Continue below to check out the menu system and disc art for the recent Young Justice – Season One, Volume One DVD release from Warner Home Video.

The Young Justice – Season One, Volume One features the first four episodes from the new animated series from Cartoon Network and Warner Bros.

Young Justice – Season One, Volume One is the first in a series of planned home video releases for the acclaimed comic book-inspired cartoon.
While final sales numbers cannot be currently verified, first week sales estimates for Young Justice – Season One, Volume One for the weekend ending July 24th, 2011, fall below the 30,000 mark, along with the DVD release failing to place on all major sales charts. Again, this can be attributed to the multiple consumer reports stating the general shortage of the disc’s availability.
Young Justice – Season One, Volume One, on sale for the suggested retail price of $14.97, is available at all retail and online retailers. The next Young Justice home video release is expected to be announced later this year.
