DC Comic fans have been treated well these past few years with the ever excellent collection of DC Animated original movies. The last few releases have come bundled with the rather excellent DC Showcase shorts higlighting the C-list characters of the DCU (These being The Spectre, Jonah Hex & Green Arrow). The 3 shorts mentioned come complete (& slightly extended though it's barely noticeable) here with the brand new 23 minute short Superman/Shazam!: The Return Of Black Adam. Is it any good? Average is how I'd best describe it. The truth is were given a somewhat origin story of the Big Red cheese & his attempts to stop Black Adam's rampage with the help of The Man Of Steel. Compared to an episode of say Justice League/Justice League Unlimited it barely registers as meh. Special features on this Blu-Ray include commentaries on all shorts (which are quite interesting) & a handful of Batman/Justice League episodes handpicked by Bruce Timm which include all the characters from the shorts. So is it worth picking up? Unless your a Die Hard collector of all things DC Comics and haven't seen or own any of the shorts from previous releases it's hard to recommend to anyone else to be honest. Ah well, Roll on 2011 for All Star Superman, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights & Batman: Year One :-)Read full review
What you have here is 3 short stories (20-25 minutes each), rather than the typical 70 minute animated films from this line. Each story is solid but 2 of them (Green Arrow and the Spectre) can be found as extras on other DVDs.

WELL DOES NOT PACK A LOT OF PUNCH BUT SURE GIVES A DEBUT TO THE CHARACTER IN ONLY 20-30 MIN. WITH EXCELLENCE BUT SERIOUSLY ONLY "20-30 MIN." THE OTHER SHOWCASES ARE SAID TO BE EXTENDED BUT I DIDN'T FIND ANY EXTENSION. SO, SERIOUS ADVICE IN TWO WORDS "RENT IT"
