The Dark Knight

[Adeniz19]

This movie needs it's own thread once again for news/discussion. Mostly, I just wanted to post my frustration with the academy for some technicality bullshit that disqualifies TDK's score for being nominated

http://www.variety.com/awardcentral_article/VR1117995767.html?nav=news&categoryid=1982&cs=1

[CarryOn09]

poo. that score was good.

[eMart]

I can't believe this soundtrack has been disqualified, especially because it was very complimentary to the film. This is like the bullshit last year when they disqualified TWBB's soundtrack too. Hopefully it still gets all the nominations it deserves.

[Bryant]

How I miss the TDK thread name. :-(

[airik625]

How I miss the TDK thread name. :-(

I was just thinking the same thing.

[Adeniz19]

I don't see how having more names attributed to it should disqualify it. The score was fantastic and the movie probably wouldn't of been half as good as it was without it.

[Bryant]

I was just thinking the same thing.
Do you know why it changed? And where have you been? Haha.

[airik625]

Do you know why it changed? And where have you been? Haha.

Someone changed the name of TDK thread to the Entertainment Chat Thread.

Ha, I've been really busy lately and just hadn't had any time really to get online. That has changed though.

[Adeniz19]

Let's try to avoid making this another chat thread and stick to the movie haha

[airik625]

When they re-release it, will it be all over the country, or just in New York and some other big city?

[Adeniz19]

When they re-release it, will it be all over the country, or just in New York and some other big city?
I'm not sure. Hopefully they re-release it in all the IMAXs

I'm not sure. Hopefully they re-release it in all the IMAXsThat would be awesome since I never caught it in IMAX.

[Drew Beringer]

Can't wait for the DVD release, the movie re-release, and to see what it gets nominated for. If TDK gets a nom for best picture, I'm going streaking.

[buysoap]

I never saw this movie. Was it any good?

[airik625]

The Dark Knight steelbook is going to be so fucking badass.

[Adeniz19]

I never saw this movie. Was it any good?It needed more Johnny Depp and Bane

[Adeniz19]

The Dark Knight steelbook is going to be so fucking badass.They are releasing a steelbook? pics?

[buysoap]

It needed more Johnny Depp and Bane
What is this about? Is this the one where Martin Lawrence travels back in time? I heard that it wasn't as good as Blue Streak

[airik625]

Yeah, it's going to be Futureshop and FYE exclusive. I think the front is going to be Batman on the Batpod and the back is going to be the Joker (of the posters)

and the front might be a 3D look.

Here is the link for the pre-order, not sure if they ship these. If they don't, let me know and I can pick an extra one up for you and send it to you.

[VoiceoffCamera]

Steelbook isn't blu-ray is it? I want the steelbook but I want to get the movie in blu-ray

[Miss Heartcore]

I want it but I don't like the cover.

[Ailite]

Great job fucking over one of the best scores of the year again Academy. There Will Be Blood should have been nominated and should have won last year, and The Dark Knight had a fantastic score.

[airik625]

Steelbook isn't blu-ray is it? I want the steelbook but I want to get the movie in blu-ray

I believe they are going to have a Blu-Ray steelbook as well.

[Batman138]

Did you guys read about this bullshit, a mayor in Turkey is trying to sue Nolan because there is a city actually named "Batman" in Turkey:

"The mayor of Batman, the actual name of a city in Turkey, is suing both Warner Bros. and director Christopher Nolan for a piece of TDK's considerable profits. The allegations include using the city's name without permission, partial blame for unsolved murders, a high female suicide rate, and general difficulties for the city's natives."

Heres the full link: http://joblo.com/batman-sues-nolan

[sweetforever]

What is the date for the rerelease? I'm gonna have to catch it on IMAX if I'm home for school and working when it's rereleased.

Is this serious??
Of all people, he sues Nolan?
Ah. Okay. Because DC comics isn't to blame for using the name in the first place.. Hm.

[stayillogical]

I get to watch this on a big screen again on Wednesday. My school's Student Entertainment Committee is playing it in our auditorium for free! I'm excited. :celebrate:

I've watched it once through, and then just a few parts here and there.

Can't wait for the blu-ray though.

