If Batman Forever is a classic, then that word has lost all meaning.

RapidTransit

given how bad Batman & Robin is, I like to give Batman Forever a little slack

You should have made a seperate thread about this.

RapidTransit

or two

rfduncan

So your dictionary has much different entries than mine for both "classic" and "little" then.

I have the first two separately. Batman is in the preferable "20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Book" case which beats the one in this set by a mile IMHO.

Thanks, but how about prices and retailer in the thread title next time?

Or even better, put this in the Amazon BD bargains thread.

I've had my eye out for this, but haven't paid too much attention to previous sales, etc. Is this price beatable with a normal amount of patience?

RapidTransit

sorry, this is my first time finding a deal that hasn't been posted already. will do next time!

basketb

was $65 for most of June and $60 at the beginning of the year.

RapidTransit

who knows if it will go that low again though

Double_Oh_7

As well as "awesome", these prices are meh!

RapidTransit

my apologies, they seemed like good deals to me

cgray

Thanks! I'll hold out. As far as "who knows if it will go that low again"... unless it goes OOP, how could it not?

(this in in reference to the Star Trek set)

RapidTransit

good point, didn't think about that

Jedi Master 33

All of them suck.

Suprised no one else mentioned it, but the Batman Anthology can be had from Amazon.uk for roughly $30 only. A much better deal obviously.

Schloob1

Shame on you

Batman was incredible, the other 3 yes were not that good.

RapidTransit

Batman 1 and 2 are incredible

Jedi Master 33

Eh, Burton's Batman movies are highly overrated IMO. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight = much much better

MrSmearkase

I find the '89 Batman to be the most dated of all the productions, for some reason (Prince, maybe?)

Batman Returns is the only one amongst the four that I enjoy more now than even when I was 12 years old.

Is it just me, or is "Harry Potter" missing from this thread?

RapidTransit

I didn't realize it wasn't blu-ray, so i removed it after posting, but it wouldn't let me edit the title

Staggerly

Man, I'd be all over the Batman set, but I had to go for the UK imports. (Certificate 15, in case anyone was wondering! It can be hard to tell, just looking at the case.)

Burton's Batman movies are valued for numerous elements: Elfman's score, Anton Furst's gorgeous art deco production design, Burton's German Expressionism influences. They were so distinct in character that they went on to redefine the very universe of Batman for at least a generation. I think The Dark Knight's a great film, but I think it's nowhere near as dense in its artistic interest, or as influential on the character, as Burton's films.
