agreed....has nothing to do with the other four so it won't happen

That's a real shame there is no Box Set.I liked how "Batman Begins" ended, and how it led you right into the first Burton film. I would gladly pick up a Box Set of all 5 films in asecond, and it would be themost cost effecient way to obtain the collection. Oh Well...if it doesn't get done this time around, don't worry, Warner will do it sometime down the road. Anything to make get your hard earned cash(i.e. Star Wars)

Batman Begins does not lead into Burton's Batman, and WB will not do this. It is not the same as re-releasing Star Wars on VHS and DVD a hundred times.

Well, then how do you explain the ending, when some guy says(paraphrasing), "Some person has been terorizing everything around us. He only left his card(Joker). Batman replies, 'I'll look into it.". To me, that led you right into the next film.

Yes, it leads into the next film... BATMAN BEGINS 2 or BATMAN BEGINS AGAIN or whatever. There was so much stuff in BATMAN BEGINS that contradicted BATMAN (1989) that I can't believe so many people think they're a continuous story.

That scene was adapted from the end of the Batman: Year One storyline by Frank Miller than ran from Batman #404-407.

Also, Gordon is already Commissioner in the first Burton movie, not to mention he has never had any face to face contact with Batman. In Batman Begins, Joe Chill killed Bruce's parents (which is faithful to the comics, although in the mid-90s it was changed so that Bruce doesn't know who the killer is). The Burton movie stated that the Joker was their killer. Besides, Joe Chill was murdered at the courthouse.

The bottom line is that Batman Begins cannot be a prequel to Batman because there are so many differences. Batman Begins is as much a prequel to Batman as that movie was a prequel to the Adam West TV series. In other words, it isn't a prequel at all. If Begins was a prequel, there'd be post after post bitching about continuity errors.

guys...your spoilers are showing...I have seen it...but many here have not.

and NO way that it leads into the burton films

(Deep breath)

BATMAN BEGINS DOES NOT LEAD INTO 1989'S BATMAN. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. THE CONTINUITY, STYLE AND STORIES ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. BATMAN BEGINS IS THE START OF A NEW FRANCHISE. IT HAS NOTHING, REPEAT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE 1989-1997 VERSIONS. BATMAN BEGINS IS A NEW ADAPTATION. THIS IS THE TRUTH. ALL ELSE IS FALSE.

Simple really.

Are you serious?!?!?

Sigh.

OK, no need to yell, right? With all due respect, Begins was fine (I prefer the animated series), but if what you say is true, then this begs the question: what's the point? It's been done. Do we really need a new franchise so soon? So they're going to redo the Joker? It's been done! With Jack friggin' Nicholson! This smacks of blatant cash-in, to market to a new audience of 14-year-olds.

Although I would love to respond to this, this isn't the thread for it. If possible, let's stick to the upcoming SEs of the first four Batman films.

Speaking of which, I'm hoping they announce it this week.

agreed...and really guys and gals, don't spoil the movie for everyone who has held out for the dvd

from davis on the international release...i'm sure some/most will carry over to region 1

Batman Begins



Once again, thanks to the BBFC, we've found out some early details on some upcoming bonus materials - this time for the highly anticipated release of Warner Brothers' Batman Begins. So here's what we've got so far: GENESIS OF THE BAT (14:52), SHAPING MIND AND BODY (12:48), BATMAN - THE JOURNEY BEGINS (14:15), CAPE AND COWL (8:17), BATMAN - THE TUMBLER (13:39), SAVING GOTHAM CITY (12:59), DIGITAL BATMAN (1:05) and EASTER EGG #3 - WAYNE TECH (2:28). The DVD has an official street date of October 19th in Italy. Thanks yet again to Andrea for the heads-up.

Dalvin, you really should spoiler that post about the end of Batman Begins out of respect for anyone who has not seen the movie yet.

Thankfully I managed to breeze past the end of posts after realizing there were spoilers popping up (althought after seeing a few :mad: ).. Please! Put in spoilers! I don't quite expect to read about the plot of Batman Begins in a thread about the original 4 DVDs!

C'mon WB - you can do better than 75 min of extras!