I missed out on this. I had to study for an exam although from 8-9, I was distracted by Pushing Daisies, then 9-10:30 all the AP drama in the Thursday thread. I should have just gone. :-(On the other hand, I heard it sold out (which is like 850 people) and the line started at 7. Ick. I told people they should've at least charged a few bucks.

[Jason Tate]

it needs to get over the billion mark
Heh, soon as the DVD hits ... it'll be welllll over.

[drudo182]

I am really getting excited for the DVD release myself. I hit my peak for this movie after seeing it a couple times over the summer, but I'm ready again.

And yeah, we are playing it this week on campus but usually the screeners are like full-screen VHS copies. Kind of lllame. I'll wait until I buy it.

[Adeniz19]

Heh, soon as the DVD hits ... it'll be welllll over.haha i don't think dvd sales count towards the box office number

[drudo182]

Maybe he just meant franchise money for the film itself.

[Jason Tate]

What are the special features?

[Adeniz19]

http://www.andpop.com/article/12747

The numbers you are looking at are revenue ... not box office.same thing. that article is pointing out that TDK might already be at a million because some foreign markets haven't updated their totals. if you look at box office mojo's worldwide numbers, they don't take dvd sales into their total

[dissident]

aren't they re-releasing it to theatres next month anyway? that will for sure push it over the billion mark

[Jason Tate]

same thing. that article is pointing out that TDK might already be at a million because some foreign markets haven't updated their totals. if you look at box office mojo's worldwide numbers, they don't take dvd sales into their total
Revenue and Box Office are not the same thing.

[drudo182]

I don't think the re-release is until January.

[eMart]

What are the special features?

Gotham Uncovered: How Christopher Nolan and his team developed the new Bat-suit and Bat-pod and composer Hans Zimmer musically characterized the Joker’s reign of chaos.
The Dark Knight IMAX® Scenes: View these 6 action-packed sequences--shot on the largest format possible--in their original IMAX framing, just as they were intended
Gotham Tonight: 6 episodes of Gotham Cable's premier news program
The Galleries: Poster art and production stills
Digital Copy of the feature film
Except I don't think the Digital Copy of the film is included with the steel book version.

[Adeniz19]

Revenue and Box Office are not the same thing.for those numbers it is. it's the "box office revenue". shit i'm sure this movie has made double that billion if you take into account the revenue from toys/books/soundtracks for TDK.

Wow, totally fucked over on special features. Boooooo. I want a 2-disc with a huge documentary thing like on BB.

[drudo182]

I was hoping to have some stuff on Heath Ledger too.

[Adeniz19]

i'm sure the special edition versions will have more to it. i'm fine with just having the movie

[drudo182]

98% of the time I just want the movie but with DK, I want some stuff to watch after I watch the movie again.

[Thomas Balkcom]

It'll be my second Blu-Ray purchase I think, I really want the Steelbook but I'm going for quality on this one.

[sweetforever]

Love this movie, been watching scenes on Youtube to hold myself over until I get the DVD.

[irthetyler]

Pre-ordered (bizarre) the blu ray. Figured I better be safe as if it happened to sell out I would be pissed.

Well the Blu-Ray version is getting a few more extra features which sucks for those of us yet to go Blu.

Blu-ray special features:

http://www.thehdroom.com/images/bluray/back/4624.jpg
Gotham Uncovered: Creation of a Scene: Director Christopher Nolan and creative collaborators unmask the incredible detail and planning behind the film, including stunt staging, filming in IMAX®, and the new Bat-suit and Bat-pod.
Batman Tech: The incredible gadgets and tools (in HD)
Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of The Dark Knight: Delve into the psyche of Bruce Wayne and the world of Batman through real-world psychotherapy (in HD)
Gotham Tonight: 6 episodes of Gotham Cable's premier news program
The Galleries: The Joker cards, concept art, poster art, production stills, trailers and TV spots


I'm sure we'll see a deluxe version in a few months after getting some sort of academy nomination (we know it's boutnd to get something) so they can advertise it on the box. I bet it will have all the Blu-Ray special features along with some featurettes about how big TDK was, what it means for the Batman franchise etc. and maybe some commentary from some people who worked on the film sans Nolan.

I can't express how excited I am for this DVD to come out. Only a couple more weeks.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

I had a dream that I came across it at Best Buy, and I decided to not buy it unless it was a special edition or two discs or whatever.

