket is moving as all get-out (the sadness of the music always makes my eyes mist a bit). If you want the coolest depiction of Superman outside of the Silver Age of comics, you owe it to yourself to give this boxed-set a look.
