Is there an earlier scene in outer space I'm forgetting? --THX |
It's the point where he is being sent home the first time in that gooey transporter. The walls open up and he sees he's really in space. At that point the image opened up even further to 2.35:1 (if the theater presented it correctly). The DVD (and HBO-HD this month) didn't replicate this.

Santa Brings The Dark Knight For X-Mas By George 'El Guapo' Roush on April 17, 2008 A mystery informant located deep within the bowels of Hollywood has given us information on the release date of The Dark Knight DVD and it looks likes it's coming just in time for Christmas. On December 9th, 2008 expect The Dark Knight to hit store shelves and be a huge seller this holiday season. And if that isn't enough, Speed Racer will cross the finish line into stores on November 25th, 2008 just in time for Black Friday weekend!! http://www.latinoreview.com/news/san...for-x-mas-4461 No Deleted Scenes In Dark Knight DVD The Dark Knight is getting closer and closer to its release date (you can see my review here) and already we hear some news about the DVD for the film. The folks over at IFMagazine give us the following: “We know there won’t be any deleted scenes because there never are,” says Roven, noting director Nolan puts everything of importance in the actual movie. “There weren’t any on BATMAN BEGINS and there weren’t any on this one.” That’s too bad in a way. Aside from the directors commentary, deleted scenes are my favorite features of a DVD. Not just because I get to see extra stuff… but rather I get to see and understand the mind of a director a little bit more when and why they decide certain things need to go and how those little decisions can alter the entire feel of a film. In this case specifically the film could have used a little editing. My one and only complaint about Dark Knight is that it’s too long for the movie that it is. But that’s just me. http://www.themovieblog.com/2008/07/...ark-knight-dvd |

Alternate lines and takes were used in the trailers, and there were also more small scenes cut for pacing reasons.

Everything that hit the cutting room floor made it there because that's where it really belonged and I don't blame Nolan for deciding it should stay there.

I doubt we will see it on DVD/Blu-Ray, but there is definitely some stuff that was cut. |
Any chance for a Batman Begins/The Dark Knight boxed set?

I'm excited that there is already a date for the film on DVD. Definitely looking forward to picking up the Blu-Ray |
I've already decided: the day "The Dark Knight" comes out on DVD, I'm throwing away my cell phone, not going to work, and locking myself in a room to watch this movie over and over again until someone breaks the door down.

Excellent movie! Can't wait to get the dvd to get rid of the babies and talkers. I may try to check it out in IMAX, though!

I always find myself revisiting Batman Begins on DVD, so I have no doubts this will get just as much attention come December and beyond. I kinda wish they'd include the deleted scenes and alternate takes, but I'll be pretty happy if they at least include both of the major theatrical trailers. K |
I just hope there is a commentary this time around.
|
Really hope they have poster concepts for The Dark Knight like they did with Batman Begins.
|
I hope they have a section to place all the posters, trailers (TV and movie) and maybe a featurette on the viral marketing.
|
I'm kinda surprised there won't be an unrated cut. There were a couple shots that seemed forced because Nolan had to pull away to avoid an R rating. Joker having his knife in the guy's mouth was one I remember.
|
I don't think DC/Warner would allow an unrated Batman movie.

if the dark knight has a chance to exceed Titanic in total box office sales would they delay the dvd release and try to milk as much money out of the box office and the theatrical run before releasing it on DVD?

Anyone know what the store exclusives or freebies for this DVD will be?
it will be better to know now so you can preorder any exclusive gift sets or dvds that come with bonus dvds since they will probably sell out on the first day of release. |

well all Film buffs like ourselves and the average Blu Ray consumer who may not know (these two can also be the same) will get, as we all know now, the IMAX version of TDK. That alone is damn fine gift with the Blu Ray disc. I'm assuming will get a Tribute to Heath Ledger thing, and around the same amount of material that was presented in the BB 2 disc DVD. Just you know...the TDK edition of the material, comics it was based on *The Killer Joke, The Man that Laughs, more Long Halloween, and of course the first issues with The Joker*, How they came up and made the Bat Pod, etc....
|
I like the movie, and have Batman Begins, but don't know if I'll get this one. I saw it last night (my first DLP movie!) and while underwhelmed is putting it a bit strongly, wasn't as blown away as I was with BB. Much better than the usual summer action crap, but far from a perfect movie. Started to drag before the end. Could have used some cuts here and there to speed up the pace. And was I the only one put off by the cop's flippant comment when the helicopter is "closelined"? I'm getting off the subject. I'm not a knee-jerk "everyone loves it so it can't be good" movie goer, either. It just wasn't/couldn't be as good as everyone had said.

/Film reader Tony F sent us some photos of what could be the inevitable gift sets and box art for The Dark Knight’s DVD / Blu-ray release. We’ve heard that Warner Bros wants to release the film on home video in December (we’ve heard December 8th), to take advantage of gift season. These have NOT been confirmed by the studio, and very well could be fan creations. But for now, lets just pretend they are real. The most impressive of the bunch is the 2-Disc BatPod Collector’s Edition, where the two discs are housed in the base of a BatPod display (which looks roughly 1:18 scale). There is also a 2-Disc BatMask edition, seen below. The movie will be available in three standard flavors (from left to right): A 2-disc special edition, A 2-disc special edition in a limited Steelbook case, and on Blu-Ray. http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-conte...batpoddvd1.jpg http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-conte...vd-440x256.jpghttp://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-conte...batmaskdvd.jpghttp://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-conte...es/tdkdvds.jpg |
If those are in fact real, I'd probably go with the Steelbook. The batpod and mask don't do much for me. I'd be willing to bet they are fake, though.

Assuming they are real, steelbook for me. Looks awesome.
|
I usually love the exclusive box set stuff.. but (assuming they're real), these don't excite me at all. The steelbook, though, is very pretty. ;)
|
I think that Blu-ray's a Steelbook! :eek:
|
Aren't all Blu-ray cases curved at the corners, though? I mean, it could be, I guess, but there's no way to tell from that low-res pic.
|
Assuming it's real, I'm in for the steelbook.
|
I think the DVD with the Batman mask is a fake.
I hope to God the steelbook one is real, though. |
I like the one with the mask best. Not so much for the mask itself but for the "Why So Serious" artwork on the DVD case.
|
There's no way those are real. I don't have a way to point it out right now, but if you look closely at the steelbook and then the Blu-ray next to it you can see that all they did was take the the steelbook, cut off the bottom and tack on the Blu-ray header.
Ain't real. Even part of the steelbook packaging is sticking above the blue header. |
