Apparently, Batman Boxset WILL be released on region 2 I have been informed by a reliable source that the Batman S.E. boxset that will be released this October on region 1, will also be released on region 2 as well (not necessarily with the same name and artwork, however). I was told that Warner may not have made an announcement regarding it, but that many DVD buying companies (who then sell them onto companies such as HMV, play.com), have received them.

What? When? How did you find out?

I think you are mistaken, you must be referring to the region 1 boxset, not the supposed region 2 one.

Batman Legacy is the older release of the films, not the upcoming ones.

On another Batman note, Amazon.com has both the normal and deluxe editions of Batman Begins for pre-order at the same price of $15.98 right now, quite a deal...though not an endorsement of any kind for Amazon.com .

Get your facts right before you post some incorrect information. I was asking about the S.E. DVDs, not the original ones. I think that was obvious.

Alright, back to the topic, does anyone have info yet? I have no doubt the boxset will be released on region 2, I just haven't read anything about it yet.

Of course its 'worth getting worked up about', not only will it be cheaper, but it will allow fans to own all movies in on set.

Also, Chris, do I assume from your reply that Warner are indeed simply waiting to announce it?

Can I ask who the sexy girl is in the pic?

I gave into the constant barrage and phoned Warner's PR company today. According to the young lady I spoke to, Warner will be releasing a Batman boxed set, but this will not contain the Special Editions of the films. These are only available individually.

There you go, straight from the horse's mouth (well, the mouth's PR company). If that's wrong, blame them.

OK, well if that is the sad truth, can you also tell me this.

In what form is the region 1 boxset? What I mean by that is, does it contain the movies in the plastic cases as they will be available individually? Or are all the discs just housed loose within it? Like say the Alien set.

That's not actually a bad idea!

Anyone have the appropriate contact info in order to ask?

I'm not sure it's been confirmed yet my friend, personally I can't see it happening.  Your best bet's to hand fire until release day and see what happens.  perhaps some stores will have "exclusive" box set packages

Well if I were to look at it more carefully, it doesn't say "boxset" but rather a bundle + a free gift of an old Batman movie.

Here's the link anyway:


It's from an Australian online DVD store.

Dan, that's quite a good observation.

Shops like HMV often offer exclusive packaging in order to entice people to buy from them. Do you think it might happen?

That's total bulls**t, I can't believe it wasn't let through. F**k you BBFC!

Jesus christ, this is unbelievable.

OK, so at least Batman, the best of the bunch, is uncut, but what about Forever and B&R? I know that Forever originally had a load of stuff cut to qualify for a PG rating. I hope to god they let us have the full version this time, but, then again, if Warner is too lazy to resubmit it...
