Didn't see a topic for this yet so thought I'd make one. According to Amazon UK, Batman 1989 and Batman Returns will be released on blu ray on December 29th, probably to coincide with the DVD/Blu Ray release of the Dark Knight. UK is famous for announcing release dates before USA, so we can pretty much determine that it will be released around the same time in the US. Lata!

No blu-ray, and not a HD screen big enough :(

Cool! I've been waiting for this for a long time. It'll be great to see them both in crystal clear high definition. Can't wait to see the covers they use. I hope they use one of the posters and it's not a photoshop job.

I hope they include the SE features, and a little bit more if possible.
Believe me, if and when they release some SE and Blu Ray comparison shots, you'll be wanting these two versions.

I'm not as up on all this stuff as I probably should be but given the vintage of the Burton films, I wouldn't expect too much of an upgrade.  In fact, there's a sense in which they might look worse since HD exposes a level of clarity that would've been unheard of when Burton made those films... so matte paintings, models and other effects might come off looking a lot worse than they originally did.

Like seeing the light bulb in the hellhounds mouth in the ghostbusters dvd?  ;D

We'll see, but I'm expecting an improvement.
