Batman Collection: 4 Film Favorites [4 Discs] [Blu-ray]

The 1st four Batman movies look and sound great on Blu-Ray plus extra features not on the DVD's.

Waiting on Batman VS Superman soon on theaters 2015

It has been quite a while since these four Batman movies were released but they have great casts and directors: Batman (1989): Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger, directed by Tim Burton 126 min Batman Returns (1992): Michael Keaton, Danny Devito, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, directed by Tim Burton 126 min Batman Forever (1995): Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Nicole Kidman, Chris O'Donnell, directed by Joel Schumacher 122 min Batman and Robin (1997): George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman, Chris O'Donnell, directed by Joel Schumacher 125 min I had standard definition versions of these movies but the Blu-Ray versions are essential if you are going to watch them on a big screen TV. Grab this bargain collection - you won't be sorry!

This multi title package is the perfect complement for those of us who purchased the 4K steel book collection, only to find that the Blu-ray discs with all of the special features were not included. I ordered this so that I would have all of the special features and thankfully it was value priced at $15.99.

It was such a great deal four Bluray movies in one case. And not to mention old movies! I couldn't ask for a better price. I don't think you can buy those movies anywhere else. So thank you for having them.

Batman and Batman Returns are both fantastic films by Tim Burton spearheaded by an amazing performance by arguably the best Bruce Wayne / Batman Michael Keaton. Batman Forever is a fun enough movie if only to see Jim Carrey playing the part he was born for in The Riddler. Batman Forever is more a comedic film that is fully aware how dumb it is. It is a fun film to make fun of and watch with friends in a comedic way. All four films look really great in Blu-Ray, displaying a significant upgrade from the DVD versions. This is a great collection.

I already owned the first two on Blu-Ray. Michael Keaton's first one, "Batman" was an excellent movie for its time, despite the obligatory Tim Burton weirdness and the factual deficiencies (e.g., The Joker did *not* kill Bruce Wayne's parents, etc.), and despite Kim Basinger's incessant screaming. Danny Elfman's film score was excellent, and even Prince contributed to the soundtrack at the insistence of Jack Nicholson ("Joker"). As for Jack Nicholson, there was nothing really special about his performance, even though he got top billing. He just played the same Jack Nicholson you saw in "Witches Of Eastwick", only in whiteface. Burton was far less effective on "Batman Returns", also starring Keaton. The Batman was barely in this movie. Burton's silliness was all over this one, and far too much scene-chewing was devoted to Danny DiVito's (very gross) Penguin and Michelle Pfieffer's Catwoman. On the plus side, Paul Reubens, aka Pee-Wee Herman, another Burton alumni ("Pee-Wee's Big Adventure") has a brief cameo as The Penguin's father. Christopher Walken was completely wasted on this project. It wasn't a very good sequel. Keaton left after this movie out of loyalty to Burton because Warner Bros wanted to change directors for the next Batman film. Burton was replaced by Joel Schumacher as director, and Burton was "promoted" to producer. Thus began the slow death of the franchise. Keaton was replaced by Val Kilmer as Bruce Wayne/Batman in "Batman Forever", and while his performance was, at least, "serviceable", it barely measured up to the films that preceded it. You either like Jim Carrey or you don't, and I don't. Never did. I don't think he's funny, and I suspect that the great Frank Gorshin turned in his grave upon learning that Carrey would portray Gorshin's iconic "Riddler". FAIL. Also, this was the first movie to introduce "Robin" played (to absolutely no benefit at all to the film) by Chris O'Donnell, yet another mistake. Robin was a mistake and O'Donnell as Robin was a mistake. I'm surprised that he still got work after this one. If you haven't seen any movies starring Tommy Lee Jones lately, there may be a nexus between his portrayal of "Two-Face" and now. The Bat-suit was deliberately over-sexualized to the degree that it made some folks uncomfortable. The previous two movies, "Batman Returns" and "Batman Forever", suffered from too many villains, too much time devoted to character development of the villains, and too little Batman. And that was about ego. But the biggest ego trip happened on the next one -- "Batman & Robin" unarguably the laughably worst of the bunch that drove a wooden stake through the heart of the "Batman" film franchise for many years, until Christian Bale revived it and then ruined it again. Where do I start? I won't even try. They received a resounding "Razzie" for this movie, and George Clooney had to go on an apology tour for his portrayal of The Batman. It is the reason why I bought this 4-pack! I LOVE bad movies! I own "Plan 9 From Outer Space", for example, and while almost nothing is as bad as that one, this one's in the Top 10! It's not only the worst Batman flick, it also ranks among the worst movies I've ever seen! So, thank you, Arnold Schwartzenegger/Mr. Freeze (who insisted on top billing [ego] -- the joke's on you!), George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell, Uma Thurman/Poison Ivy (anyone hear from her lately?) and Alicia Silverstone/Batgirl. This film was such a train wreck that I would absolutely recommend it to a friend! I like good movies, too, of course, but I love to laugh at the bad ones. "Batman & Robin" is really *that* bad! Far worse than the bad ones that preceded it, by far! It's so bad that Netflix isn't even running it anymore, which is what compelled this purchase. Thank you for your time.

First two are really good then they started to be not so good but for 10 bucks you can't go wrong. Need I say more?
