My Spanish is pretty rusty, but I would've translated "Caballero Oscuro" literally, to "hidden horseman."

Re: The Dark Knight Specs

Much of that sounds like the personal bonus disc I made for myself, including those History Channel specials and the Gotham Tonight newscasts. Very interesting.

Re: The Dark Knight Specs

Anyone think Warner would skimp on what could possibly the biggest title ever to hit DVD or Blu-ray, and not put TrueHD audio?

Re: The Dark Knight Specs

It's their biggest grossing film of the year, hands down, and will sell like hotcakes on BD. I seriously doubt this won't include lossless.

Warner may have been stupid with leaving lossless audio on some sub par movies, but they are not idiots.

Re: The Dark Knight Specs

I find it a bit odd that Warner announced the "I Am Legend" re-release already but not TDK, and they both come out on DVD/BD the same day.

That is of course if the apparent December 9 release date is true.

Re: The Dark Knight Specs

Personally, I'd be a little disappointed if the lion's share of bonus features ended up being those specials from The History Channel. I'm much more interested in seeing a documentary about the actual making of TDK with insight on the production from cast and crew. Hopefully that report isn't true and those are not the actual special features on the Blu-Ray/DVD.

Re: The Dark Knight Specs

With a Dec 16th release I'd be surprised if they don't officially announce the specs in the next week or two. I'm itching to pre-order this on Warners site.

I'm also hoping the Burton films get announced the same time.

Re: The Dark Knight Specs

Now it's December 16?

That's no good.

It's a shame it isn't October instead, just like Batman Begins and the Anthology.

Re: The Dark Knight Specs

Are you sure that it won't feature a nice, juicy Dolby Digital 5.1 track? This isn't just any studio. We're talking Warner, here.


Sorry, I couldn't help it. I'm a sarcastic ass.

Primary translation of caballero is gentlemen. However, it also could mean knight, I just found out.

Oscuro is dark.

If this doesn't offer lossless audio, I will strip naked and kiss a pigs ass in the town square.

Warners lack of lossless audio on some releases seems to be more of a practical issue than anything else. Knowing that some of their releases will have to be on BD25 (because of limited BD50 reproduction ability) They have to decide if picture quality will suffer to include lossless audio. They seem to have chosen picture quality in these instances.

They have to save their BD50 slots for their really big films, Speed Racer isn't one of those, but The Dark Knight is.

Re: The Dark Knight Specs

If this cover is real then those specs that were originally posted are indeed correct. The special features are VERY disappointing(no need to see those History Channel docs again), but the movie was so damn good that I can forgive the lack of good bonus material. Shame there isn't a tribute to Ledger or anything that focuses on his brilliant work in the film.

Re: The Dark Knight Specs

Special features "May be in High Definition"

"Audio standards may vary"

Never has a cover showed such uncertainty in its specs, because whoever made it DOESN'T KNOW and had to guess!

No mention of the shifting IMAX/anamorphic AR, no mention of BD-Live...

Batman Begins, along with all WB titles go into detail and name every extra, whereas this doesn't do that at all.

And you think this cover is real?

You must be JOKING.



At least this mentions IMAX and BD-Live:

Re: The Dark Knight Specs

So, I read on TheDigitalBits.com that the BD of The Dark Knight will be the IMAX version... "For the Blu-ray Disc however, while most of the film will also be presented in the 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen ratio, the scenes that were specifically shot in IMAX format will be presented at 1.78:1, which will fill the frame and will thus recreate the IMAX experience at home. This is not via seamless branching (you can't turn it off)."
Why does this bother me? Because I zoom the 2.40:1 image from my projector to fill my 2.35:1 screen. The 1.78:1 image will be outside of my screen dimensions. This sucks for me and anybody else with this screen setup. I will probably have to settle for the SD version of this movie!

This should have been done by seamless branching....
