New on DVD: Week of May 3

This is one of the least impressive weeks for releases that I can remember. Nothing is very appealing, unless you’re a fan of ‘Batman’. All the ‘Batman’ films pre Batman Begins will be released on Blu-ray. The only two I’d consider buying though are Batman and Batman Returns. The others I’d like to just forget they were ever made, let alone watch them in hi-def. Here is the full release schedule broken up by standard DVD and Blu-ray:
