    @Fire_and_Ice_Returns, you fiend, you! I kid, happens to us all eventually. I own three or four varied versions of Casino Royale, all on blu-ray.

    I just like some of the special editions and see them like ornaments, I have three versions of the Matrix films, and three versions of a few Bond films that I have ended up getting Steel book versions of lol

    I fell into the same steelbook craze, as well, had to repurchase a few of the Bond films for that reason alone! I think I have the steelbooks for FYEO, CR and QoS, though FYEO arrived completely smashed and bent in, unfortunately.

    That's not good could you not get a refund at the time? My recent Steelbook purchase of Rogue Nation in 4K the disk jumps midway through the film for a few seconds, unfortunately it was the last one though I got it so cheap, I just thought ill pick up the regular 4K version cheap one day and exchange the disks.

    It was after the craze died down and I found it for dirt cheap, didn't feel like messing with the hassle of returning it and trying to track down another copy, but he did refund me a few bucks so it balanced out, I suppose.

    Yeah, can't stand when I realize a disc skips, particularly when it's months after I purchased it and I can no longer return it.

    Keaton's two were amazing; Bale's 3 were awesome. Others do not exist for me.

    If we’re talking about just the live action films, I’m in the exact same boat!

    Yes, the animated series & movies are another story. Still, the 60's Batman with West & Ward and Clooney's film are very funny, if you're in the right mood. Why's the rum gone?

    Not impressed with the art work, another lazy UHD cover. I hope it changes or offers a better alternative prior to release.

    If that were the real cover, I wouldn't want it in my house.

    That is seriously naff.

    What's wrong with the original film poster? That was iconic and cool.

    Just give us the logo. That logo screams 1989 like nothing else.

    Exactly. Yellow in a black background. Simple, effective. Iconic.

    I will buy it because I collect Batman memorabilia and various versions of the films and animated movies etc.
    Though I will be looking for steelbook versions of the films as those covers are hideous.

    I can respect that

    God, that art work is horrendous. Oddly this is the only scenario I've ever come across where B&R comes off as the least offensive.

    the issue with Batman & Robin much like Jaws 3 a stronger film could be made out of it


    honestly a script rewrite and an edit would of made a stronger film (maybe someone besides Clooney as I don't know if he can do dark)


    I mean if you dropped all the ice puns, the ice skate nonsense, and bane in his entirety the film might actually be ok...


    of course a full rewrite from page one would be required to give us a great film but yeah...


    in 2 weeks from Saturday I will post my full thoughts (of course this Saturday is the better of Schumachers two entries Batman Forever)

    I am resigned to thinking it will happen when it happens, very much like how Bond 25 was

    "Of course, we’ve also heard that Warner Bros. has asked Reeves to beef up the action in recent drafts — a stark reminder that the studio still needs to sell superhero spectacle if it wants to cross the billion-dollar mark at the worldwide box office, which neither Batman v Superman or Justice League managed to do."

    Does it NEED to cross one billion? I can't help but think of WB chasing all those possible merchandise opportunities with Batman Forever / Batman & Robin (especially the latter).

    @MajorDSmythe
    Yes, that is the thing these days. If you don't haul in over a billion dollars, you're considered "a failure". Think BvS, JL and indeed SP. These three films are called "bad" by a lot of folks on these boards and one of the arguments that keep being brought up is: it didn't make more than a billion dollars.

    Box office numbers and records never interest me, the only thing that matters to me is whether a film is good or not.

    Regrettably I missed a special screening of Batman (1989) today :( and I'll also miss the one they're doing for Batman Returns (1992).

    That's a shame, I was lucky to see Batman in the cinema back in 89, I vividly remember my reaction when the opening credits started it was a great experience.

    I posted this elsewhere but I figured why not post it here too

    Batman Forever


    where do I begin...

    first it feels like Val Kilmer and Nicole Kidman are in a completely different film... they are in a serious dark and kind of adult batman film

    Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey are playing for the kids (poorly I might add)

    the rest of the cast is a mix

    Chris O'donnel is far to old to be the "boy wonder"

    And where did Two Face go after he killed Grayson's parents

    over all its a mixed bag but I liked Kilmer as much as I did that I am gonna bump it up higher then it should

    Kilmer was a decent Batman and Bruce, I enjoyed the film when it was released, I saw it three times at the cinema. Its daft and some of the action is good, the film does step over the line though in comparison to Batman and Robin its Shakespeare.

    I hated Batman Forever. At least after a few beers, Batman & Robin is funny....

    Batman Forever has its merits but never again, please.
