Let’s face it, there really are only two Batman movies, Batman and Batman Begins, the rest were, well rubbish.
So is it really exciting news to hear that there will be a big boxset released with all the Batman movies in one…Well, except the latest Batman Begins, with all new special editions. The news from DVD Times through Comic Book Movie
According to DVD Times, the first four Batman movies (Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin) will be released in special editions coming this October.
…The new and improved DVD’s of the original Batman movies include newly-recorded commentaries (Tim Burton, Joel Schumacher, etc.), both old and new featurettes, and trailers.
New unreleased footage from Batman Forever is also rumoured to be included as a director’s cut running about to two and a half hours.
There’s two things here, firstly they are really trying to sell the movies on the extras here, considering they are awful movies bar one. The second is that they are going after the cash, hoping people will buy the boxset now and then the five-way boxset when Batman Begins joins it. Will you be buying this? Are the extras really making it a worthwhile package?
