Justice League 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman April 6, 2019

Best Buy and Warner Brothers have collaborated on a second UHD SteelBook release of 'Justice League.' The first released in May 2018. This new one does away with the comic book-style artwork, replaced by a handsome piano black look with easily identifiable Superhero logos. WB and Best Buy have also re-released 'Wonder Woman' on 4K SteelBook. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on this SteelBook's look and feel.

For a full film review, please see Michael Reuben's writing here; while Michael and I share the same essential likes and reservations, I feel I enjoyed the film a little more and the score above reflects my own. Note that this link directs to the 1080p Blu-ray release of the film.

Justice League 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

This second SteelBook release of Justice League is much less busy than its predecessor. It's built on a glossy, fingerprint-attracting black foundation. The film's title in block gray letters runs vertically down the right-hand side, fading a bit on the top right corner and again at the bottom left. At the top left is the recognizable and SteelBook staple DC logo. Prominently running vertically opposite the title is a collection of six superhero logos, in color. From top to bottom: The Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman, Cyborg, Batman, and Aquaman. Why that order? Who knows. The rear side features a Justice League logo in the middle, in a fairly dull gray/silver color. That's it. The spine carries over the black color and the same gray, block letter title center. A Blu-ray logo appears at the top and DC and WB logos at the bottom.

Inside, the digital copy code is situated underneath the left-hand side tabs. The two discs, one Blu-ray and one UHD, are housed on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that depicts the Justice League heroes in full-body pose across both sides. From left to right: The Flash, Superman, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Aquaman. A fairly large, but not overly intrusive, billing block appears on the bottom left, customary for Warner Brothers SteelBooks.

Justice League 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

It'll be interesting to see if Best Buy and Warner Brothers continue forward with these new, darker, simpler, SteelBooks for the DC Extended Universe films. Unless one has deep pockets it's difficult to recommend to those who already own the previous issue, especially since there's nothing new inside.
