Sounds like you were watching an upconverted SD presentation.

Yes. You and *I* know that but the other poster was watching just the regular TNT version and expecting to see widescreen.

You're right. Forgot that HD broadcasts are featured on separate channels from the standard content. My error. :)

--THX

Also apparently forgot that TNT-HD hardly shows any real HD content at all.

Since I don't, as yet, have high-definition anything, I wouldn't know to begin with. :)

Let's go back in time for a moment. Want to pick some memories. Mine from the theatrical viewing of Batman and all home viewings since don't seem to match for one scene.

When Jack Napier falls into the chemicals, there's a brief camera angle from his POV. My memory insists that that sequence was prolonged when I first saw it, that there was a second shot from his POV. I could swear that's how I originally saw it.

The VHS I got in November 1989 and every TV broadcast I've seen since have all had one Napier POV shot. I remember watching the VHS shortly after buying it, watching that scene, and immediately feeling like something was missing, like it had been cut short.

What do you all remember?

--THX

Sounds like a manufactured memory, THX. No biggie.

Do we have screenshots of the R2 boxset yet?

That, or the reel change point was timed incredibly badly and the operator totally blew his cue.

It's been such a long time since I saw Batman in the theater, so I couldn't tell if there were things edited out for the subsequent VHS release and TV broadcast(aside from the usual shortening for time).

Although some claim that they saw the sequence in the alley where Batman runs into a homeless girl who asks "Is it Halloween?" in the theatrical release. I can't recall, but the scene does exist. There are pics to prove it.

well they put a big fat quote on the one disc release...

Wouldn't it make more sense to post those here? This thread is for the '89-'97 collection, obviously. Just a thought.

I just noticed the DTS symbol on the back.

Wow! I cannot wait for these to come out, it's been so long since I've seen any of them. Thanks for the covers!

Except for the first one :confused:

NO dts track on the first film????? !!

Relax...it says DTS right there in the list of specs.

Ugh...a month and a half more. That just made my morning. thanks :)

Ah, drool.

So pumped up for Batman and Batman Returns. DTS on a WB release :drool:

October 18th is looking to be a bit expensive...

The whole months of October November and December are looking to be REAL expensive :whofart:
