Tim Burton's Batman is this reviewer's second-favorite Superhero film, right behind 1978's Superman. The film is a masterwork of set design, shadow and light, Legends of the Dark Knight: The History of Batman – A 40 minute documentary that looks at the differing incarnations of Batman and how he has developed. movie while maintaining the darker noir-inspired tones, even in relatively well-lit locales such as these. One of the key color highlights comes in the shadows and one of the film's first color assaults. The character's colorful apparel finds a manicured brilliance to purples, oranges, and teals, all of ways inward -- characteristics of the latter. Keaton and Nicholson play very well against one another and the film is full of terrific support performancesThe Batman was captured digitally in a variety of formats (at 4.5 and 6K) by cinematographer Greig Fraser ( Dune, Rogue One, Zero Dark Thirty) using Arri Alexa LF, Mini LF, and Sony CineAlta Venice cameras with a host of Arri, Cook, and Canon anamorphic lenses. The film was finished as a native 4K Digital Intermediate at the 2.39:1 aspect ratio. For its release on Ultra HD, that source has been graded for high dynamic range (both Dolby Vision and HDR10 options are included). The result is a highly cinematic yet moody image, definitely one that lives and breathes in the darkness. So it’s truly surprising how much detail is visible in the 4K presentation—a genuine credit to Frasier’s photography. The HDR adds pleasing subtleties to the color palette, and strongly benefits both shadows and brightly-bold highlights alike, resulting in a remarkably deep and dimensional looking image. And those with Dolby Vision capable displays will be glad to have them. Simply put, this is a gorgeous and beautifully-textured presentation, delivered in reference-quality 4K. Gunshots during the Axis Chemical shoot-out offer superior depth and quality feel for impact through the whole stage.

Score throughout follows The term “leaps and bounds” apply to this 4K release as the 1.85:1 HEVC 4K is exactly that in terms of the overall look of the film captured on a superior video source such as this one. Like a lot of other 4K offerings, this one really shows the true depth, detail and dimension that Burton was trying to achieve. It’s a dark movie. Most Batman films are. Contrast is strong, though what really grabbed me were the interior shots. Some of the daytime scenes in Gotham City seem to have a much more natural and warmth to them that’s simply not present in earlier releases. The film is three decades old, but honestly it’s hard to tell as this is certainly one of Warner’s finest offerings. Audio: How’s it sound?the bundled Blu-ray (which has also been remastered, though not issued independently of this release), are worlds better, offering the best of both a touch soft by its nature but its attention detail and all of the complexity the medium and the format allow are on full display. With the HDR Stylistically, The Batman has its roots in the New Hollywood films of the 1960s and 70s, Taxi Driver among them, and it gives Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy a run for its money in terms of darkness and grit. (Though in fairness, Nolan’s films were about grounding Batman in the real world, while Reeves works more to capture the darkness of society’s underbelly.) The Batman borrows obvious story elements from The Long Halloween and Dark Victory graphic novels, the former of which was already referenced in Nolan’s The Dark Knight (particularly with regard to the character of Harvey Dent), though Reeves supplants the killer in that story for the Riddler while drawing heavily upon Selina Kyle’s narrative. The director’s faith in Robert Pattinson’s ability to wear the cape and cowl was likely justified by his work in The Rover, Cosmopolis, and The Lighthouse, and the actor was certainly the right choice, though his take on Bruce Wayne would have benefited from more screen time to develop the character’s relationship with Alfred (Andy Serkis).

This is a terrific presentation in all facets and the perfect compliment to the reference
