### ABOUT THE 4 FILM FAVORITES SERIES ###
Warner Brothers/New Line's "4 Film Favorites" is a line of two-disc sets consisting of four films that are part of a series/franchise or center around a common theme. Each disc is dual-sided, with the contents of each side being a bit-for-bit copy (a "disc image") of a previous DVD release. Usually the very first DVD release of a film is used as the master for each side, which could be either single-layer or dual-layer. If the DVD master that is used first came out at the infancy of DVD production (the late 1990s), there may be little to no extras, and even a poor film transfer when compared to a later re-release. Also, if that original release was a two-disc set, or a dual-sided disc (see: Lethal Weapon 4), only Disc 1 or Side A will be used. The "4 Film Favorites" line is priced with the budget-conscience consumer in mind, with Target having the lowest price at 9.99 each (occasionally on sale for 8.99). Other stores will inevitably be priced higher, though I don't recommend paying more than ten dollars for each two-disc set.

I have all of these on VHS and I've been looking forward to replacing them with DVDS. Excellent collection at a great price.

Even though half of these movies are not good, this is still a real find. The two good movies of the mid-era on one disc is both convenient and worth the price by themselves. Really, though, if you can find them both on separate DVDs for about the same money, about the only thing you'll be out is additional shipping and handling. I consider this being less worth the cost for having the later two movies included.
I can't do it! I can't not say anything about Batman and Robin! Its so bad! Its really bad! Its Mystery Science Theater 3000 bad! Its the saddest movie ever made. Not in the sentimental way, not in the tragic way. It just makes me very sad. Batman Forever, while far less bad, is no picnic either. Jim Carrey can be The Riddler, but why is The Riddler Jim Carrey? If you're looking for Riddler, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and even Bane and Batgirl, you'd be better off trying to find the animated series. Michael Gough's Alfred is the best performance and has the best writing on disc two by a disappointingly wide margin.
That said, Batman and Batman Returns are awesome! Some of Tim Burton's finest reality-based work, well cast. Brilliantly scored. These movies have some of the most perfect Batman music, including the two Nolan movies. And no matter where you stand on Nicholson vs Ledger for best Joker (I like Hamill myself), you've got to admit that on his own merits, Jack makes for an outstanding Clown Prince of Crime. Hes threatening and at the same time really funny in that special Joker way, the way he should be.
Oh, and Keaton was good as Bats.
Should you buy it? Well...about ten bucks for a whole set of movies is pretty much always a good deal, and when that set includes two classics, so much the better. I would say reserve disc two for one of those times you're looking for a movie to mock and tell yourself you only paid for disc one. Nobody should ever pay money for Batman and Robin unless it includes a night with Catwoman afterward.
A great deal. Four movies for one low price. Good picture and sound quality June 12, 2010

This collection of the four Batman movies from 1989, 1992, 1995, and 1997 is a winner all around. It comes with two dual-sided DVDs, with each DVD having a movie on each side. The picture clarity is good, the sound quality is good, the price is good.
Here are the movies:
1. Batman (1989) starring Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, Kim Basinger, Robert Wuhl, Pat Hingle, Jack Palance, Billy Dee Williams, and Michael Gough.
2. Batman Returns (1992) starring Danny DeVito, Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Michael Gough, Michael Murphy, and Pat Hingle.
3. Batman Forever (1995) starring Jim Carrey, Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris O'Donnell, Nicole Kidman, Michael Gough, and Pat Hingle.
4. Batman & Robin (1997) starring George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman, Alicia Silverstone, Chris O'Donnell, Pat Hingle, Michael Gough, and Elle MacPherson.
Now this is just my opinion: The two best movies were Batman (with Jack Nicholson as The Joker) and Batman Returns (with Danny DeVito as The Penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman), when Tim Burton was in charge. These two movies are darker and a little more serious than Batman Forever (with Jim Carrey as The Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones as Two Face) and Batman & Robin (with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze and Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy), which are brighter and more campy. I won't review each and every movie. This review is basically about what this four movie collection contains and its low price and good picture and sound quality.
If you're a fan of the first Batman series, then get these four movies for a bargain price. It's worth it.
