Question about Justice League Unlimited DVDs

I was putting JL and JLU on my Netflix list and noticed that Netflix doesn't have JLU season 3. They have JL seasons 1 & 2 and JLU seasons 1 & 2. Is season 3 available on DVD? There was a season 3, right? :lol:
 
there is no 3rd but if you want to you can run the old JusticeLeague cartoon and the new JLU cartoon back to back which is something like 5 seasons combined? Plus I think they have a number of direct to dvd prequels/sequels
 
Thanks. Frakkin' Wikipedia. Under Justice League it's says "After its second season, it became Justice League Unlimited, and ran an additional three seasons."

Yeah, I was plannin' to watch all four seasons in order.

The DCAU proper consists of Batman:TAS, Superman:TLSoK (aka Superman:TAS), Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, and Batman Beyond. Some people inlcude Static Shock.

There are no "direct to dvd prequels/sequels" for the DCAU. The DTDVD "movies" are produced by Timm and his team, but are NOT part of the DCAU continuity. (Though if you squint and look sideways at Public Enemies, you can ALMOST make it fit.)

What about The New Batman Adventures, The New Batman/Superman Adventures, The Zeta Project, and the Batman: TAS movies?

The first two are just extensions of B:TAS and S:TAS, so yes. Likewise with the B:TAS movies. I'd honestly forgotten Zeta Project. I would assume so, but, like Static Shock, few people pay attention to it and AFAIK you don't lose much by excluding them.

Assuming you mean TLSoK to mean "The Last Son of Krypton," that's only the title of the opening movie/3-parter, not the series as a whole. The official name of the series is simply Superman: The Animated Series.

And yes, Static Shock is unambiguously part of the DCAU, though it wasn't folded in until its second season and didn't adopt the DCAU look until its third. It had multiple crossovers with Batman, Superman, Batman Beyond, and Justice League, and an older Static appeared in a JLU 2-parter. The Superman episode of Static Shock is a direct sequel to the second Toyman episode of S:TAS and brings closure to it.

And I don't know where you get the idea that "few people pay attention" to Static Shock. It was one of the highest-rated animated shows on FOX during its run, second only to Pokemon, and in reruns on Cartoon Network its ratings were even better.

Either way, same series...thanks for the correction though! :)

Ok.

Ratings notwithstanding, it doesn't get talked about much, and there's no real impetus for SS or Zeta to be brought back in any substantial form.

I personally have never seen either, and there's never been anything in the other T-verse shows that absolutely required one to have done so to "get".

That's not intended as a slight on either show, by the way...
 
^Actually DC has recently incorporated Static and other Milestone characters into the main DC comics continuity, although Static's the only one they've really done anything with. And they put him in the TV show's version of his costume.

I'll agree that Static Shock and The Zeta Project are peripheral members of the DCAU, not produced by Timm and being aimed at a younger audience than the rest, and having different visual styles as well (though as I said, SS's last two seasons were in more of the standard DCAU style of the time). But SS has enough ties to the mainstream DCAU (thanks to its many crossovers, and thanks to Dwayne McDuffie being showrunner both on it and JLU) that I think it deserves to be counted. It was also a pretty good show at its best, though an uneven one.

As for Zeta, that's one I never really got into, though I intend to get hold of the DVDs eventually to complete my DCAU chronology.

How does that work? Back during DC's "Worlds Collide", the DC and Milestone characters were shown quite specifically to be living on different parallel Earths. They didn't invoke the multiverse concept, but they might as well have. How are they explained to be living on the same Earth now?
 
^I dunno. I've only heard about it, I haven't read it. But DC has incorporated characters from other universes into its mainstream reality before, including the Fawcett characters (such as Captain Marvel), the Charlton characters (such as the Question and Blue Beetle), and so forth. I would assume that as part of all the multiverse reshuffling DC has done in recent years, they managed to fold Milestone in there.
 
Of course! That explains everything!!!

You know, that's actually kind of funny because the other Superboy, Conner Kent, was one of the prime players in "Worlds Collide".
