I would guess all the films would receive the SE treatment. Honestly, why wouldn't they do that? I think sales would be pretty poor if they forced you to buy a whole boxset just to get a Batman SE. I certainly wouldn't buy it. Also, I hope they do this boxset the way Fox did the Alien Quadrilogy where you could buy the movies individually so I could just get Batman and Batman Returns. Although, it would be interesting to hear Schumaker do a commentary of Batman & Robin if they chose to do that.

I would get the box set, I am a big Batman fan but was not really happy with 3 & 4, hell even 2 to be honest! But I do enjoy all four movies. It would be nice to have SE of all 4 but if they only do Batman thats also fine in my book. The set will probably mirror what was done for Superman. I have held out this long for the other movies only having bought Batman (my first DVD by the way). My only issue is they MUST be anamorphic transfers with digital sound!!!
As far as buying them seperatly, they will most likely release them as a set then down the road split them up, again like Superman (although Superman was available by itself all along I think?)

That said, 'Batman Forever' has significant cuts, check out the IMDb for more info (I've read it, but I honestly couldn't tell you anything other than there's a very different opening sequence, and the Two-Face fight that opens the movie now is from an hour or so in).
Also, there's some minor cut on the 'Batman' widescreen DVD which is out now (but not the fullscreen side), from what I understand, but I don't think that would count.

I liked the two Burton films OK and didn't really care for the Schumacher ones. But that Adam West series -- man, that's where it's at!

If anyone at WARNER BROS. is listening, please find a way to include the superb 20/20 segment that aired shortly before Batman premiered in '89. It gives a very nice overview of the production with Bob Kane discussing the origin of the characters, the many incarnations of Batman over the years, a brief overview of Tim Burton's career, a walk through the Gothan City lot with the late production designer Anton Furst and Danny Elfman in his studio discussing the music. I'm assuming Disney owns the rights to this but its inclusion would be a gem.

Maybe the new Batman flick can use Egghead and we can see Vincent Price's face superimposed over some stunt double's face. That would be sweet. Or even better yet, we could see Liberace's Chandel CGI'd in. Now we're talking!

No more fighting, if they release a 4 box set they will also individually release each movie from the box set. Oh, but then you will want the additional disc with the extras...
I just saw Batman on tv last night. I can't wait to own it on dvd. Gotham City looks incredible.

My favorite part of B&R was when Alfred referred to O'Donnell's character as "Master Dick"

Im sure they'll release at LEAST the first movie spearately. Loved it when I saw it and will double dip for this one. Nicholson should have gotten a freakin' Oscar, or at least a nom for this.

I never understood why Batman and Robin costumes had rubber nipples, but Batgirl's didn't?

Also, what did they call 'American Graffiti' when they re-released it? I'm not trying to disprove what you said, I'm just curious if anybody knows.
