About This DVD
For fans and newcomers, this boxed set holds a great collection, including all
four great movies. The first in the series, Batman (1989), and arguably the best
of the four movies, exudes the moodiness of the Dark Knight's character. Tim
Burton's direction and Michael Keaton's rendition of Batman are an electrifying
combo. Together they capture the sinister atmosphere of Gotham City and Batman's
darkness. Jack Nicholson as the fiendish Joker and Kim Basinger as the
resourceful and gorgeous Vicki Vale lend their charm. Three years later, in
1992, Burton and Keaton reunited for Batman Returns. This time our pointy-eared
hero has to combat two villains: Danny DeVito as the disturbed and freaky
Penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. In Batman Forever (1995), Joel
Schumacher gave his direction to the story with Val Kilmer under the cape.
Kilmer keeps the moodiness but adds a little panache to his rendition. His
archenemies this time are the Riddler (Jim Carrey) and Two-Face (Tommy Lee
Jones). Luckily, he enlists the help of the Boy Wonder, Robin (Chris O'Donnell).
The final movie in the series, Batman & Robin, is great eye candy, and this time
Schumacher returns with George Clooney as the leading man and Chris O'Donnell
again as Robin. Together Batman and Robin battle the icy Mr. Freeze (Arnold
Schwarzenegger), with a little help from Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone). Delve
into the Gotham City world with the Dark Knight to protect you, and don't forget
to make lots of popcorn for this Batman marathon. --Samantha Allen Storey
