Color Differences

Christopher Nolan's 2008 mega success about Batman's attempts to defeat a criminal mastermind known only as the Joker.

Anyone else disappointed that the color doesn't look as good on the Blu-Ray or DVD versions of The Dark Knight compared to the HD trailers released?

The film has lost most of its lush color temperatures and now all looks fairly neutral. :(

Huh, that's odd. Was the film print like that?

It was so long ago that I don't even remember.

That's a very noticeable difference. Is this for all Blu-Ray's? Because I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have the second image's colouring :crazy:

Is there any way you could take a screencap?

I tried the Blu-Ray on my TV and DVD on my computer and they both didn't have the blue tint.

I just checked mine and it definitely has the correct colouring. It must be a problem with your disc.

Is there any way those of you saying yours looks like the trailer can post a screencap? Apparently this color thing is supposedly on all copies.
