Zero Varnish means matte right? So looks like NA is getting a.superior finish. Please correct me if am wrong.

Thanks bud but wanted to know if Satin is gloss or gloss like? This is getting worrying as TDKR original release with the broken cowl was horrendous and it was matte finish.

Lol zero varnish

It looks like Studios simply don't give a @@@@ about collectors and their preferences.

Satin finish is a half way house, it gives a slightly glossy effect but nothing like as good as full gloss. It's a lot better than matte though!

A satin finish probably feels best in hand too. Very smooth but they are slippery f*ckers !

Just the way I see it . . . and for accurate descriptions a message to Scanavo is the way to go.

ZERO VARNISHED = POLISHED MATTE
Best of both worlds (IMO) and used ideally for fine detail steelbooks to give that extra kick that plain matte Matte may not provide - at the same time keeping all the fine detail which might be "lost" if a full Gloss varnish is applied.

https://translate.google.com/transl...ro-finish-de-certains-steelbooks/&prev=search for a brief, interesting article - with pics - of the differences between Matte and Zero.

SATIN VARNISH = MATTE GLOSS
Almost as if a Matte steelbook has been given a layer of Gloss varnish followed by a layer of Matte varnish to tone it down giving it a "silky' appearance but still with a sheen but a muted sheen when compared side-by-side to a Zero finish.

Jury's out on which finish is the "best in show" as each has specific qualities that the others do not have and a particular finish may suit a particular steelbook better depending on several factors (and not my place to go into the minefield of Gloss vs. Matte vs. this that and the other here).

I am Superman, thanks for the compliment.
I can come faster than a speeding bullet when there is a need. But it doesn't matter because this gun got way more than six shots
Also, you may have mistaken me for Flash

Anyone seen the UC version yet? I'm so pumped for this. And my little Amazon statue will sit proudly next to my Arkham statue like the true Batgeek I am.

Thanks mate. So Zero Varnish IMO is thick matte finish which means this follows Man of Steel then wherein NA was gloss and it was so much better in terms of finish and look whilst the WWA artwork was only so-so because of matte finish

The recent UK Batman Steels had Satin finish and it was so much better than the matte finish counterparts released outside the UK.

So looks like Warner has screwed us over again unless something magical happens.

Seems like a couple of us have seen it

My personal opinion is it's much better and feels like a full film instead of strange editing, cut plot lines and in general not feeling finished

Don't worry about it man. I once told a girlfriend I was like Spider-Man. She said "was it because of your finely tuned physique?". My reply was "No, it's because I cannot get out of the damned bath without assistance".

That's odd but i personally think it's wrong info.

Don't make sense why uk would have 8 mins missing from the UC

Time will tell

Luckily I'll be buying mine from HDzeta

I am not declaring anything. Information is provided by the bbfc.

So any challenging you can take it up with The British Board of Film Classification.
As for it, I really don't care and as for you as well !

I don't know why you always try to seem to pick fights.
