Inserts are being phased out by Warner all over the world.

that sucks - those inserts and booklets are usually what sets the orig dvds from the pirated dvds - aside from special features.

I dont thinks its phased out all over the world. Take this for example, I got it recently from a Warner released DVD.

I recently bought the Batman Begins 2-disc DE last Friday at Video City SM Sta. Mesa Branch. Viewed it at home right away. Wow, this is really not your conventional superhero movie. Kudos to Christopher Nolan for taking on a rather dark, psychological angle into the life of Bruce Wayne/Batman's character.

May problema nga lang ako sa binili kong copy. It's only a few hours ago that I viewed the special features disc. There was no option to display the interactive menu in English, so nahirapan akong mag-navigate throughout the entire disc. For example, I had to choose Chinese, so all the interactive menu options are in that language. Basta whatever is highlighted on the screen, I just clicked on it.

Posible kaya na mai-replace ko ang binili ko with another one that has the special features disc with English-language menu options? How am I going to explain my problem to the Video City saleslady?

...  english menu is available by choosing BAHASA in the language options. you may scroll til the end of the comics menu (which btw is in english) and you'll find the simple menu in english.

to make the subs disappear, press the subtitle button in your DVD player remote control till the "subs OFF" appear.

That's less a thematic insert and more of a marketing brochure for their other titles. What I'm referring to are the film-related inserts that used  to come with regular and SE releases. Inserts/booklets are still case-to-case with box sets or UEs but in general, they are phasing them out -- just like they did the snapper cases (worldwide) and digi-packs (R3).

For those who feel they're missing out because the R3 release does not include the MTV 2005 Movie Awards spoof "The Tankman Returns", you can download a copy here  8)


Was able to download the Tankman Begins video.  IMHO, hindi naman siya kawalan sa R3 release.  It wasn't really that funny compared to the LOTR spoof.  Kaya, satisfied na rin ako -- at least, napanood ko na rin siya.

By the way, has anyone noticed that the price sticker of the DE indicated that it included the "MOVIE ADAPTATION COMIC BOOK"?  The local Warner office must have initially presumed that the comic book would be that of the movie adaptation comic book since it has the same cover as the actual DE comic book.  Well, just a trivia....

FYI: For those who opened their Batman Begins DEs

Is this the credit printed on your "The Bat-Man" comic book insert?

 " Writer-Bob Kane  & Artist-Bill Finger"

or was it like this?

 " Writer-Bill Finger  & Artist-Bob Kane"


If the credit for writer and artist the same as the "red" marked above then Congratulations! You got the Erroroneous/Discontinued/Rare Comicbook Edition! else you got yourself the regular one, "blue" marked above

Where is this suppose to be located?  The inside front cover of my DE comic book only says "BY BOB KANE", while on page 18, it also just says "by Bob Kane".

Had a disappointing experience at Video City-SM Cubao this weekend ... I asked them if they had the DE, they showed it to me, I approached the cashier to pay for it ... and then they stopped me at the counter because "IT'S RESERVED"  >:( >:( >:( .... and there wasn't any other copy to be had in the whole of Cubao!

Grrrrr.

Yup, Php550. Stocks are going fast though so better buy a copy as soon as you arrive in the Philippines.
