Batman Returns on BD

[DenOfEarth]

WB did a good job on the PQ.

This was the last good live-action Batman film before Schumacher destroyed the series and Nolan rebooted it

Still my favourite Batman film too, nice to see some love for it here.
Never could get into the Nolan's personally. Great shame we never got another Burton/Keaton film.

On the Batman Returns disc? Hmm... Are we looking at the same disc? Or are you watching on a small screen? It's very clearly not from a 1080p master, details look fuzzy and pixely, much like the original Fugitive disc. It's a step up from the DVD, but badly needs to be remastered in full 1080p, ideally from original elements.

These are my previous comments, which got buried on the previous page:

Fine edges, diagonal lines, and anything bright (like the "Hell here" sign and the "Schreck's" department store sign, all have very obvious, blocky, pixely elements.

They clearly just recycled a dated HD transfer that was created for the last go-round of DVDs. This film badly needs to be remastered.

If anyone can't see the pixels, look at the two neon signs I described, they're the most obvious instances, but the problem is present in almost every shot.
