The gray flashbacks are the only time you truly notice the difference, and everything just feels more muted, less flamboyant, like it's taking a step away from Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns. I was hesitant, but purchased the Deluxe Version anyway. The addition of "The Innocent One" and the colors the way they were meant to be are worth the price.

The flashbacks and Red Hood have much more impact and I always thought the yellow oval made him seem like a Golden-Era hero when I imagined Batman as a dark, brooding character, the oval doesn't suit him but I feel that the Joker reveal would of been better if it was left untouched. (All the colors are dull until you see the Joker's face) It would of had much more imact and effect. I think that the re-mastered version is much better.

Of course new technologies added a lot to the industry, and we could make a greater colorig on this art piece, but without changing the original intention of the story. And I feel that this color key changes too much the atmosphere of the tale turning it to a another different direction. As an example, the Water/Tears of the Joker when he comes out of the Acid, now it turns into Blood??? Why?? Thanks! O. Original Colors were Great!

It's not so much re-colored as it is DE-colored. I agree, it does look but they seemed to go overboard with the new look. It’s not so much re-colored as it is DE-colored.
