Finally got around to converting
Batman: The Animated Series to Blu-ray!
The conversion was a little tricky, because Warner Bros. initially released the series in 4 DVD "Volumes," each containing 4 discs. Years ago when this collection first started, I made covers to match these retail DVD's.
For the Blu-ray release, WB decided to release the entire series in one package (in both Deluxe and Standard packaging), containing 9 discs for the series itself, 1 bonus disc of documentaries, 1 disc for
Mask of the Phantasm movie, and 1 disc for the
SubZero movie. They also separated the show into "Seasons" instead of "Volumes." Season 1 contains the first 65 episodes from the 1992-1993 Fox broadcasts across 5 discs, Season 2 contains 20 episodes from the 1994-1995 Fox broadcasts across 2 discs, and Season 3 contains the revamped "Kids' WB" episodes from 1997-1999 that is often known as "The New Batman Adventures" across 2 discs.
So here's what I did...
Batman: The Animated Series: Season 1 is available as a 170-pixel-spine cover intended for 6-disc Blu-ray cases. The 5 discs labels have also been provided.

Batman: The Animated Series: Season 2 & 3 are combined into a 170-pixel-spine cover intended for a 6-disc Blu-ray case. The 2 disc labels for Season 2, the 2 disc labels for Season 3, and the Bonus Disc label are provided.

I ignored
Mask of the Phantasm and
SubZero because I have already made covers/labels for these movies as separate releases.
Unfortunately, WB has been rather inconsistent with their release of this show between DVD and Blu-ray, and the broadcast history of the show was rather chaotic as well (between
B:TAS,
The Adventures of Batman & Robin retitle, and
The New Batman Adventures episodes). It was difficult to decide the best way to make covers for this release in a way that would be most beneficial to the majority of users. Hopefully this way of doing things works for most people.
P.S. Here's the cover for
Ant-Man and the Wasp...
