  Okay, first off, Batman & Robin was the worst Batman movie ever made but seeing it in Blu-ray made it so much better! Warner did a great job!

  Very disappointed. The video has a bubbble in the plastic and does not play. I would like to exchange it. It was a Christmas present.

  The only old Batman movie that was remotely decent was the first Batman, but Jack played a horrible Joker. I mean Tommy Lee Jones played a better Joker than Jack Nicholson, too bad Jones was suppose to be playing Two-Face, a guy that was suppose to be calm and collective in his plan not a silly clown killing people randomly. I don’t really have a comment on the Pengiun played by Devito. I never really liked the character to begin with.

  And then it goes straight down from there. Batman Returns was horrible, and it doesn’t take a comic fan to see it. Penguins with friggin missiles on their back? WTF?!

  And the number one thing I really hated was Burton’s Batman loved to kill. The thing that makes Batman what he is is that he does not kill, he does not sink to the level of the criminals. There was one scene where a thug threw a grenade at Bats and Bats kicked it back to him. And to top it all off, Bats SMILED as if he were a psychopath! WTF?

  And then there’s the neon lights in Forever and Robin and the worst acting possible. Arnold as Freeze is the worst casting decision I have ever seen. What the heck was Schumacher thinking?

  These films are lousy. Namely because A) They don’t have the same actor playing batman, B) the villians might as well have been that stupid clown from spawn, they all sucked C)Who honestly thought any of these people took the Batman legacy with an ounce of seriousness?

  Pathetic!

  The cartoon series was more serious than these “films” were.

  A couple of months ago I bought the box set of the first four Batman movies for the ridiculously low price of 21.98. I couldn’t believe how low the price was. Well, now we know why. They were simply trying to move out merchandise that will be obsolete beginning on Oct 28.

  So, now that I have all four movies, am I going to be willing to shell out an addtional 50.00 to 75.00 dollars for these special editions? In a word, no. I’m sure a lot of Bat-geeks out there will, but I for one am not one of them. What exactly am I getting? Audio commentary and a few documentaries which I might watch once? No thanks. Improved picture and sound quality? Negligible. The pictiure and sound are good enough already.

  And to be totally honest, all of the Batman movies (including “Batman Begins”) were sort of a letdown for me. The first and second films had great cinematography and acting, but the action scenes were not that strong. In “Batman” it was never explained how the thugs got up on the roof of the cathedral in the last act. That really annoyed me. In “Batman Returns”, the Penguin running for mayor, and the Penguin army with rocket launchers, and especially the penguin pall-bearers, was just stupid. “Batman Forever” had terrible action scenes. I couldn’t even tell what was happening. “Batman and Robin”? It was by far the worst (and gayest) super-hero movie of all time. It made “Mystery Men” look like “Citizen Kane”. It was so monumentally bad that it simultaneously sunk the careers of Alicia Silverstone, Chris O’Donnell, Uma Thurmon (who later recovered), and even Arnold. Why does Batman reveal his identity in EVERY FREAKING MOVIE??? Especially to his girlfriends? Have you ever known a woman who could keep a secret?

  …but I digress…

  Warner Bros has simply learned the marketing ploy that’s been mastered by George Lucas: get geeks to buy the same movies over and over and over by promising something new, something they can’t live without. Does anyone really believe that in a year or two, “The Star Wars Ultimate Edition 12 Disc Box Set, with Enhanced Enhanced Special Effects” won’t be hitting the market in time for Christmas”?

  Did you notice that on Oct 28, “Batman Begins” will be released also, but it WON’T be included as part of this collection? That’s right kids, if you want all all 5 movies in one box set, your going to have to wait another year or two, when Warner will be releasing “Batman: The Entire Saga So Far, Not Counting the New One”, perfectly timed to coincide with the release of “Batman Continues…”
