You don't get any new retrospective insight from cast members, but you do get mini- Mondo posters of the franchise villains and a letter from Chris Nolan. You don't get commentaries, but you do get a photo-heavy 48 photo album, where the vast majority of images are just stills from the three films. You don't get deleted scenes, but you do get three Hot Wheels toys of the Tumbler, the Bat-Pod, and the Bat. And that's it, although I suppose we should be grateful that Warner didn't tack on that underwhelming Secret Origins: The Story of DC Comicsdocumentary from 2010 that they were briefly including on various DC Animated releases. The rest of the $80 price tag goes into packaging and would-be "swag".

Otherwise it's entertaining, and all-too brief, and arguably focuses more on Superman: The Movie versus the Nolan Bat-films. The rest of the would-be bonus material is the IMAX footage from The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, which is odd considering the blu-ray releases for both sequels came in their shifting aspect-ratio format. The other major feature is a 25-minute conversation between Chris Nolan and Richard Donner, which is fun but I must offer token protest on that since it mostly ignores the fact that Richard Donner created a Superman film from scratch while Nolan had the hindsight benefit of "dos" and "don't"s from the Burton/Schumacher films. The screen test of Cillian Murphy as Bruce Wayne is a treat, and I enjoyed a moment with Heath Ledger messing around with Vermont senator and infamous Batman fanatic Patrick Leahy, but the piece has a whiff of basically ignoring what came before, as if Nolan was the first filmmaker to ever take a comic book film remotely seriously. executives, film writers (think Richard Roeper), and genre-related filmmakers (Guillermo del Toro, Paul Dini, Zack Snyder, etc.). It's a solid talking-heads presentation with Nolan, Goyer, and mostly other Warner Bros.

The core retrospective documentary of this new set, The Fire Rises runs just 76 minutes, or about the length of the major documentary on the Batman disc from 2005 and 15 minutes shorter than 90 minute "road to Avengers" documentary that came free with The Avengers if you bought it at Warner even spent the money to animated the deleted Robin sequence from Batman with the Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill doing the respective vocals. And yes, everything you've heard about the "fall on the sword" nature of the Batman & Robin material is true. produced 3.5 hours of high quality video-based special features (two full-length documentaries, music videos, animated story boards, etc.) just for the first Batman, while also gracing the sequels with about an hour or so of new material per along with new commentaries. Now, to be fair, those films were previously released on bare-bones DVDs as opposed to the relatively stuffed stand-alone releases for the Nolan films. What do you get if you already own these films on blu-ray? You get a cumbersome box, would-be swag, and just 105 minutes of new bonus content, comprised of one documentary and one featurette.Įven comparing this set with the special edition reissues of the 1989-1997 Batman films from 2005 shows a striking difference.
