The Dark Knight Rises on Blu-ray and DVD
« on: Oct 02, 2012 at 03:01 AM »
It's official, Dec. 4th is the release date of The Dark Knight Rises in both BD and DVD. I'm mostly looking forward to the Bat cowl package version ;D I remeber during The Dark Knight DVD release in 2008, I pre-ordered the Batpod edition from Astro...I wonder if they or Odyssey woud have the same promo this time 4 years later  ::)

Naku sir, kung maganda TV nyo tapos DVD kukunin mo baka malungkot lang kayo. Yung The Dark Knight DVD napaka-pangit nung video -- parang VCD ang dating. Baka ganun rin ang gawin nila sa DVD release nito.

Note also that as per the R1 release details, the only extra material on the DVD will be a "Journey of Bruce Wayne" behind the scenes featurette. As is the norm now, the bulk of the special features will be Blu-Ray exclusives.

OT: Kaunting ipon lang yan, bro. Kaya mo siguro yan. Ako, isa't kalahating taon na pag-iipon para lang makabili ng LCd at BD player. Ok lang kasi sa ganung katagal hindi naapekto yung finances ko. Worth it talaga.

I found out today that The Dark Knight trilogy will be released locally on 11/28 and they already started pre-booking with options as follows:

TDK trilogy BD w/ free tumbler
TDK trilogy DVD w/ free journal

Sadly, no broken bat cowl package. But then again this was for the trilogy and not the TDKR movie. Still looking forward to TDK trilogy DVD IF it wil feature a 2disc TDKR with bonus features as close to the BD.

The devil in in the details.  And the poster didn't mention how much...  Given that local distributors often charge unreasonable pricing, I will without pre-booking until the details out. 

Note that Batman Begins and TDK are already discounted titles (and most Batman movie fans probably had it in their library) so only the third titles is the premium one.  And based on the photo , the tumbler seems ordinary, the Journal looks better (but still not special), but not worth it if the price is too high. 

Will await more details before deciding to buy or not...

The BD offer looks reasonable depending on whatever promo item is included with it. Otherwise, it's way overpriced considering the US version alone costs just a little over a thousand.

I hope the TDKR release has a lenticular 3D slipcover like the US release.

got my preordered TDK Trilogy gift set w/ free journal yesterday...also bought TDKR 2disc DVD separately - here are my initial thoughts after unwrapping the items:

- box set is sturdy w/ lenticular front cover featuring all color themes from the trilogy + a nice embossed TDKR logo at the back with removable print/flap containing the summary for each movie

- free journal was made in China, smaller in size

- the box set and the 2disc TDKR are both manufactured in Hongkong

- disc holder on the box set is more secured and is slightly different than regular amarays

- internal art on the boxset features The Batman on his Bat-pod, nothing more...sadly, no detailed notes on the special features*

- the actual discs on the box set have different prints than the individual movie discs

I will have a grand marathon over the weekend. In conclusion, the set was worth the price and I was also impressed that we got all the special features of TDKR 2disc on DVD, considering how we only get barebone discs locally these days in favor of BD

*rumor has it that an Ultimate Collector's Edition is in the works with Chris Nolan's commentary on all films in the trilogy!  absolutely gonna look forward to that next year :o

I bought the TDKR 2 Disc DVD. The special features are okay. I guess I really have to upgrade into BD

Concerning the packaging:  The DVD Trilogy comes with lenticular slipcase while the Bluray does not.  The DVD looks much cooler, in terms of packaging...

Rent this before my urge to buy. WOW is the word for almost everything in it.  ;)

How is the PQ of the DVD release?

PQ is good enough, but no IMAX sequences (boo).
Gone are the digital anomalies of the 2008 DVD of The Dark Knight.

SQ is great.

I'll be getting this on Blu-ray instead.

These pics from AMAZON UK are very similar to the local release:



The cover is lenticular with images that of the two halves shown in the photo above.

The artbook is very nice but is shorter and narrower than the case, so to compensate, they put two pieces of styrofoam to make it fit.  Not an elegant solution, but oh well...  The slipcase is very thick and sturdy, the type they don't use locally anymore... 

The digibook uses a new type of crystal case to lock the discs. You press it downward from the edge (not the top).  I don't like it.  The discs seems to get loose very easily.  The copy I bought has two loose discs.  Luckily, they are not scratched.

The Bluray is again almost like the UK one:



Cover is embrossed with silver bat logo, but not lenticular.  Not as cool as the DVD case.  The artbook is similar in size to the DVD one, the artbook now fit snugly in terms of height but is still narrower in terms of width.  Again, styrofoam to the rescue...

The artbook is similar (for both DVD and Bluray) if I am not wrong, but I can't say 100% as I only bought the DVD.

The Trilogy price of the DVD is very reasonable, that of the Bluray is debatable...
