Batman (1989) (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]

I really like this simple design on this and Returns and agree they would look great in gloss. I'll probably wait for some in-hand pics before committing to this
Ive got all pre-nolan steels on pre-order, ill post pics when i get them 
I never understand why people cancel just because there's no inside art (unless you display them open). I get the whole price-drop thought, or lack of embossing etc.
That said, I very much doubt they'll be embossed. WB embossed steelbooks are very few and far between and while Batman, Batman Returns and Batman & Robin feature logos which might work embossed (they're not clean logos though) Batman Forever seems to be going with different poster art (which is a stupid decision) so any the titles could be embossed.
I'd say that inside artwork is very likely. I can't think of a UK WB steelbook without it (there must be some) so I doubt the Burton/Schumacher Batman's will be any different.

I'd rather have inside art than embossing and/or glossy finish. Blank inside to me represents a lazy effort. There is just no good reason for it.
I will cancel these Burton steels in a hot second if there is no artwork inside.
I'm no so much cancelling due to the lack of art but I bought the US version recently and if this is a nicer one, I'm taking the US ones back to the store and putting my order through.
Oh I completely get that. If someone wants a specific film in a steelbook, then they should get the version they like best (be it with inside art, or better artwork or whatever).
But I don't see the point in turning down a steelbook for a movie I want just because it has no inside art as it's either that or nothing. Then again, I don't display them. They just go on the shelf, so to me I like a nice spine I suppose.
I can't believe they went with the logos for three of the steelbooks and then with Forever - which has the best logo of them all, has Kilmer on the front.
What a way to ruin a potential lovely set of steelbooks.

They are shipping these and still no word on the inside?
Well that about does it for me. I am not participating in this.
Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman and Robin.
All cancelled. 2 copies of each.
Screw that.
Cancelled my Amazon order,and thought I would give Sainsburys ago,as its a couple of quid cheaper
I was happy with my Django Unchained steelbook I got from there. Packaging was a lot better than expected and you can spend nectar points aswell.
Don't expect it to be next day though. Allow 2-3 working days after dispatch email.
I know... but USA and CAN is already confirmed with no inside art, and CAN almost always has inside art, so I didn't want to keep my order. Besides, I am not super worried about all these selling out in the next few days. We will begin to see unboxing vids and pics posted here soon enough

More like 8-9 days in my recent experience, but that's probably more down to poor service from Royal Mail which seems to be very slow generally in my area!
There has never been a Warner UK release without inside artwork as far as I can see. I challenge someone to name one, because I can't.
