I mainly just bought this because it's a Batfamily show. The show itself is interesting enough, but it just doesn't feel well executed. Some of that is the writing. Some of it is the casting. Some of it is the acting. It's a well shot show at least.
The set is light on bonus features, but initial printings come with a bonus disc featuring all five parts of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, so that's cool.
The episodes look better than I normally expect of these DC shows. I think that's largely due to the fact that the season was cut short, so they spread fewer episodes across the usual number of discs these shows use.
It's basically fine. The bonus discs (for as long as it's available) is the real purchase.

I bought this mainly for the bonus features since I own the remastered Japanese Blu-ray.
The picture is good, though not as good as the Japanese BD. Still, it's solid. The subtitles are accurate unlike the previous North American Blu-ray. The subtitles match the Japanese Blu-ray and the North American DVD releases. Unlike the previous North American Blu-ray, there aren't any missing sounds.
The bonus features are pretty entertaining. The commentary is kind of fun if for no other reason than to hear the adaptive scriptwriter tell the story of her meeting with the film's director. I'm impressed that the old US trailer was remastered and included as a bonus feature.

Bar none, the finest this movie has ever looked. The 4K is amazing. The standard Blu-ray uses the same transfer from the 4K and is also stunning. Yes, some shots look soft, but that's due to the nature of how those specific shots were assembled 30 years ago.
With the exception of one bonus feature, you'll find every previously released feature on the Blu-ray? What's missing? The bonus feature "Batman: Birth of the Modern Blockbuster" from the 25th anniversary Blu-ray. It was on its own separate disc on that release. To be fair, though, it is on the digital edition of the movie. So, assuming one likes digital releases and this 4K still comes packed with a digital copy, it should be easy to obtain a copy of that bonus feature.

While I don't care much for this movie, I still have a soft spot for it. The 4K disc looks stunning, and the Blu-ray uses the new transfer, so it looks stunning as well. Best of all, every bonus feature from previous editions can be found on this release.

Honestly, I can't even begin to give enough praise for this movie. It's really one of the best satires of the 80s. The release itself is even better. The unrated footage looks better that it ever has before, though, it is still of lesser quality than the rest of the movie. And the bonus features? Wow. Sure, some things are missing from the previous Blu-ray, but you don't miss any of it given the plethora of material and everything that's covered in the new extras.
If you're a fan or RoboCop, buy this edition while you can!

While I have mixed feelings about Teen Titans GO! in genral, I felt that this movie was actually fun. It does poke fun at the first show, but the creative team seemed to know to poke fun at themselves as well.
In this epic adventure of hope and empowerment, a cyborg, Alita (Rosa Salazar), searches for clues from her past when she awakens in a future world she does not recognize.

I bought this as a gift for someone, but the recipient loved it. He said the disc looked good and the bonuses were excellent. So, I imagine it's a good release.

At this point, I don't know what to say about Supernatural. I mean, if you're interested in the 14th season of this show, you must be a fan. Still, while the show is not as solid as it once was, the leads all continue to turn in solid performances.
The disc itself isn't terrible, but it isn't great either. There's a lot of video compressed on each disc, but since that tends to be WB's MO, what can one expect? Still, if you've been following the show this long, what else can you expect?
