Worse are the full-length segments of the faux tabloid news show “Gotham Tonight,” featuring Anthony Michael Hall. While they’re interesting in context to the film’s narrative (and Hall’s not bad), they don’t offer much for cinephiles or Batfanatics in regards to how the film was accomplished and the impact it is already starting to have in cinema and fan circles. Nolan created a phenomenon in the summer of 2008 and that is something that bears more focus than the features offered here. Still Galleries also feature the amazing concept art and fantastic PR materials that preceded the film’s release as well as Theatrical and TV trailer spots in from the film in full HD (1 teaser, 2 trailers, and a few TV spots) that are impressive in look and execution. Conclusion The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises utilizes two different aspect ratios, 2.40:1 and 1.78:1, to incorporate the sequences that were shot using IMAX cameras. Both have been integrated here with some scenes/sequences having one AR and the next the other. The result doesn’t infringe upon fidelity or interrupt the visual flow of the movie. from an interpositive, at Christopher Nolan's express instruction and contrary to Warner's standard policy, which provides that 4K scans should utilize

Batman Begins doesn’t have quite the definitive visual pop of The Dark Knight and the Dark Knight Rises. Much of that is owed to the original source elements, and the fact that is doesn’t incorporate the IMAX footage. This isn’t a shortcoming, and in most respects, it holds it own quite well. The sequences that take place in and around the temple look terrific, offering beautifully rendered color, excellent reproduction of shadow detail, and eye catching specular highlights (during the explosive battle between Bruce and the members of the League of Shadows). Later, during the final act when Gotham is under siege and Batman intervenes with the help Rachel and Jim, the sepia toned shots of misty, nighttime Gotham, set against the various pyrotechnics associated with the battle/runaway train are the among the presentation’s highlights. Primary audio on the 4K disc is included in another new English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio mix that’s of excellent quality and appears to be a slight improvement upon the previous Blu-ray’s already reference-grade Dolby TrueHD presentation. As with Batman Begins, it offers a big, full soundstage, with excellent dialogue clarity, robust bass, smooth and natural panning, and strong atmospherics. The LFE, if anything, is just a bit more muscular here than before, while the mix’s dynamic range appears to have expanded a bit, both characteristics that further enhance the creeping tension of Hans Zimmer’s nervous and edgy score. Additional audio options include French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Thai 5.1 Dolby Digital, with optional subtitles in English for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, French, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and Thai. presentation.

The only question remaining is which Batman does Gotham want: A dark vigilante protecting them from terror? A useful myth on which to pin their own fears and darkest hatreds?

And it’s true. We first popped in the 1080p Blu-ray of The Dark Knight to compare to the new 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray release and it renders far superior color range. The darker areas and shadows have a ton more detail, and, there is much more contrast between light and dark areas. Of course, make sure your TV is set to cinema mode and not one of those fake, color-enhancing modes that make films look more like cheap TV shows than the multi-million dollar productions they are. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.

Other than that, I found these Ultra HD renderings to be excellent, delivering a nuanced, and at times captivating, visual experience that thoroughly accentuated both the source elements, and thematic impact of watching The Dark Knight Trilogy. It goes without saying that these Ultra HD releases are a must have for your Blu-ray collection. I eagerly awaited Christopher Nolan’s final installment and hoped that it would befit and compliment the first two in the series. The Dark Knight would be difficult to live up to for a variety of reasons, but as a fan I had hopes. I went to see The Dark Knight Rises with my son who is a very big fan. My reaction to it wasn’t as enthusiastic as it was with its predecessor. I found the script to be slightly uneven and overlong as it dealt with Bruce’s excursion to the pit while he sorted out the true meaning of life, death and that conquering fear alone wasn’t enough if he was going to rise from the remains left of him by the indomitable Bane. I also found the final showdown between Bane and Batman to be anticlimactic, and disappointing, which wasn’t helped by the rather conventional plot twist that I saw coming.