[airik625]

I will not settle for anything but a two disc special edition. I hope I get a steelbook before they all sell out.

[Kif]

I love how this thread came back once the movie leaked.

Can't wait to get this. It better be up to rent on Xbox Live too, I so want to see this in HD.

Pre-ordered from Best Buy earlier this week because you got a poster with it. Already had one of Batman so I got the one of the Joker walking on the street. Already came in too, which is awesome.

I'm not sure what you're speculating. If you're simply hoping TDK will be released on Blu-Ray in the US, no worries. That's a given. If, however, you're hoping for this specific packaging...not sure.

Don't wanna disappoint but from what I heard the Blu-Ray steelbook is NOT coming to the US. Only the DVD is getting the steelbook and it's exclusive to FYE. http://www.fye.com/The-Dark-Knight--WS---2-Discs---Steelbook---Special-Edition---f-y-e--Exclusive--Movies_stcVVproductId54879259VVcatI d455376VVviewprod.htm

So if you want the Blu-Ray steelbook, it looks like you're going to have to import it.

I've read a couple things speaking of a possibility of FYE having just a few of these and are simply not advertising them, but like I said it was just some speculation I read and although I do doubt it, it'd be awesome.

Yeah, I was talking about the Steelbook packaging due to the fact that I collect Steelbooks but I just recently started purchasing Blu-Rays, so I'm a bit torn when it comes to this.

Batman RIP will see "the end of Bruce Wayne as Batman", the comic's Scottish writer Grant Morrison has revealed to avid readers.

There are rumours Bruce Wayne may either retire from his duties or be killed by a mystery villain known as the Black Glove.

His fate will be revealed when the comic is published on 26 November.

Either way, Wayne's demise will lead to a hunt for a new replacement Batman to take on the cape.
"What I am doing is a fate worse than death - things that no one would expect to happen to these guys at all," Morrison said in the recent interview with Comic Book Resources.

He would not reveal who would be the new Batman, but the frontrunners include Tim Drake who has been Robin since 1991 and Dick Grayson - the original Boy Wonder - who now protects Gotham City as Nightwing.

It is not the first time a superhero has met an unfortunate end in the comic world.
Last year, Captain America was killed after being shot by a sniper in New York.
Superman's death in 1992 at the hands of Doomsday became the biggest selling Superman comic in history. He was later resurrected.

"Using science which we mere mortals cannot even understand, the Eradicator put Superman in a Kryptonian rejuvenation matrix that massaged him back to life," said DC Comics editor Mike Carlin, explaining the hero's return.

Captain America was killed?!

Yeah, there was a cover story in Game Informer a couple months back, it looks awesome.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

I wish the trailer showed a bit more on what was going on, but it looks good graphic wise.

Sounds cool but that trailer shows nothing.

[Prestonxsmith]

Sounds cool but that trailer shows nothing.
The trailer shows that most of the "patients" from Arkham have escaped. Meaning the game is set in Gotham City, not just Arkham.

Oh....
Well then yeah, your right.

[drudo182]

Oh....
Well then yeah, your right.

I only said that because people on SHH were talking about how amazing it looks when they don't show a thing.

Hope it turns out good. Don't think there has been a good Batman video game yet.

[Robb]

The Gotham Uncovered feature on the DVD is awesome.

[drudo182]

What does it show/talk about?

[Robb]

Behind the scenes stuff on all sorts of movie topics: the prologue, the Joker's music, stunts/explosions/effects, etc.

[drudo182]

Is there any good behind-the-scenes stuff or interviews with Heath on the features?

Cannot wait to own this on DVD.

December 9th needs to be here soon

[airik625]

Just saw tihs again at our local dollar theater and can still honestly say it's one of my favorite movies to come out in the couple years. December 9th seems so far away.

[Adeniz19]

they should of done some sort of viral marketing for the dvd release

[drudo182]

I hope the BB clown mask is cool.

You know what would have been awesome? If the 2-disc version came with a digital copy. Oh well.

[donwagenblast]

reserved the steel case in september at FYE. so pumped.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

I still think that there will be another, better, release after the awards. That'll suck, but it'll be a good thing.

