I don't have DTS, but the idea of someone reviewing a DVD without the proper equipment is pretty stupid...of course I'm referring to the remark about having someone with DTS write in and reveal their thoughts on that audio track of the DVD.

Those sound great! I can't wait!
The guy who reviewed that wasn't very good. He acted like Batman came out 100 years ago, it was only 16 years. I mean I'm not saying that it was like last year or something, but he makes it sound like then came out a century ago. Saying he was surprised that anything existed from a movie coming out from so long ago. He even said that it's been so long since Batman & Robin came out...7 years is not a long time.
Sorry that's just me

I agree, Nick....regarding the DVD Town Review -- this guy doesn't even have a DTS decoder in this day and age while reviewing a DVD audio track?! DVD Town is more of a joke than I thought. LOL

I ask because that one wasn't very good- an occasional directional sound effect and Danny Elfman's score in mono- with the minor exception of the opening titles.
It just doesn't make sense writing a review of anything- a DVD, a movie, whatever- if the reviewer is lacking the equipment required, or has researched the subject (if it's not a DVD but something like a book, piece of music, etc.)

Thanks for the posting. I agree with the author on all accounts, ESPECIALLY the cover art. Alas, even though the packaging is part of the entire experience, we must remember that you cannot judge a book by the cover. But damnit, why couldn't the R1 covers be sharp like the rest of the regions covers??
Damn my complete addiction to the Batman movies, for they shall be mine in 4 days.
Furthermore, the extras are going to be a blast to watch. Can't wait!

I just read Shannon's DVDEmpire review- excellent, and very informative!
It makes me more excited about the set, thanks to the details of what you get to see/hear in the extras.
