I still would've wanted GNN to chronicle the events of the movie. They would begin with a report on the Uzbekistan Plane Hijacking and end with Batman's Legacy.

Last night Warner Bros. announced a limited edition The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray combo pack which features a broken Bat-cowl. Today, we have a lot more details thanks to a very detailed press release. The Dark Knight Rises will be available on Blu-ray, DVD, digital download, and VOD on December 4th. Warner Bros. will be releasing a special The Dark Knight Rises companion app for iOS and Android which will sync with the Blu-ray disc via BD-Live for even more exclusive bonus content. Fans who purchase the Blu-ray will be happy to know that it features nearly one hour of IMAX footage, and it’ll fill your screen just like The Dark Knight Blu-ray.

Additionally on December 4th, Warner Bros. will be releasing “The Dark Knight Trilogy Limited Edition Giftset” featuring Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises all in one collection on Blu-ray and DVD. The trilogy giftset will also include a premium book exclusive to the collection. Warner Bros. also plans to release “The Dark Knight Trilogy Ultimate Collector’s Edition” in 2013.

There is so much more content included in the Blu-ray release, check out the full press release after the break for all the details!


Burbank, CA – “The Dark Knight Rises” arrives this holiday season onto Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital Download on December 4 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group. In the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, Gotham City is threatened by the masked terrorist Bane, forcing Batman to return from an eight-year absence and fight for his city one more time.

Also available will be the free “The Dark Knight Rises” app for IOS 5.0 or higher compatible devices including iPhone and iPad, and Samsung Galaxy devices including S2, S3, Note, Nexus and Tab (operating system requirements vary by device). Building upon the already available “TDKR: Gotham City’s Most Wanted” app, “The Dark Knight Rises” app will be updated in two phases. The first update, which will be available in late October, will include several interactive activities such as a photo application that will allow users to put themselves into a Tumbler, a video application that will allow users to insert a Tumbler into their personal videos, and more. The second update, which will be available on December 4, will integrate second screen functionality into the app. It will allow users to sync compatible mobile devices with the Blu-ray disc via BD-Live enabled Blu-ray players connected to the same Local Area Network to access exclusive bonus content. The bonus content will include film location information, Gotham City maps, film trivia, photo galleries and “making of” featurettes. In addition, the second screen app controls playback of the film on your TV via Blu-ray player. “The Dark Knight Rises” app will be available through the iTunes store and Google Play.

“The Dark Knight Rises” will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack for $35.99 and on single disc DVD for $28.98. The Blu-ray Combo Pack features the film in hi-definition on Blu-ray and in standard definition on DVD. “The Dark Knight Rises” Blu-ray disc takes advantage of the marriage of IMAX® and 35mm formats by using the hybrid master to replicate the unique theatrical experience of integrated film formats. Both the Blu-ray Combo Pack and the single disc DVD include UltraViolet which allows consumers to download and instantly stream the standard definition version of the film to a wide range of devices including computers and compatible tablets, smartphones, game consoles, Internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray players.*

Also available December 4, just in time for holiday gift-giving, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release “The Dark Knight Trilogy Limited Edition Giftset,” featuring “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises” all in one collection. Available on Blu-ray or standard definition DVD, “The Dark Knight Trilogy Limited Edition Giftset” will also include a premium book exclusive to the collection, which takes fans deeper into the epic franchise, as well as existing special features. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment also plans to release “The Dark Knight Trilogy Ultimate Collector’s Edition” in 2013.

Leading an all-star international cast, Oscar® winner Christian Bale (“The Fighter”) again plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. “The Dark Knight Rises” also stars Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy as Bane; Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard (“La Vie en Rose”) as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake. Returning to the main cast, Oscar® winner Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”) plays Alfred; Gary Oldman is Commissioner Gordon; and Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”) reprises the role of Lucius Fox.

The screenplay is written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven, who previously teamed on “Batman Begins” and the record-breaking blockbuster “The Dark Knight.” The executive producers are Benjamin Melniker; Michael E. Uslan; Kevin De La Noy; Thomas Tull; with Jordan Goldberg serving as co-producer. The film is based upon characters created by Bob Kane and published by DC Comics.

SYNOPSIS

It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act.

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.

Yeah, I'm definitely waiting for the Ultimate Collector's Edition. Might still give in and pick up TDKR on Blu-ray, but the whole trilogy will have to wait.

I doubt I'll pick up the Trilogy set. Without new transfers for the first two films, can't say I'm willing to give WB my money. Fantastic news about how they're handeling the transfer for TDKR. Hopefully it's done right.

The industry continues to piss me off by making us pay extra because they force the freakin' DVD on us Blu-ray people. If I wanted to watch a DVD, I never would have bought a Blu-ray player. Ugh.

OK, that rant aside, I can't wait for December 4! Now if I could only find the funds to update my sound system...

You're not paying any extra. The flat price for new Blu-ray releases in-store by the time they are actually released drops to $25. This is true for single BD's and BD/DVD combo editions. The only real exception to this general rule is remasters of older films, or single disc releases, which considering that TDKR will likely take up 40 GB of the disc, including any kind of extras worth having isn't really possible on a single disc.
