I am curious if the changed shot from the original DVD release been fixed on the new DVD release. Here's a summary of the change on the original DVD release that I copied and pasted from another Web site:
The Region-1 DVD actually contains two different versions of the film. The fullscreen version is the theatrical version, the widescreen version has one brief shot replaced. It is a small scene near the end at 1:14:06 just before Batman fights the Joker in the Clocktower. In the fullscreen version Vicki Vale gets a disgusted look when she kisses the Jokers jacket and pulls a lint out of her mouth, however in the widescreen version she really seems to like it.
Again, this was on the original 1997 DVD release of Batman. Does anybody know if this change remains in the new DVD release?
Thanks!
Randall

DVD Talk Gold Edition
Just got it today. I'm only through half the special features on disc 2 of the first film - and I can telll you that YES, it is very much worth picking up! If you are a Batman fan - it's a MUST own & upgrade.
Picture and sound quality just kill the original release versions. I did a side by side with scenes of BATMAN, and the original release looks like a VHS copy compared to the new DVD.
I think it's really worth investing in the set over going for individual movies, especially if you are going to pick up all 4, as it's also cheaper. I got mine at FYE - it was $56.99 with a $15 rebate (and I got an extra 10% off with their Backstage Pass program, too) - as opposed to $79.96 that it would have cost to buy all 4 individually (plus $20 total rebate, $5 x4). Plus, you get the cool outer slipcase, too. And, even if you're not a fan of BATMAN & ROBIN (film #4), but were going for the other 3, this way, it's like you're getting it for free.
