I no longer have the original dvd to compare but the sound design was lacking. I know I'm sounding negative but man this film has NOT held up well after seeing the Batman world that Nolan has made. Funny how time and another adaption can change our views. |
I agree 100%, Tim. In all honesty, I never really loved BATMAN '89. I remember feeling disappointed when I saw it on opening night in June of '89. The movie lacks any real suspense or plot. At the time, I was at least happy that audiences got a chance to see a more serious take on the Batman, but I knew the film was far from definitive. Of the original four, I actually much prefer BATMAN RETURNS, which is a far more interesting piece of filmmaking(even though it takes enormous liberties with the Batman legend).
BATMAN BEGINS was the movie I wanted to see in 1989. And TDK even more so.
Also agree on the BD transfer. The picture is very flat, the sound mix is only adequate.
