30th Anniversary 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray

[The Laughing Fish]

Here's a clip featuring the new transfer and sound mix.

The picture quality is great. Crisp and clear.

But I still don't see the point in those new changes to the sound effects. The whooshing sound effect when the Batmobile moves, for example, seems excessive. The original audio mix might seem outdated for some people, but I don't see why it would make or break the movie. I repeat, movies are a product of their time.

It's changes like these that annoy me the most. They did the same thing with Superman: The Movie to make him sound like a missile EVERY TIME he flew.

I'm now hearing that the original audio mix is NOT an option on either disc. This is truly aggravating if true.

Saw this art shared by the official Batman page on Facebook, and I really liked it. A lot of design elements done right, and a more masterful use of digital editing. I'd totally accept this as an artwork for a home release.

Meanwhile, the steelbook covers don't look bad. It would just be greatly improved by the actual cityscapes.

Everybody calm down. From what I've been reading the original soundtrack will also be included. Unlike Star Wars the original is not being erased from existence.

Are you sure about that?

No matter how good 4K89 may look, it's always going to be the Blu-ray version for me.

I'm not a fan of how the shots of the Joker parade and Gordon with the Batsignal is turning out. They're too bright for my tastes.

It wouldn't surprise me. This is Warner Butchers we're talking about.

Meanwhile, just to change the subject for a moment, I found this picture of Batman making a different pose with the Joker on the Batcomputer's TV panels. Has anybody else seen this before, or is it rare? This is the first time I've ever seen this particular picture.



This was based on these pictures I thought only existed. I do remember another picture of Batman with his arms folded while standing in front of the same background, but I can't find it online anywhere.

I've watched the film on iTunes and can confirm that it's the remastered picture and original audio. I don't know why they're making this option so hard to accomplish for the discs. They pulled a similar stunt when Superman: The Movie's theatrical cut first came to DVD. The original theatrical audio track was a downgrade of the remixed track. They had to send out replacements. Hope something like this is implemented for this release.

Cheers, BatmanFurst.

I remember looking at that picture in a copy of Time Magazine when I was a kid. Except it was in colour.
