90 minutes is far too short to tell a complete history of DClrs"s 75 years. Too many notable events, characters, and storylines fall through the cracks. I&rs"m not saying they needed Ken Burns to handle the project but the documentary, while well done, comes off a little slender in terms of content. Since the documentary was produced by Warner Bros., who owns DC, donrrs"t expect anything hard-hitting or controversial. While it makes mention of the Golden Age Captain Marvel being a rival to Superman in sales, nothing is said about the fact that DC put Captain Marvel out of business in 1953 when it sued Fawcett Comics claiming copyright infringement. To its credit, it does spend the bulk of the time on the Golden and Silver Ages which is the companyrrs"s most important period. Good, but we were expecting much more and the lack of any DVD extras makes this a tough one to recommend for a purchase.
