This is actually a great idea. You can choose to view "The Blu-ray IMAX experience", or the standard, 2.35:1 throughout version that was released to most theaters.

I'm still learning the BD terms so what is Blu-ray Live?

I made a mistake- actually, it's this very informative article:

Marrying IMAX and 35mm in The Dark Knight | Studio Daily

- that mentions the "center slice", not the American Cinematographer piece.

Re: Blu Ray rumors about The Dark Knight release

I am willing to bet that if there is a big push on Blu-ray this Christmas then Batman: The Dark Knight will be released. The movie was a huge hit and is making tons of cash IMHO it would be a smart move to release it in time for the holiday season.

There's a Blu-ray release, no question about it. The director has specifically mentioned it. The chance of that release being after Christmas is so infinitesimal to be essentially impossible. From what I hear, the only question is to release the week of Black Friday or slightly later.

Way back in mid-April, still several months before The Dark Knight would begin its domination at the box office, we published a report regarding the film's future on Blu-ray Disc. More specifically, the report predicted a December 9 release date.

We've now received word from our trusty friends over at HDAddicts.com that Warner is indeed planning to release The Dark Knight December 9 on Blu-ray Disc per an early retailer sales sheet.

Obviously Warner has not officially announced The Dark Knight coming Blu-ray and anything can and sometimes does change.

As of right now it's looking pretty good that The Dark Knight is prepared to land on December 9 and cap off what should be a strong holiday sales season for the Blu-ray Disc format.

We'll pass along the official Warner announcement and all related goodies like disc specs and cover art immediately upon receipt.
