The Batman Legacy for $20.99
 

Best price I've seen for this 4 disk set, at Costco. Includes

Batman
Batman Returns
Batman Forever
Batman & Robin.

I'm glad I waited till today to get these dvds. My only concern is I think I read somewhere that there may be a new disk set for the batman movies. Any news/update on this?

No updates, but you'd figure it'd almost be a given for a new release because of the upcoming movie. But that's about a month away, so who knows?

i believe it was supposed to be the first 2 (the snapper ones) getting the SE's :)

There's been plenty of rumors and talk about it on the DVD forum. Rumors supposedly have a new box set coming out by the end of the year including SE's and a new cut of Batman Forever. If not a box set, then at least individual SE releases. I don't think there has been any offical confirmation, but my guess it's a safe bet for a new release.

i dont think a new cut of Batman Forever is going to make it a better film. but i cant wait for SEs of the first two.

I think SEs of the original Batman movies is a given. Surprised it's not happening in conjuncture with Batman Begins, but when you look at all the other WB first-generation DVDs getting re-released, it's going to happen.

All of the Batman movies are getting upgraded. If you buy the set now, don't say we didn't warn you.

well even considering that the last 2 you couldn't pay me to own, that's still a good price for the first 2

BATMAN FOREVER WAS GOOD!...the one that was beyond cheesy was BATMAN AND ROBIN....Ive read the scenes that were cut from "Forever" and they are excellent...and will surely make it much darker and more in tune with burton's films. The first three are getting jam packed special editions the fourth is getting a rerelease. That says something.

I concur. It brought a fresh return to the old campy tv show Batman since the Burton style Batman was getting too dark and awkward. Batman and Robin was just too fruity.

That's the problem, the old campy TV series was a travesty and should not be revered or held up as the way Batman is supposed to be. "Batman Begins" looks to be a good version to make us for Joel Shumacher's ruination of the franchise.

Of course Batman is supposed to be dark! It's a story about a child whose parent's were murdered in front of him and his grim, lifelong obsession with avenging their deaths by preying on the fears of the limitless cesspool of criminals that make up the city he lives in. How's that supposed to presented lightheartedly and colorful?

Batman forever was good if you have no taste in movies.

It was complete garbage.

nice :crap:

I saw this and decided to wait for the newer versions rumored to be coming.

I liked Batman Forever better then Batman Returns. Batman was the best, and Batman and Robin was just crap.

Glad to find out this kind of information ahead of time! I have been wanting this collection but I guess I can wait a little longer for the upgraded version.

Thanks!

Personally, I think Batman Forever and Batman and Robin were both horrible. It was like going from a cool "Batman the Animated Series" Batman to a cheesy Scooby Doo guest appearance Batman.

Can't wait for the 1st two films to get re-issued.

how can it be a thread crapp if the thread is about the set for $20.99 ? It's not like this is a thread about the greatness of Batman Forever.

it's clearly a thread crap cuz he was commenting about Batman Forever as a movie. He wasn't commenting about the price of the DVDs.

I think you need to reread in the FAQ what constitutes a threadcrap.

So is the new set going to come with Batman and Robin? Im not sure i could stomach paying anything extra for that one.

A man dressed as a bat who fights crime is supposed to be a dark, gritty serious film? Personally i think the Adam West Batman t.v. series pretty much played the character how it should be played.

I think more like he's not stating an opinion.. like why he doens't want it. He basically insulted everyone who liked batman forever and said they have no taste in movies.

agreed the comic has a long history before batman ever got dark and gritty
