On the subject of Batman, how well is the audio preserved on DVD/BD for Batman Returns? Given that it was first to use Dolby Digital. 

 I was thinking of doing Batman Returns LD's PCM Dolby Surround (Batman already done and all) and Jurassic Park LD's PCM Dolby Surround. Kind of a last gasp of Dolby Stereo set since both were the first movies to have digital theatrical soundtracks (BR was Dolby Digital/AC-3/SR-Dand JP was DTS) but both were still heard by the majority of people in Dolby Stereo.

That reminds me of when I first saw Jurassic Park. It was in DTS and boy even as a kid I could tell the difference. When that disc and the digital experience sign exploded, people in the theater got up and cheered.

I also am working on the VHS soundtracks of Frankenstein and Dracula now that I have a copy of the 1999 DVDs to do also. That way you will be able to compare the changes from VHS to the first (1999) DVDS to the BD.
