btw, mine did not have the correction slip.

Just to fuck you over.

Mine didnt have any correction notice either.

Nor did mine.

And mine did. Do you see a pattern?

Neither do I?

That makes mine a #4) 2 Disc SE w/ Comic - Incorrect Credits w/ Correction Slip & BB Exc. Cover

Actually, I don't think it would be worth much, as it's only reprints of stories that have been reprinted plenty of times before. I could be wrong, but as a collectible, I don't see this comic as a worthy investment at all.

As a comic collector, I can guess that it won't be worth more than a buck or two. Essentially the cost any fan would be willing to pay if they couldn't get ahold of the comic in the first run...

I just got mine from Costco, in an oversize theft protection case, with comic book (incorrect credits) and no correction slip -- whatever that means.

If they're truly re-releasing this DVD, they should completely re-do the menus on Disc 2. They are one of (if not THE) most annoying, anti-intuitive and downright lame menu designs I've ever endured. Not to mention the completely uninspired menus on the Batman Anthology discs suck hard as well. Another reason I'm not a big fan of Warners. This could have been an Alien Quadrilogy/Lord of the Rings-quality set. Now, it's not even close.

Just got back from the Best Buy in Bismarck, ND - there's about 50 copies of the SE with the special cover left here...

I haven't experienced any issues with mine. I got it via Amazon, pre-ordered a few days prior to the release. I also saw it in the Best Buy in Boston (near Fenway) on release day, but there were no more than 5 or 6 copies and that was at about 4:30. The next day the 2-disc DE was gone, and they only had the single-disc version.

Alright, help out the dummies like me--what the hell is meant by "correction slip"?

Actually, that is not true. Even if it contains reprinted stories, the set will be worth something because there were not many of that edition (the one with the DVD) printed. That scarcity alone will make Comic Book collectors gaga over the 2D DE in the future. In the comic book world, a large part of collectibility is scarcity and popularity of an item.

Just an FYI, Barnes & Noble online is still selling the one with the comic and I found a lenticular version at Best Buy today. It rang up as $19.99 and I used $3 Best Buy bucks for a $16.99 purchase price.

Look back at post 39.

Mine didn't have a correction slip but looks like they had reprinted the comic book with the correct info. I'm curious what the inside cover says on the ones that came with the correction slip.

Probably had the Finger and Kane names mixed up for Artist and Writer.

I have a question! What is the purpose of pre-ordering DVDs. Why wait until they are officially released, and just purchase them instantaneous online, or from a B&M store. This will eliminate many obstacles with the order, and disgrunted buyers, because technically, your not going to receive the DVD no faster until the release date anyway. I've never pre-order my DVDs, too much of a hassle.

1) Sometimes you will get the DVD before release date.
2) Cheaper price/exclusive swag for pre-orders
3) No hassle with going to the store and not finding it, then going to more stores.

just as an FYI, amazon has the new comic book free release up for 40% off:

I'm not singiling you out here, Tom, you just brought up some interesting points. Just a disclaimer.

I don't see the big deal in getting it a day early. Everyone's going to have it that wants it eventually. While it's a minor perk, it's essentially meaningless. In addition, who supplies better incentives, on a pre-order, than B&R's the day of the release? "Batman Begins" in particular, 3 B&M's ran promotions across the country. E-Tailers didn't, did they? That's usually the case for most movies.

Lastly, the hassle? C'mon. Sticking with "Batman Begins" in particular, a movie this popular, barring a recall for some reason, would be EASILY accessible, and more than likely cheaper in a store than online.

Case in point, I pre-ordered "Cannibal Holocaust" and "Bird With the Crystal Plumage", and rightfully so. They're obscure titles that more than likely WON'T be carried by any retail store. And for my point on pricing; Amazon.com had both films for $19.48 on Monday night when I placed my order. Tuesday morning, when I recieved my invoice, the price jumped almost a dollar. The following Wednesday, they were both listed for $22.48. So, e-tailers prices do indeed change, and there's no price guarantee or matching with them as there are in the regular retail outlets.

I don't see any real advantage to pre-ordering mainstream titles online, personally.

No problem. I usually don't preorder online either. I've seen the question before and the examples I gave were some of the usual responses from people who do it on a regular basis.

I picked up the 2-disc set with lenticular cover tonight. It cost me 19.99 plus tax at Best Buy. The same price they were charging for the 1-disc set. That was an awfully tough decision on which one to get.

...and that single disc is about as bare as a new release has been in ages. Does it include the "Tankman" parody, or was that a Deluxe Edition Disk 1 exclusive?

Same here! It was the last and only one-- only slightly dinged but well worth it.

When I looked at the single release at Blockbuster I dont remember seeing the Tankman featurette. I guess it is an exclusive to the 2-disc set. I may be wrong though. I am glad that I did pick up a copy of the 2-disc set of Batman. This is the second time that I've picked up a new release cheaper the second week than the price they had it the week of release. The other time was on Clerks X which was 24.99 on release week and then dropped to 19.99 the next week. A guy at Best Buy hadn't even realized that they had lowered the price. He was a bit upset when I told him as he had bought it the previous week for a few dollars more.

It was a DE exclusive. And that Tankman parody was pretty funny too. I hadn't seen it before and I usually don't like parodies, but it was great.

So unfortunate, I had absolutely no time to get out and buy this over the course of the week and when I did, I opted to go to Borders for books for the kids.

Let's hope that I can find a copy today or I'll have to wait on the eventual re-release sans comic book (which is fine, but the collector in me is quite dissatisfied )
