Batman Anthology

[drb124]

I have looked for this and I am just wondering if the Batman Anthology will include Batman Begins?

No

Batman begins has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the original Batman series or movies. It is a brand new fresh take on the characters and world of Batman.
So there is no relation and it will not be included.
I have had the hardest time convincing people that Batman Begins is not related to the other batman movies... which all suck, by the way, compared to Begins and Dark Knight

I thought the first 2 Batman films were great. I don't compare them to Batman Begins, and I'd have a hard time comparing them to Dark Knight. Have you seen it? :P

That said, hopefully Schumaker and Ratner have been permabanned from Super Hero moviedom.

Especially Schumacher! What he did to the Batman series is damn near unbelievable. While I like Nolan's version the best, I thought Burton did a solid job with the characters and the stories and made them interesting to watch (especially Michelle Pfeiffer in that catwoman outfit). Schumacher on the other hand, took a solid series and almost killed it hence we needed to start from the beginning again with another origin story.

My understanding was that these would come out on Blu-ray around the same time as The Dark Knight comes out on Blu-ray - not at the time of Batman Begins on Blu-ray. So I would expect these closer to Xmas.

The 1989 Batman is a classic. It is different from Batman Begins, but it certainly doesn't "suck". J.N. was brilliant as the Joker.

I read somewhere that Batman Begins will be released on Blu-Ray sometime in early July. (Perhaps just before The Dark Knight hits theaters).

I can't believe someone could say that Burton's Batman films "sucked." I thought that Batman Begins was good, and The Dark Knight looks promising, but I don't think either can hold a candle to Batman. Keaton was as good of a Bruce Wayne as you are going to get and although Ledger's take on the Joker looks good, Nicholson was perfect.

The first one is a classic, and I love Tim Burton, and JN was great in it. But the character of Batman was not right imo. Why did they kill Joker in the first movie? It didn't make any sense.
But it was a good movie. It was really the only good one of the bunch IMO... all the sequels are awful (even the 2nd one).

Still the point is clear, the other movies are not related at all and so Begins will not be in any anthology of the original Batman movies.

I liked Batman, i did not really like Batman Returns I liked Batman Forever, and as for Batman and Robin what can I say except it was campier and worse than Batman: The Movie with Adam West and Bert Ward, enough said.

Any word on the original 4 Batman movies from the 80's-90's being released on Blu-ray? It appears as if they would be due since the special editions and Anthology box set on original dvd are now hard to find. Granted yes I know the only good ones are the first two but the whole set would be nice and I don't wanna buy the Anthology box set on original dvd for over 100. Thoughts???

They're supposed to be coming this fall. There's no more news than that.
