For fans and newcomers, this boxed set holds a great collection, including all four great movies. The first in the series, Batman (1989), and arguably the best of the four movies, exudes the moodiness of the Dark Knight's character. Tim Burton's direction and Michael Keaton's rendition of Batman are an electrifying combo. Together they capture the sinister atmosphere of Gotham City and Batman's darkness. Jack Nicholson as the fiendish Joker and Kim Basinger as the resourceful and gorgeous Vicki Vale lend their charm. Three years later, in 1992, Burton and Keaton reunited for Batman Returns. This time our pointy-eared hero has to combat two villains: Danny DeVito as the disturbed and freaky Penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. In Batman Forever (1995), Joel Schumacher gave his direction to the story with Val Kilmer under the cape. Kilmer keeps the moodiness but adds a little panache to his rendition. His archenemies this time are the Riddler (Jim Carrey) and Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones). Luckily, he enlists the help of the Boy Wonder, Robin (Chris O'Donnell). The final movie in the series, Batman & Robin, is great eye candy, and this time Schumacher returns with George Clooney as the leading man and Chris O'Donnell again as Robin. Together Batman and Robin battle the icy Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), with a little help from Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone). Delve into the Gotham City world with the Dark Knight to protect you, and don't forget to make lots of popcorn for this Batman marathon. --Samantha Allen Storey

Batman and Batman Returns are two of the best Dark Knight films ever, right up there with the new Dark Knight movie.

For anyone who is a fan of the old Batman series this a good collection. It contains bonus materials of all four movies that you cannot get when you purchase each movie individually.

I do not understand why Warner would combine two of the best Batman films (Batman, Batman Returns) with two of the worst (Batman Forever and Batman & Robin). They are completely different. What they should have done was package together a Tim Burton Double Feature Deluxe Edition and left the other two in the vaults locked away where no one can get to them. Joel Schumacher ruined the Batman franchise, but it was also started by the idiotic Warner executives at the time as well as all the angry mothers ... Read More

Please do not waste your time buying the Batman Anthology, especially not on Blu-Ray. I'm sure it will only be more horrible in high definition.
The first movie, with Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as The Joker, will always have a place in my heart as the first real Batman movie. It was a pretty good one, as well, even though it appears to be a low-budget film.
The other three movies aren't worth watching, whether you've seen them or not. You will be better off ... Read More

I would buy this if I could get it without Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. I just can't support giving Joel Schumaker any money for those endeavors.
