Quite happy with my HD Bluray. Just watched it, and it looks amazing still. Not liking the blueish overtones of the 4K, and read about other annoyances with this and Batman '89, so am sticking to my 1080s.

Batman Returns is the best batman movie ever made i love it. Dark & creepy and winter so unique

You can't replicate the HDR here

1080p = closer colours to the actual film, giving it a more of a Comic book style visual. 4K = closer colours to real life. Each version depends on the viewers personal preference.

I really have to say that the blue filters look weird on some scenes and some of the detail is lost in dark scenes, but the definition is higher and some detail looks better, so i would say 50/50.

Thanks. You just saved me $25. I think the lighting in the blu ray version looks waaaaay better and more natural.

the 4k technically looks better. But I prefer most of the 2013 edition screenshots more.

People who are saying the film looks too blue. That is the original color tone of the film, and the reason Gene Siskel said the film looked like it was "shot out of an inkwell" when it came out. Warner actually recolorized the film for VHS because the blue looked bad on the format and subsequent formats, VHS and Blu-Ray have used the re-colorized home ent version. When I saw Returns twice in LA on a film print over the last few years, the film is very blue looking and the 4K reflects the director and DP's original work and intent for the film.

Why not just upgrade the video quality and keep the original colors? Let each viewer configurate their preferred colors. Not buying it.

standard BR will do

The blu ray looks a lot better than these pictures you’re showing.

Personally i like the blue look of the 4k to me it gives gotham a cold look to it

I've seen Returns twice on film here in LA over the last two years and the original film print was very blue. One famous film critic said the film looks like it was shot out of an inkwell. The color tone of the blu ray was shifted for sure while the 4K is closer to the original film print in terms of color tone.

The Blu-ray looks better 📀than the 4k💿

I bought the 4K version but that color grading does stand out and now just bought the 2013 version for $13 which I like better and remember more since I saw this in theatres in 1992

Why is it so blue? In some shots that looks akwardly distracting

The colour grading is really bad and off putting here. I'll stick to the regular bluray.

Whoever remastered these editions were *really* obsessed with the color blue. 😂

Uh-oh, the evil teal returns with a vengeance. The image is sharper but the use of orange and teal ruins it. Shadows of coloured light are missing now.

I know it's been a big point of contention with these recent 4K re-releases of 80's/90's Batman movies but I actually think the teal color tone works for this movie. Since the movie is set in the Winter, it makes everything look much more colder. It's not as distracting here as it is in Batman '89. My only question is did they mess around with the sound effects in this transfer like they did with '89?

i can see more detail in the 4K but i don't like the color filters much just like Batman 1989.

The 4K disc color is how I remember seeing it in the theater. It's one of the best looking and sounding 4K disc's I own.

Night and day from youtube, my monitor isn't hdr capable. Is not accurate to critic from you tube or a recording sound and image quality. But from this comparison means from close will be even bigger difference. I will asume that the bluish color of 4k hdr is closer to original than the blue ray hd, so it is more accurate. Beeing accurate is different than like it or not.

These beats are so dope! Who is it?

Best Batman movie of alltime!

I love both 89 and 92 as 4k restorations. I wish there was more grain in Returns as 89's was smooth AF.

No 4k is bad for most scenes due this blue or i dont know ? filter 😠 only resolution have benefit.

I really don't like this. 89 was great but this one went a little too far with the blue filters and it hides a lot of the warmer colours, especially in the skyline shots.

Love your videos, Batman in Blu-ray.

I have to wait for my steelbooks until September 17th 🥺

On KZfaq I think it looks worse. Yes there’s a teal n orange effect but not as bad as it looks here and if you turn off HDR.

Wow what an upgrade!

Wow at 4:23 mark thats not a good change from warm lively tones to complete blue tones... Doubt it was meant that way

Something tells me peop5 hate the color blue lol

I do prefer the 4k version

The 4K looks Really odd to me.

Love this is the sound better?

Looks good,, but not as necessary of an upgrade compared to 89

Batman 1 4K was a significant Upgrade, but this one not so sure. It looks different with the new color tone, but somehow details get washed away especially in dark areas. Just look at 5:40 the Wall Details in the Background. I'm not convinced. Sorry

I watched this in 4K and was blown away!!! Picture is amazing and I’ve been watching this movie for 25 years and never has and probably never will look as good as it does In 4k! It’s a must buy and this video doesn’t do it justice!

Bluray = Perfect colors Bluray 4K = +5 Color +5 Contrast +100 Blue Filter Winner = *Bluray*

4k remastered really looks great for this movie. At least on my tv it does. Of course you can play with your tv settings if you don’t want too much blue for those complaining.

That DNR on the 4k does *not* look good.

I do not like this transfer at all. Not only takes away background details from certain shots but it is WAY too blue and over saturated. I actually thought the new 4k of '89 was great because it livened up the dull areas were color needed a boost but this is over kill. 2:02 you can literally see the normal color of the statues (Grey/Silver) turn to a Sky Blue type color.

4k colors hurt my eyesight 😂

They also ruined this movie with the color grading! I will pick up the blu-ray collection, I just wish cameron doesn't mess up T1 like T2!!

Much prefer the blu rays, 4k is too dark

Was interested in watching this but couldn't stand hearing that annoying noise playing over the top.

Meh. Too much blue.

I really don't like the blue filter look.

Wow Do All The Fast & Furious Movies next

all these people complaining about the blue tint have obviously never seen a tim burton movie. Also many people fail to point out that the 4K has more picture in it, the blu ray is slightly cropped, the 4k is the original aspect ratio.

Sorry but I love those bright colors (2000 kid :D)

Blue tint alert

Looks like the same superb transfer Batman had. Looks very nice indeed.

Really want to pick these up... uggg!

I don't understand why everyone is crying about the new color grade its more true to the original theatrical release they only brighten up Batman 1989 & Batman Returns for the VHS & Lazerdisc release since the crt tvs back then wouldn't work well with the original darker look. The dvd release and 2009 Blu-Ray just followed suit with the VHS & Lazerdisc brighter version. I do agree they should of kept the original audio but other then that i love the new Blu-Ray HDR look to Batman 1989 & Batman Returns basically how those movies were intended to look like originally

Warner, it's not a Zack Snyder movie! I am so tired of everything looking teal and orange, now the classics are forced to follow the tired trend too? What's so wrong with natural colors and historical accurate reproductions? Let older movies look like themselves! They crushed colors to achieve the Snyder look, the grading looks AMATEURISH!

Another good upgrade crazy.

The blue tones are over saturated, also the red ones. Sound it's great but i prefer the original ones. The image is awful
