The Burton Batman movies are getting the Special Edition DVD treatment, full with commentaries, Extra Footage and who knows what else.
All I can say is Finally!
About time! I was begining to think it wouldnt happen! I’ll buy the Burton ones separately! Dont really care for the other 2!
Well, chances are that Burton will show up on Batman Forever’s features as well. Hell, he may even share commentary with Schumacher. After all, he produced it.
Wow… BATMAN and BATMAN RETURNS… With BATMAN AND ROBIN mixed in for a reminder how the franchise went to hell in a handbasket!
I guess Warners plans to release BATMAN BEGINS in time for Christmas, with the original Batman pix running a little awareness amping program.

What about isolated tracks or Danny’s commentary ? When the SE were supposed to be released two years ago, I read about it many times but these new announcements don’t mention them anymore. It would be really nice…
At least you can buy the DVDs in the series seperately. I prefer to imagine Batman & Robin never happened.
OMG, somebody give me CPR, the films are getting DTS tracks!!!

I always told myself to not buy the versions that were out now because special versions would come out and now, NOW my dreams have finally come true! No deleated scenes from the first two but what ever! Theres a music video for “Face to face”! Didnt know one even exsisted! I wanna watch the special features for the second two but i dont want the movies! Maybe 3, but not 4! Not at all! No commentary by Elfman which is kinda sad but there is a whole feature for his music on the first disc! I cannot wait any longer!
Don’t get too hyped about the “Face to Face” video. If it’s the one they had out in the 1990’s and not some new studio re-cut to music, you may be a little weirded out. It’s only video of siouxie singing. There’s no Batman footage. Instead there are two strange-ass he-she blond-1980’s-looking guys dancing to the music (and I use that word loosely).
