Young Justice: Invasion (Season 2) (DVD-R)

I love the show. The Young Justice episodes themselves average a 5-star rating. See my review of  Young Justice: Invasion Destiny Calling - Season Two, Part 1  for an overview of the Second Season YJ episodes. So why only 4 stars? Basically, WB blew it big time when choosing their "bonus episodes". The Season One Part 1 DVDs selected 3 episodes of BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD, each of which gives us some good background on the character of Jaime Reyes, the Blue Beetle. Those were excellent choices to help spotlight that particular character, who plays a big part in the Second Season of Young Justice.The YJ S2 Part 2 collection would seem to attempt to spotlight Virgil Hawkins, aka Static Shock in the same fashion, with 3 bonus episodes. However, here's where it's an epic fail. All of the Batman The Brave And The Bold episodes guest-starring Blue Beetle had been previously released on DVD, but many of the purchasers of this series on DVD may not have bought that show, due to its overall difference in approach to YJ. That's OK; they cherry picked just the ones that were relevant to Blue Beetle. If you didn't own BTBATB on DVD, the Season 2 Part 1 collection gave you just the BB-related episodes. Maybe you might decide you like BTBATB after watching them, and you can go out and purchase those shows on DVD.With STATIC SHOCK being used for the bonus cartoons on the Season 2 part 2 collection, that complete series (4 seasons/52 episodes) has never been released by WB in its entirety on DVD. They did release a single-disc DVD that has the first 6 episodes from the first season. The first 2 of those same 6 episodes have again been chosen to be included on this collection as bonus episodes. The first deals with Static's origin, so perhaps that needed to be included for those not familar with Static's own series. A third bonus cartoon is Episode 12 ("Replay"), which has been seemingly chosen at random, since it has no particular significance relative to the DC Universe.However, and here's where it's frustrating, there were 7 episodes of the STATIC SHOCK series that had guest appearances by other characters from the DC Universe:"The Big Leagues" - Dakota gets a real jolt when the Joker hits town, recruiting a band of Meta-Humans to wreak his own special brand of havoc. Batman and Robin appear, pursuing the Joker. Static must put his hero worship in check as he teams up with the Dynamic Duo to put a shock to Joker's system."Hard as Nails" - Static travels to Gotham City to rescue Nails, a school girl friend of his who has fallen in with Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, who are promising to cure her of her Bang Baby affliction."A League of Their Own", Parts 1 and 2 - When the Watchtower has a sudden power drain, the Justice League are forced to recruit Static to "jump-start" their station before it re-enters the atmosphere. Unbeknownst to either Static or Gear, the power drain also releases Brainiac from confinement."Toys in the Hood" - Static teams up with Superman when the Man of Steel's old nemesis, Toyman, appears in Dakota."Future Shock" - After helping Batman with a case, Static finds himself accidentally sent 40 years into the future, where he has to help the Batman of that era, Terry McGinnis, save a captured superhero: Static's future self. (Static Shock later appears in the JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED series as a adult member of Batman Beyond's Justice League, in sort of a sequel to this episode.)"Fallen Hero" - Static faces off against his idol, Green Lantern (John Stewart) when he causes chaos all over town. This is an instance of a voice actor "talking to himself", as Phil LaMarr voices both Static and Green Lantern.NONE of those episodes listed above has EVER been released on DVD, so what does WB give us as their choices for bonus cartoons? - 2 episodes that were already included in the 6 out of 52 episodes of the show that HAVE been released, and one other random episode. If they absolutely had to limit themselves to only 3 bonus episodes, I would have picked "A League of Their Own", Parts 1 and 2 and "Future Shock". They could have just included a commercial for  Static Shock: The New Kid  to refer people to the first 6 episodes if they had further interest in watching the show. They should at least put out a DVD collecting all the STATIC SHOCK episodes with DC guest stars as a standalone single-disc DVD collection. BOOO, Warner Home Video!!!

My collection of Young Justice is finally complete from Season 1 to 2.This continues Season Two of Young Justice. The disks are two. The first one is dark blue and the second one is red. Both consist of five episodes each. Compared to the previous disks of Young Justice, the menu is different and simple. The main menu is the cover of the DVD disk. The rest of the screens once you go through them are just red. There are subtitles, and audio changes. There are three special episodes available and they are from Static Shock. It makes sense to add these episodes since Static Shock is a character introduced to the Young Justice world. His biography of his powers have changed. There wasn't enough time to really see Static Shock in Young Justice. From the episodes seen, Virgil is characterized as someone in my opinion: loyal, brave, and a teen who is okay with his powers and idolizes the heros at some moments. Besides Virgil, I really enjoyed seeing new characters such as Asami, Tye, and Ed. Then I saw the original Roy Harper become Arsenal. Everything came together. I saw a lot of characters in the spotlight and I wanted to see more moments from certain characters. I saw Zatanna and Rocket be totally awesome. I saw relationships develop. There was sisterly love between Jade and Artemis. There was a problem with Mal and Karen that started from the begining to the end. It showed the issue of growth. I didn't really understand Wonder Girl and Robin because it was so sudden. It was like whoa. Compared to the first season where all the relationships developed had a few hints here and there. That one was surprising. I really wanted to see Jaime reunite with Tye as himself.The season wrapped up pretty nicely done since there were only ten episodes. We learn more about Blue Beetle, the scarabs, the Reach, the War world and the characterization with a lot of characters. We see it all wrap up and show the madness to going undercover and solving the Blue Beetle. I really didn't expect the last episode since it closed the door and opened up a few more doors. I've seen a possible season three plot occur if the show does pick up again.It has been said that there is a possible resurrection of Young Justice if more products are bought concerning Young Justice such as the upcoming video game. No season three was ordered due to the lack of sales from action figures. Yes, action figures. It takes more to run the show with all the money it takes. if you have questions, you can look it up and see all the possible reasons why there is no season three.I bought the series since I buying it to view just online or on Itunes is more expensive and useless since I prefer using my DVD player or computer to view it. Overall i enjoyed the series and I would recommend anyone who just wants to watch it. If you prefer it itunes or amazon then go for it.Disk One: Cornered, True Colors, The Fix, Runaways, WarDisk Two: Complications, The Hunt, Intervention, Summit, EndgameStatic Shock Episodes: Shock to the System, Aftershock, Replay

One of the best animated series available if not the best. It is superior in my opinion even to the highly regarded Justice League Unlimited series. The animation is crisp and flowing , the storylines are interesting and progressive and the voices acting conveys emotion and intent. This series has raised the bar for animated storytelling incredibly high and I would recommend it to any fan of animation.

You could almost say it is better than season 1... but yeah, it is. I love it!!! I just can't wait for Young Justice season 3 to finally come out, so I can add it to the set.

Quick delivery, amazing for any fan

Arrived a little before expected which was amazing. Good image quality and in perfect conditions. It’s region 1, so if you don’t have a region free Blu Ray it would be difficult to watch.

very good.
