Always love these kinds of videos. Packaging consistency is something I always love, and seeing even subtle shifts like format and company logo placement changing drives me up a wall.

I’m glad you enjoy these videos! Like I said towards the end, the spine is what I see 90% of the time anyways so I feel its important

I only sporadically buy DC Animated movies (mostly on Black Friday sales) and I really don't like that my copies of Long Halloween part 1 & 2 have that DCU spine branding and I'll never complete the entire picture.

Also, Under the Red Hood is still my favorite of all of them so far, but I also really like Batman Year One and Wonder Woman 2009.

That’s a good point about the spine art I didn’t think about. For those not having the desire to collect them all, it just looks strange

This is exactly why I praise that I work as a graphic designer and I can design myself and print a replacement covers for most of my blu-rays. I've been collecting "Doctor Who" and this show was a spine mess. Not only the design, but they also could change the box, from regular plasting one, to a paper one with plastic traces. A nightmare.

I also noticed that there is a Deluxe Edition of "Long Halloween" in UK, combining two movies into one. It has a completely black spine. No matching art.
@Soundout12 Жыл бұрын
That's the case for the US release as well. WB really messed up this who spine art. What type of paper material do you use to print your replacement covers? I've been thinking of doing that myself and been trying to figure what to print them on.

I do something similiar. There's a guy at the flea market here in Sofia, Bulgaria who buys bulk DVDs and Blu-Rays from Germany and sells them for 1 euro each. Some of them have localized titles, and some have that stupid flipped title thing, so I print out a replacement spine (with a fold tab on top to keep it in place).
@BaltanTwo Жыл бұрын
With the power of hindsight and Legion of Super Heroes since out, basically they messed up by ever putting those logos on the Long Halloween BDs, and if you remove those/replace with the deluxe LH, then you’re back to consistent spine art. As long as DC doesn’t do this mixup again!

I personally think the 4K version of a long Halloween got delayed and is getting pushed into 2023 that’s our best case scenario the worst case is it got canceled without us knowing it. Partially because of the discovery purchasing Warner Brothers media.

Hate that they are doing them across all of the animated movies. If it was just across the connected films it would make more sense to me, but I will likely not purchase many of the standalones unless I really like them, but even if I do I would probably put them on the shelf separate and keep the in continuity movies together in chronological order. So even if I did have all of the movies, I don't like the fact that I have to stick Soul of the Dragon, a standalone movie, in between Man of Tomorrow and Justice Society which are directly connected.
@Soundout122 жыл бұрын
Honestly because Soul is the only one off in the line-up, I'm half expecting one of the other movies to randomly pick up the story from that movie in some weird crossover

Fantastic video! So I made the mistake of getting the 4k version of Green Lantern and when I got it I was so confused with the spine art. I thought I had missed a release. I can’t see myself picking up the Blu Ray version just to get them to match but I may have to. Also I was looking at the Long Halloween Deluxe Edition on Amazon and it shows there is no spine art on the side, oh boy.

I ended up buying both formats for Green Lantern and will probably do it for Legion of Super-Heroes too. At some point I just gotta throw my hands up knowing this will always be a mess

they've actually gone insane, it seems even though they feature the same art piece for the spines on the UK releases they're also inconsistent, this is a series of blu-rays ive recently began collecting myself, i started with The Long Halloween Parts 1 & 2 and noticed they had connecting spine art which made me want to collect the lot, however ive just noticed something. on your copies (US) Green Lantern doesnt appear in full until the Beware My Power spine and only his ring is visible on your copy of The Long Halloween p2, however on my releases (UK) Green Lantern is visible in full, and his ring is only visible in Part 1? I also noticed that on your copy of The Long Halloween part 1 that Aqua Man is visible and centralised to the spine however on my UK release of the same film he seems to of been shifted a few CM to the left as his head is not visible and would only be on what i assume to be the Justice Society WWII spine which i dont own yet, its crazy how they cant even stay consistent with spine placement lmao.
