The Dark Knight (SPOILERS!)

Illinoisguy1 · 27 Aug 08 :: 23:31

From the digitalbits.com rumor mill.

Don't you just love reliable industry sources? Us too. Ours have just checked in with more new DVD and Blu-ray street dates, this time for a trio of MUCH anticipated Warner titles. Here's what to expect in November and December...
12/9 - The Dark Knight
Word is, there will be FOUR different versions of The Dark Knight, including single-disc and 2-disc DVDs, a 3-disc Blu-ray and some kind of Blu-ray limited edition packaged with cool swag.

I love The Dark Knight as well, Anne. I'm glad you finally got to see it.

I really hope it's released on 12/9 I can't wait to buy it on DVD, especially the 2 disc version.

Haha, I like that pic!

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 28 Sep 08 :: 08:38

I can't wait until it's released. I really want to buy the 2 disc version.

Man, Heath Ledger was amazing. It was the only good movie this summer.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 16 Oct 08 :: 03:01

I liked Iron Man, too. But not much else.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 16 Oct 08 :: 04:30

Heath was definitely amazing! No one could play a better joker than him.

Illinoisguy1 · 09 Dec 08 :: 23:52

Just watched it.

Heath was very good. As was Eckhart.

It was kind of slow at first. I think it didn't start getting good until the entire Joker chasing after Dent in the armored truck. I did think that the destruction of the Batmobile/Tumbler was a mistake. I didn't really like the Batpod/bike that much. Just too weak looking. But I've never been a fan of bikes anyways.

I think the best sequences was the above mentioned Joker chasing Dent in the armored truck, the blowing up of the hospital.

I will say it's not really that much of an action film, if anything it's more of a psychological drama.

I will say the ending was somewhat of a letdown though to me. The Joker didn't get killed, Dent gets killed and Batman becomes a wanted man.

I think if it wasn't for Heath's performance that overall it's a slight disappointment to me. The basic story was just kind of, I don't know --meh!! The only thing that saved the movie for me was Heath. I was looking for an action packed film, but the action wasn't really that exciting to me.

I think I like Batman Begins better.
I don't know if it was all of the hype, but I was expecting a much better film.

I think I would rate it a B-/ borderline C+.

Dent didn't necessarily die...

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 10 Dec 08 :: 06:28

I really like The Dark Knight. I'm not obsessed with it though like a lot of people. I think Heath gave an amazing performance! In my opinion it's the best Batman movie.

As with Transformers a year ago, some people collect just about every dvd edition out there.

For example, here is what one guy bought of the Dark Knight dvd releases.

For me, I pick the edition I want the most and buy that. I can't see about owning every exclusive edition. But it's their money.

b11001001 · 11 Dec 08 :: 01:23

Didn't know there were that many editions. I like the far left one with Heath the most! ;D

b11001001 · 11 Dec 08 :: 01:26

You know how on the 2 disc special edition has the digital copy? Does that mean it has 3 discs then? Or does it have the movie and bonus features on one disc and then the 2nd disc is the digital copy then it equals to 2 discs? I don't know why I'm so confused!

b11001001 · 11 Dec 08 :: 01:31

Yay, I'm unchallenged. I want to stay here now.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 11 Dec 08 :: 02:28

You better stay, girl.

b11001001 · 11 Dec 08 :: 03:25

Hehehe! Sure will!

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 11 Dec 08 :: 05:45

I can't believe some people would buy all the versions of The Dark Knight. That's a lot of money to spend...

On the version I have this is how it's broken down.

Disc 1: Movie only
Disc 2: Digital Copy and a few Bonus Features.
Disc 3: 1 Exclusive Featurette

On the regular 2 disc set, it's just the first 2 discs.

Here is the back cover of the 2 disc set.

If you buy the 1 disc edition, you get no extras whatsoever.

Just in case anyone is wondering how it's doing on dvd/blu-ray, it's doing very well to say the least.

Over 600,000 Blu-ray copies and three million DVD copies of "The Dark Knight" have sold in the film's first day of release reports Deadline Hollywood Daily.
The previous Blu-ray record holder was "Iron Man" which took a week to sell 400,000 copies. Over seven million regular DVD copies of the film are expected to be sold by week's end.
To give you a comparison the bestselling DVD of last year was "Transformers" which sold nearly fourteen million units over the space of around twelve weeks. "Finding Nemo" is the best selling DVD of all time with 30 million copies sold as of last year.

Thanks, a bunch...DVD's are getting so confusing lately for me.

Editsound · 18 Dec 08 :: 04:11

I hope this isn't true for Deb's sake. (actually I think this casting would be terrible.

Good thing Heath's not in it so I won't need to see it. Or maybe Sheepers'll break another limb or go to jail or something for being an arrogant little prat and have to drop out. :fedup:

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 18 Dec 08 :: 05:55

I can't stand Shia! Chris should play Robin!!!
