Let's talk about this 4-movie Batman Blu-ray set that takes us back to the pre-Nolan era. As someone who grew up with these films, popping them into my player felt like reuniting with old friends – some delightful, others... well, let's just say time hasn't been kind to all of them.

The real stars here are Batman (1989) and Batman Returns. The 4K upgrade makes Michael Keaton's brooding Batman and Nicholson's iconic Joker pop like never before. That opening sequence in Gotham? Chills every time. The new transfer highlights details I'd never noticed - like the texture of the Batsuit or the grime in Penguin's lair.

Batman Forever is where things get shaky. Watching it now, Jim Carrey's Riddler feels more exhausting than entertaining - like someone turned the '90s dial to MAX. The neon colors do look vibrant in 4K though, I'll give it that.

Then there's Batman & Robin. Oh boy. Even in glorious high-def, those ice puns still make me cringe. But here's the thing - it's so bad it's almost fun? Like watching a trainwreck with amazing picture quality.

The special features are decent but mostly recycled from older releases. The 'Shadows of The Bat' documentary is genuinely interesting though - perfect for when you want to nerd out about Batman history.

Who should buy this? Hardcore Bat-fans who want the first two movies in 4K (they're worth it). Casual viewers might be better off buying Keaton's films individually and pretending the others don't exist.

Final verdict: A mixed bag that perfectly captures the highs and lows of '90s superhero cinema. Just maybe keep the remote handy for when Batman & Robin comes on...
