DVD Reviews of Justice League - Paradise Lost

DVD Review: At least the discs are being sped up
Summary: 2 Stars

The one piece of good news about this release is that WB is appearantly speeding up the production of its single disc releases, from 2/year to at least 3, and maybe even 4. The thing is, who really feels good about buying 3 seperate discs when most companies are releasing full seasons for a little over the cost of one and a half?

To add to that, the two story arcs on this disc again, highlight many strengths of the series that are unfortunately cancelled out by some blatant flaws. The first arc, Paradise Lost, focuses on the rather underused Wonder Woman as she returns home, only to find her mother and sisters frozen in stone. Wonder Woman then enlists the help of the rest of the League to combat the sorcerer Felix Faust and Lord Hades, who has been freed from Tartarus. Despite a stunning finale that truly represents the epic scope of the series (and voice work from the actors that've played Freddy Krueger and LotR's Gimli) and the emotional pathos it can accomplish, the first half suffers from a rather drawn out fight between Superman and Wonder Woman that seems to be a time filler. There are some plot holes, like why the best plan the League can think of is to give Faust the key to Hades' realm, then immediately try to get it back from him. And finally, Superman gets slapped down like a red-headed stepchild.

The other story arc, War World, is probably the worst arc of the season. Hyped as an episode meant to showcase Superman, the real star here is the slave warrior Draaga, who slips in out of nowhere to steal the spotlight off Superman.While this actually makes sense plotwise, it disappoints because Superman puts up a rather poor showing. Did he forget about super speed? Is his flight limited to hovering a few meters off the ground? Is he only allowed to use heat vision once before it has to recharge? The arc does, however, explore the interaction between Green Lantern and Hawkgirl, and also gives J'onn some rather funny moments.

By now everyone knows the "care" WB puts into these releases. Strong audio/video presentations aside (and that's only because JL is a recent show), expect limited extras and quickie featurettes. I'll give Timm credit though, he dishes out a lot of good information, and makes use of the limited time. If you bought the two previous DVDs, there's no reason not to buy this one, really. WB has confirmed that it won't do season sets, and the episodes here, overall, are about the same quality as the previous releases (even counting the disappointing War World). A JL set would be worth five stars. This single disc release is only worth two.
