Five animated films that showcase a number of different aspects of the Batman universe.

Alternatively, a money-grabbing collection from unconnected eras in Batman's animated history that don't complement each other much.

However you look at it, it's the only way to get three of the five films on Blu-ray in the UK without importing, so is perhaps noteworthy to those that prefer that particular format.

See below the cut for short musings on each one. I've listed them in the peculiar order that they're presented in the set, which isn't the order they were made or released and definitely isn't a very logical way in which to view them.

'As my evangelical work, I do record herein the various events to which I bore witness during my long travels with Ōkami Amaterasu.'

~Issun, Celestial Envoy.

Once upon a time it seemed like every cash-grabbing, whoring video game dev or publisher was producing special editions of their biggest titles that asked fans of 'Deluxe' to dig deep into their pockets to acquire.

Most included some kind of plastic figurine with little or no articulation, made for display purposes only; and that's fine as long as you know beforehand what you're getting and have the shelf space to display it.

The lazier developers didn't bother with any kind of plastic tat. They'd throw in an A5 art book with shiny paper and minimal content and figured it'd suffice.

The Ōkami Complete Works is kind of like that except it's on a bigger, grander and more beautiful scale, and the content is worth celebrating.

HAMMER: UK Stamps (2008)

HAMMER Stamps - Royal Mail (UK)

In 2008 Royal Mail released a trio of postage stamps celebrating the Carry On films. Not being a philatelist or a Carry On fan meant I didn't care. However, more importantly, alongside Cleo and friends they released a trio celebrating HAMMER Films. Those I did care about. I bought the set.
