Product Information

They built actual sets and used props (instead of using blue screen/CGI effects which, sadly, is the norm today). Batman Forver The Directors role is handed over to Joel Schumacher though Burton remains onboard to produce. Together they plot to discover Batman's (Val Kilmer) identity, using a device which can probe the human mind.

I especially appreciated the fact that it doesn't have any preview trailers that you have to skip through; the movies begin without having to select play.

Batman: The Motion Picture Anthology, also known as the Batman Anthology, is the name of the tetralogy of Batman films set in the Burtonverse that were produced by Warner Bros. THE PICTURE QUALITY OF THESE MOVIES IS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN PLAYED AT THEIR NTSC RESOLUTION OF 480P .

This collection sees the 'Caped Crusader' facing off against Jack Nicholson's deranged Joker in the original BATMAN film. The Burtonesque Gotham along with the darkness in the Batmans character seem nothing but a distant memory in this film. The franchise won the title of Batman Anthology in 2005, with the launch of Box Batman: The Motion Picture Anthology who included 2-disc special edition DVDs of the Burton/Schumacher Batman films. It is true that Batman and Robin is probably the weakest movie in the set however, I think it is still entertaining and I appreciate the old-school special effects. Finally, in 'Batman and Robin' (1997), Batman (George Clooney) and Robin (O'Donnell) have to stop the vengeful Mr Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) from taking over Gotham City by using his new ice weapon.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. The films started with their first release in 1989 with Tim Burton's Batman, starring Michael Keaton as the title character. Harvey two face seems a little wrong in the costume and at times feels a little more like the Joker mark II though the Careys performance as the Riddler works with his OTT sytle of acting which outside of the role and maybe the mask usually grates for me.

You should always worry when in the credit list at the start of a film the 1st named actor isn't the lead!To make matters worse, the venomous Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman) decides to join forces with Freeze, so making an almost undefeatable double-whammy of a team. I won't claim that all 4 films are classics seems to me that the level of Tim Burton involvment over the 4 movies is uncannily mirrored in the quality of the movies. Throughout the series, Batman is aided and abetted by his trusty old butler Albert, enthusiastic sidekick Robin, and Alfred's spirited niece (who assumes the identity of Batgirl), as well as his allies down at the police department. Batman Forever has two classic super-vilains The Riddler (Jim Carrey) and two-face Harvery (Tommy Lee Jones) plus Uma Thurman as earth-woman.