[donwagenblast]

i'll be so pissed if they do that haha

[Adeniz19]

i need this dvd already so i can notice small things like this:


There is a reference to _The Usual Suspects (1995)_, where a box bearing the label 'Kaiser Soze' (sic) can be seen in Harvey Dent's office, during Jim Gordon's meeting with Dent at the start of the film.

I think I might buy this movie three times. One for the mask, one for the Batman figure, one for the Joker figure.

Does futureshop.ca offer international shipping?
We are unable to ship orders outside of Canada. But we do accept most credit cards issued in Canada and the United States for payment.

[Thomas Balkcom]

Futureshop. They ship to the U.S. no problem.

have you ordered something from them before?

[Thomas Balkcom]

SteelBook you dolt.



Ya, but it was last year. V for Vendetta SB. That is shitty they don't ship internationally anymore. Way shitty.

Thank you for correcting him and it sucks that they aren't shipping here. V for Vendetta SteelBook is amazing btw

[Thomas Balkcom]

Yeah, it fucking rules and totally worth $35 or whatever I spent on it, haha.

I thought I had my hands on a fucking X3 SteelBook for MSRP dude..but I was duped. Fucking Best Buy. =(

Fucking Best Buy indeed, and yeah it is definitely worth $35 dollars.

[Thomas Balkcom]

Getting the Dario Argento Collection and Ultimate Texas Chainsaw Massacre for Christmas. Two VERY long overdue SteelBook's being added to my collection..SOOO excited.

I didn't even know about this, I just googled it and it looks fantastic, where are you getting it from?

[Thomas Balkcom]

Wherever my mom/aunt gets it, haha. It is one of the only things on my "list". They have it everywhere and I'm a huge Argento fan. I have two of them already on DVD but the set is way too good to pass up.

$23.99 on Amazon right now. 5-disc set:

After looking at all the different exclusives offered by basically anyone who sells DVD's, I think I've decided to go with this one:

[Recovery Room]

Someone post all the DVD/Blu-Ray Dark Knight packages/offers and where they will be available.

[Adeniz19]

In September, it was announced that Warner Bros. Pictures was planning to rerelease The Dark Knight (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=15813) in theaters in January. We have learned that is no longer the case.

Warner Bros. Pictures domestic distribution president Dan Fellman had acknowledged in September that talks were taking place with IMAX executives (http://www.superherohype.com/news/batmannews.php?id=7859#) about the prospect of restoring the film to some number of giant-screen venues in January. It was uncertain whether The Dark Knight (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=15813) would also reappear in conventional theaters.

[Adeniz19]

Someone post all the DVD/Blu-Ray Dark Knight packages/offers and where they will be available.
Not only will MANY stores be doing a Midnight Opening, but also, there are NINE different versions of the film released that day. This is what Best Buy will be carrying...

Dark Knight: Widescreen Version

Dark Knight: Special Edition

Dark Knight: Special Edition (w/ Batman Mask)
BEST BUY EXCLUSIVE

Dark Knight: Special Edition (w/ Clown Mask)

Maybe he'd be interested in the exclusive "BatEars" from Hollywood Video :shrug:

Also, for anyone who's interested they have that Batman Mask DVD case available for the standard version too. So it's not exclusive for Blu-ray.

[Timetoroll]

Can't wait for the DVD release, the movie re-release, and to see what it gets nominated for. If TDK gets a nom for best picture, I'm going streaking.
Haha, wow. Don't think that I'll go for that, but something much like it. If Wall-E beats out The Dark Knight for best picture, I'll kill though.

[donwagenblast]

Wall-E for best picture? Really? i haven't seen it

I'm not sure what you're speculating. If you're simply hoping TDK will be released on Blu-Ray in the US, no worries. That's a given. If, however, you're hoping for this specific packaging...not sure.

Warner Bros. upcoming “The Dark Knight” Blu-ray title will be the company’s first release to include Internet enabled interactive features exclusive to the Blu-ray format. According to Warner Bros. owners of “The Dark Knight” will be able to host their own Live Community Screenings with friends, record, and post user-generated commentaries over the film using My WB Commentary, access additional exclusive content on Warner Bros. BD-Live, get sneak peeks, and trailers of upcoming films, create an online library of Blu-ray movies, manage a wish list for upcoming releases, and connect to the WB store.
