As the holiday season approaches, Warner Home Video rolls out the first of its “big box o’ stuff” collector’s editions, with more scheduled to follow. Not surprisingly, this iteration for the Dark Knight Trilogy has its share of interesting and mundane bonus items, depending on one’s interests. But ultimately, few outside of the die hard Batman collector will see the product as a “must have,” especially considering five of the six discs are mere re-pressings of prior releases.Given the already extensive coverage of the Dark Knight films, this review draws on previous HTF articles on the Dark Knight Blu-ray releases – Michael Osadciw’s write-up on Batman Begins, my evaluation of The Dark Knight, and Ken McAlinden’s piece on The Dark Knight Rises. For the sake of brevity, I’ve chosen not to do a wholesale import of their content into this review, instead including selected comments. Those looking for complete evaluations should follow the links to the full reviews.
