The gamma levels were probably raised on LD too. It was common practice to boost gamma in video transfers in the 80s/90s so that they would "read" on CRT displays - Batman may have received particular complaint for the theatrical prints looking too dark, but the home release would have been boosted regardless so that the image would resolve on TV sets.
