Aren't reviews about the product?

"Let me preface this with saying that not a single review I read (barring one 5 star review) said anything about the product itself. They discussed the price. Many even voted this amazing series down at 1 star because of the price. Is that REALLY part of a review?
Anyway before I become a hypocrite...
Batman Beyond is my childhood. I religiously sat up on Saturday mornings waiting to hear the unique opening soundtrack. I loved this series as a kid and now that I've bought the set I expected it to not live up to my little childhood memories. But guess what? It was even better! Older now I see the social commentary going on the aspects of society that is played upon and the witty banter betwen Terry and Bruce is just as good. And the trademark action you may ask? Still there and still breathtaking to watch.
So whether you are an avid fan of Batman, a kid in an adult's body, or even just a parent that doesnt want their kid watching this mindnumming garbage that sits on the wonderful lines and transmission feeds of cable and satelite, pick this up, I doubt you will regret it."
Beyond Cool!

"Just when you thought they couldn't improve on what they were doing on BTAS, along comes Batman Beyond! This one was my particular favorite of the Warner Batman shows, though all of them (excluding the current "The Batman) were exceptional. Beyond was even darker, grittier and more exciting, with one of the coolest soundtracks of any animated show. And this years before The Matrix showed audiences how much better Kung-Fu is with a techno/rock soundtrack! The first season is a particular stand out, focusing on being the new Batman, the villains and bringing Bruce Wayne's company back under his control. Beyond villains are truly groundbreaking, nothing like the originals. My favorites would have to be Inque and Currare, their episodes are some the most exciting of them all. Season 2 tends to focus more on high-school life and teen angst, though there is still a lot of action and new villains showing up. This is the longest season and does get a little bogged down, but still well worth it. The third season definitely revs back up again(they knew it was the last season and wanted to go out with a bang!) The 2-part episode where Batman is invited to join the JLA of the future is a real stand out. Considering the only place you are likely to see this series again is on ToonDisney, where it will be hacked to bits(like BTAS and Superman) this is the only way you are going to see it the way it needs to be seen!"
Batman animation is back

"The only bad thing about this series is that it ended to soon, the stories are superb and the animation is excelent, a must have."
