[Released] (No longer available) Batman 1989 35mmized

Those are the same frames I referenced as well. And yeah, the color variance of the remaster is is pretty odd, which is why I gave up on it in favor of grading the old BD. Another shot that seems to be affected by the remaster's colors is the bat-signal on the clouds. In your grade it looks completely white, since it is a bright cyan in the UHD.

I'm sure it's full of such little problems, yeah. Out of curiosity, what color should the bat signal be?

Overall your shots look very filmic, and they do remind me of other 35mm sources I've seen too.

That's the highest compliment I could hope for, thank you!

EDIT: You're totally right about the matte paintings. Beautiful work with a lot of depth that doesn't really show in the low contrast video releases. Here's mine:

Yep.

Well this is interesting. Switching between yours and mine, it looks like they used some power windows on the UHD grade and made the bottom/bottom right brighter, which actually might be part of what makes it look more real too. Gee, all this tinkering!
