October Batman Release — Page 2

Isn't it strange how it seems impossible to ever make a movie called Batman and Robin that's actually any good? We all know that the 1997 Batman and Robin is pfffft. And it kept another movie from being made for eight years. But nearly fifty years earlier they tried it, and it was grossly inferior to the previous Batman movie. And another Batman movie wasn't made for another 17 years! And, it's not a movie, but most people agree that Batman: The Animated Series started to not be so good when it became The Adventures of Batman and Robin. I'm not saying anything against the character of Robin, but naming a piece of the Batman franchise Batman and Robin seems to be a nail in the coffin, or maybe the coffin itself.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

On the other hand, when B:TAS became Gotham Knights, it didn't have a bad episode one, despite having Robin in nearly every episode. (Granted, Drake > Dick as Robin any day, but still)

Perhaps the title "Batman and Robin" is jinxed. Like the Chicago Cubs. lol

Bah! Okay, I'm not going to argue because Tim Drake is a good Robin (although he seemed too young in the Batman/Superman Hour thing, and his costume seemed like some red pajamas I used to have), but how can you possibly say he's a better Robin than Dick Grayson? At least Dick Grayson did something with his life! He moved on! He got away from Batman and started his own group (Teen Titans) and became his own man (Nightwing)! So hats off to all the Dick Graysons: Douglas Croft, John Duncan, Burt Ward, Casey Kasem, whoever played him in the new animated series, I forget, and Chris O'Donnell!

I didn't say Tim was a better HERO; I said he was a better Robin. Dick NEEDED to get out of Batman's shadow before he could shine; he rules as Nightwing, but as Robin, something just seems off about him. Or perhaps I'm just used to Tim. He is currently my favorite DC hero anyway.

And Lorin Lester played Dick in B:TAS.

Gaffer Tape, depending on which country you're from there are a few versions. There's the two-disc Deluxe Edition, the single disc Widescreen and Fullscreen Editions and then in a few places you can also a Collectors Edition that contains the two-disc version, the CD soundtrack, a 72 page comic book and four cards.

I'll be getting one of the two-disc versions, I usually don't bother with the packaged versions but the price isn't too different here and it will be released during the initial launch (unlike most other DVD packages) so I might consider it.

[edit]Actually, it looks like the online store I was looking at just confused the issue! I believe the comic book also comes with the Deluxe Edition.[/edit]

Everything is better on a laserdisc. Whatever happened to the laserdisc? Laserdisc!

But there isn't going to be some special extended different from theatrical release version is there? Because I never did see the thing in theatres.

I don't think so; just the one disk and two disk editions. Oddly, I've heard rumors that the two disk price will be only a dollar more than the one disk standard; Obviously, if that's the case I'm getting the two disk set, and probably would anyway.
