Fans of Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman movie can get the commemorative Steelbook Edition for its best price yet. Released last year to celebrate the beloved film’s 35th anniversary, Batman ’89’s 4K Steelbook Edition is discounted to only $18. This edition was originally priced at $41, but these days it often sells for $30. We wouldn’t be surprised to see Amazon’s deal sell out quickly.
Batman (1989) 35th Anniversary Steelbook Edition (4K Blu-ray)
$18 (was $41)
The Steelbook Edition of Batman 1989 is a two-disc set with 4K Blu-ray, 1080p Blu-ray, and digital versions of the beloved film. The case features the Gotham City skyline with the Bat-Signal shining overhead.
The special features were inherited from previous releases, but if you don’t own Batman 1989 in physical format, you’re in for a treat. The included bonus offers a fascinating glimpse into how the movie was made. From Warner Bros. taking a chance on Burton to the wild reactions of Keaton’s casting, these featurettes are a time capsule of Bat-mania. Or if you want to chill, you can also check out the Prince music videos.
Though the 1989 film previously released on 4K Blu-ray back in 2019, Amazon’s deal on the 35th Anniversary Steelbook Edition is better than the price for the standard edition at the moment ($21.89).
More than three decades later, Burton’s Batman is still a terrific movie anchored by Keaton’s brooding performance as the Gotham vigilante and Jack Nicholson stealing every scene he’s in as the impeccably tailored Joker. The film still looks great thanks to the high-budget set design, imaginative costumes, and a killer Batmobile, creating a timeless take on the DC Comics hero and his world.
