I just received Batman Begins from CD-Wow. Its strange as the cover is different to the one I see in shops around here. Its got a big black border around the whole front and has R2 & R5 symbols on the back.

I guess its not a UK edition?

Just recieved Musa Region 4 version from EzyDVD. Can't wait, used to have the korean version before i sold it.

Iron Monkey it could be what Romero dreads, a Russian DVD

How does it look to you though?
The cover on the site looks the same as you described it, and as you say its dual encoded 2/5 so its not like theyre ripping you off is it?

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 26 Oct 2005, 19:35

No they're not, and its exactly the same as the UK R2 version, just minus the stupid BBFC logos all over the place so I'm not bothered.

The picture and sound quality is fantastic, and its a great film too!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 26 Oct 2005, 20:12

Cool

Yeah, I would of thought the quality would be the same but Romero often makes me paranoid about DVDs from different regions now

I just bought Pro Evo 5 for 44 euro at a local store, as well as Iceman Cometh (Yuen Biao) for only 9 euro...

Never seen Iceman Cometh beforeth, so kinda curious...

Pro Evo takes alot of taking used to, especially if you've played Pro Evo 4 till death, as I did... not sure if I like it yet, but I've already read EVERYWHERE that everyone has that feeling when they just start out with 5, and it just takes some time getting used to...

hmmm... not sure... hope so though...

Very dissapointed many of the faces still look like utter shite btw.

Frank Miller Comics:
Batman: Return of the Dark Knight
Sin City - 1st Book

After having read Miller's 'Batman: Year One' I believe that he wrote the best Batman-stories. I was curious how his other 'Batman' comics are and hence got the one he made after 'Year One'.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 28 Oct 2005, 00:01

Return of the Dark Knight, as well as year one, are both ace! (although while the artwork is 'good' (it has a unique style), it could have been much better...)

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 28 Oct 2005, 00:23

I like the artwork of 'Year One' very much. Awesome drawing style in my opinion.

What I liked even more about 'Year One' is that we see more from the POV of Gordon. Miller is an awesome storyteller. Short, but sharp and direct sentences.

Today:

Hey Yi-Long,

I have read the first 60 pages of 'Return of the Dark Knight' and the artwork isn't as good as it was in 'Year One'. The story is great so far.

I absolutely love the artwork of 'Year One' and understand why you kinda disliked the drawing style of 'ROTDK'.
