The remastered screenings will see both films presented in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for the first time ever
Whether you're experiencing Batman's (Michael Keaton) most heroic moments or witnessing chilling scenes with iconic villains like The Joker (Jack Nicholson), The Penguin (Danny DeVito), and Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer), Dolby Vision transforms every frame with deeper blacks, sharper contrast, and more vivid colors. Meanwhile, Dolby Atmos elevates the film's soundscape and score with pristine depth and dimensionality, allowing everything from the Batwing's engines to Danny Elfman's iconic score to envelop audiences in multi-dimensional immersive sound. Together, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos magnify Burton's trademark visual style and enrich Gotham's gothic atmosphere.
"I hadn't watched these films since I made them, and seeing them again with this level of clarity, beauty, color, and sound felt really new and exciting," said filmmaker Tim Burton. "Dolby Atmos and Vision brought it all to life in a fresh way."
"Batman and Batman Returns remain seminal films in the history of the Super Hero genre," said Michelle Maddalena, Vice President of Global Content and Industry Relations at Dolby. "The new presentation of these films in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos honors Tim Burton's bold creativity while showcasing how far audio and image technology have evolved."
"Tim Burton's acclaimed Batman films deliver a dark, iconic vision of Gotham City that continues to influence the modern Super Hero genre today," said Jeff Goldstein, President of Global Distribution at Warner Bros. Pictures. "With their advancements over the past decades, Dolby now transforms these beloved classics into completely new cinematic experiences through Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, delivering unprecedented visual and audio fidelity."
Burton's Batman films are not only celebrated classics, but they also ushered in a new era for cinematic audio, marking a historic moment for Dolby and the entire film industry. When Batman Returns premiered in 1992, it broke new ground as the first feature film presented in Dolby Digital, the revolutionary audio technology that would become synonymous with "surround sound" in cinema. This revolutionary legacy continues today through Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, Dolby's latest innovations which have transformed how audiences experience movies today by delivering awe-inspiring picture quality together with incredible immersive sound.
