Dear Collectors,

We are thrilled to announce the release of our first CP Steelbook [CP#000] The Batman. We have partnered with CP licenses to produce collectible steelbooks at a much lower price point, without including the movie discs. As an exclusive steelbook company, our goal is to always provide amazing designs and high-quality products for every movie steelbook, and we are excited to expand our collection with this new product line.

Unlike Homevideo Steelbooks, some movies may not have sufficient materials to work with, so not every release will be available in this product lineup. Additionally, we will only work on movies for which we can guarantee the quality of materials.

We understand that this concept may be new to our collectors, but we hope to receive the same support for our new lineup as we do for our existing products.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to sharing more amazing steelbooks in this lineup soon.

Best regards,

Manta Lab

Yes, there is a folder, which can also be used as a frame for the nice little lenticular

Nice, that's what I was expecting. Hopefully I get the batman lenti. I could live with the penguin, but I don't want the other 2.

My DL arrived today.

Having missed out on the original release, and not loving it enough to go into the aftermarket, I was happy to try the first discless release (I already have the 4k anyway). Overall, it's a solid if unspectacular offering which will do me just fine.

We knew the steelbook design was relatively simple but, IMO, execution is good. I had been worried about bare metal showing through, but that isn't the case at all - its a really nice finish. Nice embossing on the title too.

The lenticulars are well executed.

Here are some poorly composed, shockingly lit photos, which are also being randomly rotated when attached (even if I "adjust" for the rotation it still attaches in incorrectly - truly bizarre!)

Wow thanks for those great pics! The steelbook looks awesome! I actually prefer this artwork to the original release, so I‘m really happy the finish turned out to be so nice. Can‘t wait for it to arrive

 

[Bungral]

Think the Steelbook looks really nice to be fair. Nice deep glosssy Red.

 

[Punker76]

Nice edition, lookin' good.

 

[apsmith21]

He meant when the steelbook is open, thus, embossed

That's what I tell all my lady friends

Here is how the double lenticular and steelbook look on video.

 

[samdavies]

Nice, but why on earth would anyone upload a video in 480p in 2023. Baffling.

True, but hey it could also be 160p >.<

 

[samdavies]

True, but hey it could also be 160p >.<

I'm not even familiar with that resolution lol my vocabulary doesn't know below 360p, and even then it doesn't like it

 

[msc1228]

To be fair it's a YouTube thing. I have the newest iphone and i don't even know how to shoot in 480p.

 

[msc1228]

I've reuploaded the videos. Think they should be HD now.

Customs made me open my FS yesterday. I said that wasn't necessary in all the years that I have been collecting. She insisted. She want to see inside because she doesn't know what a Steelbook is.
I then had no choice but to open it. She even looked into all the envelopes and art cards. To top the confusion, there were no Discs inside, so it couldn't even be declared as a regular Blu-ray.
I felt violated afterwards. They did me on all fronts ... I'm just glad I'm not a "sealed" collector ...
