Photochemically finished films of 35 millimeters have at least 6K resolution, IMAX films upwards of 18K, and so as home video formats keep evolving, 4K — particularly with HDR — allows us to give somebody in the home an experience that’s much much closer to what it was like to see the original film prints as projected on film,” the director told BadTaste.it. (See the YouTube interview here). 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 assaults 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with an impressive HEVC / H.265 encoded 2160p transfer. The UHD Blu-ray was reviewed on a Samsung UE55KS8000 Ultra HD TV and a Samsung UBD-K8500 Ultra HD Blu-ray player. Batman – The Journey Begins: Concept, design and development of the film as well as the casting of Batman himself. 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.

The Dark Knight Trilogy comes to Ultra HD Blu-ray from Warner Brothers Home Entertainment featuring 2160pHEVC encoded video and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 3.5 Mbps. 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.
