Robo does look a bit big on this art but this steelbook still looks really good to me. This wil be bought!

I knocked this up quickly:

Gloss treatment on the chrome and it would be a classic.

Yes!

That's much more like it!

 

[kron]

Yeah that looks great. Debossed title and dare I say it matte background with spot gloss on robo and police car.

 

[DarkKnight71]

Yes!

That's much more like it!

Now that would be nice.

That would be amazing! Why do so many Blu-ray designers feel the need to give us something new instead of sticking to the iconic original artwork? The design they've chosen is crap - they're obviously going for The Dark Knight with the sparks and the standing in the middle of a teal street. Like others have said he looks like a giant and the spine is reversed.

 

[SaberTooth]

hmm that zavvi artwork might suggest a matte finish

The reason is because collectors constantly ask for it. If amaray artwork is used many collectors moan about it being lazy even if it looks great.

Yup, exactly! They can't please everyone unfortunately... some will love it, some will hate it. That's what makes it more interesting though imo.

Not sure whether it's been mentioned in the comments above, but the release date is the 27th of January 2014, which is the week before the new reboot film opens in the UK cinemas

Yes, but had that mock-up design ever been used on an Amaray release?

The last time I saw that image used was on my old Virgin VHS release.

I'd assume collectors prefer original poster art, rather than the photoshop crap we get today.

 

[henry00x]

why is the spine upside down?

 

[southam1978]

I believe it is taken from the French artwork who do that on there blu rays

 

[sickboy84]

Hopefully their remastered version looks better than the original version!

 

[Gamesgaryjp]

The price on this is up in dreamworld!

Hmmm so Amazon is gonna be £19.99 then Will re-order my US amaray I think.....

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

why is the spine upside down?

I hope it stays upside down and then the sales dip for it. Serves the greedy buggers right.

 

[Dragon Lee]

Artwork looks damn good imo. Im hoping its atleast region-A if not region free.

 

[Basil]

price on this one will dip down to around £14.99 reckon its not an exclusive after all, that or they will find it will not sell at those prices. it maybe limited but i bet run is not that limited as is being split across retailers after all.
