Glad someone did this I feel like the only Bleach Bypass/ENR/Silver Retention supporter alive at times.
The DVD was not correct tho

The original film was supposed to have been so dark that people complained. Judging by just how dark Returns was printed, I can completely see that happening. On the untouched still form above you can see all the video nasties from LD era magnified and just how much everything was overbrightened to compensate. This was a common practice then and even is still upheld today. I always have my CRT dialed back a bit to mimic film a bit more, and I do this especially when watching the first film because it feels more appropriate.
I found the bit about the video telecine being brightened in the old Widescreen Review articles on the LDs for both films.
There's a 35mm print of Batman '89 on eBay right now, starting at $500: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BATMAN-ORIGINAL-35MM-FEATURE-FILM-/221355280283?
Anybody wanna chip in so we can find out just how dark the original was?
Why am I always broke in January :(

Was BTILC changed a lot? I just got the new Arrow release
It has a less warm look compared to the DVD, and it's dimmer. I don't really know what the colors should look like. However, it looks leagues better then the dvd in terms of detail. My complaint is it only has remixed audio.
The Arrow disc has a 2.0 LPCM track
It would have been usenet at least 2 years ago, but it was a week of google-fu to find it

Pretty sure mine is russian
The DCP was locked, the caps I have come from the trailer.
How did they break the DCP encryption?
Big shame it is compressed too, would love the 200+ gb file if someone has it.
Can anyone DM me a usenet or torrent link as I hate doing the whole chunk thing from TP
Anyone have any HD-Torrents or Beyond HD invites?
I have two HD versions, so there is more than one
That file scan is of the retail bluray
A quick look 720p is the best I can find will look harder late on

Old MGM vs new 4K
Yeah def open matte, looks in great condition
Looks like a bootleg to me, but would save ripping it

Oh I know, but the master is the issue here.
It was always a hot mess

@TServo2049: Yep, everything so far is pointing at the home video color timing being the same as theatrical.
But just wait until they make a blu-ray re-release like with T1, and people all over the web will say that it was originally teal and orange. :)
The version we've created here will be more than enough for many years to come though.
I am very much looking forward to your version, but more I want a new 4k scan corrected to the original timing used here
All Warner catalogue discs were changed if they had new masters, Criterion also just look at Thief
