The monstrous Penguin, who dwells in the sewers beneath Gotham, joins up with corrupt mayoral candidate Max Shreck to topple the Batman once and for all. But when Shreck's timid assistant Selina Kyle finds out, and Shreck tries to kill her, she's transformed into the sexy Catwoman. She teams up with the Penguin and Shreck to destroy Batman, but sparks fly unexpectedly when she confronts the caped crusader.

Shout Factory A-Tier 4K, part of the same wave as RoboCop 2, Matinee, and Species II. The 2014 remake still gets dismissed by fans of the original, but Shout's transfer is strong enough that some people are revisiting it.

Sony A-Tier 4K. The Raimi trilogy and Amazing films are native 4K masters, while the Tom Holland films are upscaled. That gap shows, and collectors who've compared them side by side tend to prefer the older films on a purely visual level. The Legacy Collection steelbook set surfaces at used shops occasionally.

Shout Factory A-Tier 4K. The Boston Globe journalism film that won Best Picture. Shout Factory picked this up and the signal is thin, which tracks for a drama that's more about the writing than the visuals. If you care about the film it's worth owning, but it's not a transfer that's going to sell anyone on the format.

Burton's Gotham still looks better than most modern comic book films, and the HDR gives the production design room to breathe. B-Tier transfer that people wish were higher.
