I have received a Blu-ray combo of the the first 4 Batman movies as a gift from my friend, with the unspoken but known intent to replace my SD copies on my Plex server which they have access to. Previously, I only had the first two (1989 and 1992) up for reasons that anyone should understand.
So, taking the above into account, should I
- Encode and host the same two movies I had previously, restoring balance to the server, but leaving out 3 and 4 and not making the most of the gift.
- Encode and host 1-3, subjecting my server to Bat-Nipples but dodging the horror of an Ahhhnold Mr Freeze, while still not making the most of the gift?
- Encode and host all 4, forcing all who see my server to see both Bat-Nipples, Ahhnold, and Alicia Silverstone, but fully utilizing the gift?
- Same as # 1 above, but do the right thing by ritually burning 3 & 4 along with an effigy of Joel Schumacher?
- Bow to the psychic peer pressure of some rando crazy on the internet that think 3 & 4 were the best Batman movies of the era and only put up those 2?
- “There were Batman movies before Nolan?”

Public poll!
You are in the process of finding a new home. Assuming it does not contribute to any negative factors (location, price, low quality internet, etc) how would you consider a home being private enough (tall fences, blocked sightlines, large wooded property, etc) that you could comfortably be nude outdoors?
- Being nude outdoors appeals to me, so I would consider seclusion a plus.
- I don’t want to be nude outdoors but I would consider the seclusion a plus anyway.
- I’m an exhibitionist, so I would rather be nude outdoors where people can see me.
- I’d rather not live somewhere secluded, so I would consider it a negative.
