Rasputin music still has all the 2 discer's and box set on the shelves new and used. Picked up Batman Forever new for $12.99 yesterday. They have them used for $9.99 each. For some reason Batman and Robin is $19.99. Guess they want to charge more for the crappiest film of the series.

Wow! I had no idea these had gone up in value so much. I bought all four of the 2 disc special editions last May when Deep Discount had them on sale for $10.38 each and free shipping. I already had the "Legacy" box set, and was going to put it up for sale on Half.com at the time but the prices were in the single digits for it so I never bothered. NOW I see used copies of it are selling for $40-$80!

As for me, if one looks for a very "rare" boxset of Batman, this is the one to get.. it went OOP since 2004
Al_Tahoe, can you name one that still sells Batman Legacy sets?

I doubt that it would even ship from B&N since it says it wont ship for 1-2 weeks, and a lot of the time that means that they don't have it, and likely wont have it.
And as for the Legacy set, no one cares about that one other than collectors who just have to have every single Batman release, a trend that I'll never totally understand unless you just collect various Batman items anyway. People are wanting the Anthology because it's the best releases of the flicks, full of special features, and it's not just collectors wanting that one.

Well, I unloaded my Anthology just now thanks to this thread. I only listed it for 99.99 so I did not really try to gouge anyone. It sold in less than 12 hours. All these will be Blu-Ray soon enough. I can really live without owning any of them, thanks to the new Batman movies they just aren't that compelling to me. The original Batman in Blu-Ray may make it back into my collection, but I doubt they all will.

), and that's fine. For me, I'd rather go with the best quality releases. The Legacy sets may be more rare, but the fact that the chapter menus don't even include all the chapters for the first movie, let alone any other content, is enough for me to pass.Well, Batman is scheduled to be released on Blu-Ray in March of '09 (along with the others in the Anthology set, I would assume). I would guess that the standard DVDs would be rereleased at that time as well.

But nothing officially announced as of yet? I had heard rumors of a rerelease around the Blu-ray release.

There were also rumors of putting a Complete Batman set, similar to the one WB put of Superman several years ago. It would include the 4 Batman's from the anthology, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and the documentary about Batman that was shown on A&E or the History Channel.

But did you try selling it on DVDTALK 1st?
How much of a profit did you make?
I never have tried Amazon because of their cut they take on what you sell.

Apparently, this are being re-released on 2/10/09 according to thedigitalbits.com:
http://www.thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents
Speaking of Warner, the studio has just set National Geographic's Kingdom of the Blue Whale for DVD and Blu-ray release on 3/31. The studio has also just solicited the previous standard and special edition DVD versions of the older Batman feature films (Batman, Batman Returns, Batman & Robin and Batman Forever) for re-release on 2/10. This COULD mean that the Blu-ray versions we reported on back in November (and which are already announced for release in Japan) are soon to be announced for U.S. release on that date as well. We've got the proper inquiries in and we'll let you know what we learn.

Re: the Batman movies from 1989-1997
That's good news. Despite vowing that I would never own the original films in light of the awesomeness of the two most recent films, I might take this back and pick up the first three, provided the cover art is good and the features intact.
