Kinda figured they would go with these posters, which doesn't bother me as I like all 3 but def was hoping for something new. Not a big fan of this brown, might be better in hand but I love the colours for the other 2.
Now for the back, this def annoys me. Its one thing to have a plain back but if you're gonna put an image on why recycle one from the front. Just screams 'were too lazy to put some thought into this.'

Oh well its not enough to deter me, I like the poster art for the covers and that's enough for a purchase.
 
I was really hoping that theses releases were going to have eye popping artwork but instead Disney has signed off on the usual boring unimaginative "stars heads with random movie scene" image that is so common amongst film poster artwork these days.
Compare these with the new French "Dark Knight" steel, it's in a different league.
Ah well, i'll just have to hope that some other country will do a better release in the future, hopefully by repopping the Futureshop artwork as that's the one i really want but i'm not going to pay the current inflated prices to get it.
Before anyone says that doing that will devalue the original, remember what they say in the adverts "your investment can go done as well as up", them's the breaks !

I've very happy with most of Zavvi's steelbooks recently as none have interested me. So I'm saving loads of money. Apart from major blockbusters exclusive steelbooks I'm putting the steelbooks on the back burner for a while.
 
I don't usually weigh in on alot but I'm not a fan of these. The back artwork ruins them all for me even if the rest was spectacular. I know it's a blockbuster and in hand the front might look amazing although it sure doesn't seem likely looking at it but I guess I have been surprised before. I just can't see how these are going to be worth 50 plus Euros for the 3 because I don't see many people just getting one, not sure if Zavvi is going to release the forth? What am I missing?
