What a fabulous collection of Batman movies waiting for you! Micheal Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney did a superb job as the Dark Knight fighting off the fabulous villains that we know and love (or hate)! I enjoyed watching these DVDs. They are exciting in every sense of the word! I know you will too!!

I bought this anthology to replace my old VHS collection. Of course, the quality of both video and audio are better, but the big plus is the 2nd disc for each movie giving hours of background stories and featurettes.

The recently released "Batman Begins" is better than all of these movies combined. Here is how I rate the films in this set:
Batman:
Jack Nicholson is great as the Joker, but that is about it. The ending is bad. Apparently Joker is both bullet proof and missle proof; and his little gun can shoot down Batman's plane. That was really stupid. How the Joker died was dumb too. A plastic statue that weighed maybe 5lbs was stronger than him and a helicopter. Robert Wuhl sucked in the film. Who is that loss? hahaha
B-
Batman Returns:
Danny Devito ruined this movie. He was absolutely atrocious as the Penguin. He died in the end because he couldn't get a glass of ice water hahaha. Christopher Walken was terrible in it as well. The Walken character and his stupid son were useless in the movie. They wasted the Penguin as a villian as this story was absolutely ridiculous. Not much positive things to say except that Michelle Pfiefer was in it.
D-
Batman Forever:
The best of the series. Val Kilmer was good. Nicole Kidman and Jim Carrey were excellent in their parts. My favortie scene is when ED Baglel Jr. gets killed by Riddler. Good stuff. Unfortunately some of it was annoying. Like any scene Tommy Lee Jones was in.
B+
Batman and Robin:
Pretty bad. They should have stopped before making this. George Clooney was pathetic. Not as bad as Batman Returns, but close. I wish Mr. Freeze would have frozen everyone before they could have started the cameras rolling hahaha. This might have been responsible for ending Chris Odonnel's acting career. Where has he been? hahaha. I haven't seen him act since. Uma Thurman was one of the few bright spots.

I had seen 'Batman' awhile back. I then purchased and watched 'Batman Begins'. So much for what came before. I will now give the 'Anthology' to whomever wants it. Batman Begins is true to the DC comics and, what I would decribe as, more serious. It is in a way and epic story. Since this is a review of the 'Anthology', it's OK for what it is. But what it's not is 'the real deal'.

Alright. I'll try to be brief.
Batman was good. Joker was weird. but it was interesting to see the 80's take on Batman. The new rubber suit looked very, very stiff. I know they all are, but this was the stiffest. I liked the beginning, but the bat sign on his chest has too many sharp angles that looks ugly. Other than that the story was good, very dark too. Keaton doesn't play the rich boy, playboy persona too well but you get used to it. Surprising that it was joker who killed his parents. Very surprising. 3 out of 5 stars.
Batman Returns was really good. Loved the suit.It fit more on Keaton and wasn't bloated like the first. Absolutely great Catwoman. Michelle Phieffer nailed that part.Penguin was really weird but Danny nailed it too. My one gripe is that they should really stage some good fight scenes. It seems like Batman is just a walking display. Good movie. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
Batman Forever...well it was a strange movie. New Bruce...New Batman...Different style. Extremely bright crazy lights and alot of an overreacting Two Face. Riddler was great and funny. Good job Jim. I liked this when it first came out mostly because the action improved alot. Great fights. Hideous Batmobile. Great Robin story. I give it a 3 out of 5, only because it was a lot less realistic than Returns.
Batman and Robin was a complete joke. I actually saw this in the theaters. What a bad movie. Period. I heard the same guys who made the Power Rangers kid show made this. No wonder. Way to goofy and stupid. Even the action couldn't save it. Bad Ivy, Bane is a walking, bulking dunce who only says "AAUUURGHH!" What is with Mr. Freeze. Arnold? Of all the people. Arnold? He was so cheesy in this. Batgirl doesn't help either.This is where everyone thought (including myself) that Batman sunk and would never be ressurected...until he "Begins" again in '05. This gets a 1 out of 5.
