Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 5.0
If You Can, Skip the "Deluxe Edition"'s 2nd Disc
"Batman Begins" is a five-star film. Don't forget it. But the 2nd disc, packaged only with the "Deluxe Edition," is one of the most underwhelming "bonus" discs ever sold. Yes, Christian Bale's transformation into Batman is amazing, but he merely talks about it--we don't see much of his grueling eating and workout habits. There's some insight into the director and screenwriter's collaboration, but to get there you'll need to page through a maddening "comic book" interface. By the time I finished making it through the "interactive" DVD, I felt like Bruce Wayne after his parents were murdered.
