Tim Burton's Batman's out of print?

[NY Yankees 23 2]

I was on amazon the other day and saw that Batman and Batman Returns aren't available through amazon but are available through other retailers on their site? I checked Target, Walmart and Best Buy and they aren't listed anymore either? The Batman Anthology is gone as well? I want these 2 movies and am ready to kick my own ass for not getting them earlier. So are they out of print or what? Anybody know the story?

Have you tried the WB shop? Thats where I got Returns for $3.

You can get those 2 movies in a amazon exclusive burton blu ray collection.

I had never heard of it till I saw a thread on AVS about Batman being OOP.

Also you can get either the individual movies or the anthology on the cheap from Amazon.uk

I would imagine if it's really going out of print there are already plans to re-release it.

The film's 25th anniversary's in 2014, so I'd be surprised if WB didn't pull another release (though I doubt I'll be buying it).

all the previous era Batman films went OOP recently.
No idea what warner is planning, but apparently they wanted them all OOP before TDKR came out.

I've seen a bunch of them at F.Y.E. locations in MD and D.C.

that's what i did, and although i was less than stoked about "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory" and "Corpse Bride," i'm more than happy w/ the box set.

That's the DVD version of the anthology.

I went to get the blu-ray links but it looks like only Batman is available through Amazon.co.uk themselves. Batman Returns and the Anthology are only available through third parties so I guess they're OOP in the UK as well and retailers are dwindling their stock down.

Obviously Warner is planning on re-releasing them next year. However, I don't think I would buy re-releases of these movies. The Anthology set I currently have is perfect.

I'd bet good money that not only does Warner repackage & rerelease these films when or just before TDKR hits shelves, but they turn around and do it again in 2014 for the 25th Anniversary.

I've noticed this too, but with the Dark Knight Rises being released in December I fully expect all the OOP Batman titles to be re-released either by Thanksgiving or on the day DKR is released. WB has a pretty good track record of doing this, putting titles OOP for a few months or so in order to make people that may not have wanted them want them, then once they think the demand has risen enough they release it again. I too am wanting to get these, as I wasn't really into buying movies until recently. If you don't want to wait and are OK with getting the Schumacher's films the anthology is currently on WBShop for 50 dollars(although I think it was 40 a few weeks back).

Is this set new or used at WBshop?

[MifuneFan]

New as far as I know, I don't think WBShop sells used titles though.

Yeah I've got ZERO interest in the Schumacher Batmans...absolutely ZERO so the anthology for $50 isnt worth it. I even checked on ebay and they are WAY overpriced, the ones that are even there. This is nuts. Like Monarch of Media said, maybe they will release them in December with TDKR. Hope so anyway.

Amazon.uk have Batman for under ten pounds. International shipping to the US is expensive but a lot cheaper than the alternatives. It looks OOP in the UK at the moment as only Marketplace sellers have it for sale.

It will eventually be re-released, no need to panic. I am sure most of you have seen it anyway.
