my first ever blu ray purchase has been the dark knight...on preorder so should be getting it tomorrow morning...

these are the movies that blu ray was designed 4...

This is my first BD movie too :D I can't wait to get it :)

Mmmm, can't wait to curl up with Dark Knight on blu-ray after 2 finals and forget for a few hours that I should be studying for the other 2.

I'll toast to that.

Oh man, you too. Cheers to you.

The Dark Knight, ftw.

Is The Dark Knight a good movie or something?

Apparently. I hear it's supposed to be a Batman movie. Not too sure tho.

Batman? Is that a new superhero?

waaaaaa

how could you not know that its a batman movie?

and Tez...how the hell could you not know who batman is??? lol

Probably the same way that you could not know what joking or sarcasm are...

Dumb and Dumber...in HD. How ridiculous....something's we just don't need to see more definition of.

Dark Knight indeed....it'd be worth it in HD (can't say as much for the prequel). Guess I'm going to have to go back on my promise to refuse Blu-ray purchases....

haha i said the same thing when that all started... i've since only gotten 300 (and Dark Knight), so I'm doing pretty well!

Every movie should be released on the high-definition medium no matter how good or bad it is. If the movie is getting a huge picture upgrade and coming with lossless audio, it should be a definite purchase. I'm getting both the Dark Knight and Dumb and Dumber this week, along with Tommy Boy next week. If you love the movie, buy it, but everything should get a transfer to blu-ray.

Anyone know if there is going to be a Batman Begins/Dark Knight dual pack bundle?

I'm there will be eventually. Whenever WB decides to milk you for more money.

We have one over here in the UK...I have it on pre-order in fact, but hasn't been dispatched yet so should be here in a few days. TBH though its not that much better of a deal, only like £3 cheaper or something (~$4.5US I think), and considering it costs ~£28 for the pack. Surprised there isn't one over there (or maybe you just havn't found it :p)

I'm starting to think I'm the only one on this planet who didn't like the dark knight. Joker just felt too much like a thug and not much like anything special to me.

I didn't care for it either. Thought it was okay.

Same here. I fully expected to like the movie, but for some reason, I thought it was good, but not great. And I'm really not seized by the desire to see it again.

Maybe I've gotten too used to the original animated Batman series by Bruce Timm and gang. That felt much more like Batman to me.

I completely agree. Ledger's performance wasn't what I expected it to be and came across very thin and like a 30's gangster. Bale's performance made me piss myself laughing in the theater with his obnoxious voice. They could've left out the section of the movie where he goes to Tokyo, it was completely irrelevant. What was with all of the huge sweeping panaramic shots of the city? Yes, now we all now it takes place in Chicago. What happened to the Gotham from the first movie and the big rail line that was destroyed? When they couldn't figure out who the Joker was because he didn't have ID or fingerprints, why didn't they just wash his face?! Or when they blamed Batman for the crimes Harvey Dent did so the people would still think he was their "White Knight," why didn't they blame the Joker? He was killing people the whole movie! They couldn't blame a few more things on him?

Yes, I thought the movie was ridiculous.

@ Barndo111

The large sweeping city-scapes, were there for the many people including myself that saw the movie at the IMAX. While nothing was very spectacular I would assume on the normal screen, on the IMAX it was very cool and you felt like you were flying off the edge of a building with Batman.

I have this preordered on amazon, and just picked up Step Brothers, The Shining and Swordfish, for cheap!

Same here, i thought it was more wierd and stupid than anything, and god did it go on and on.

He had like, what, 50 chances to kill the joker?
And that stupid voice, GAH!

No way! I am not in any bit or way a Batman fan, and hated the other movies to be honest.

But this movie was just.. good. People died (I hate movies where the good guys never die or turn bad. It's just stupid). Joker was just wickedly awesome and fantastic. Batman was annoying but eh, what can you do?

Batman doesn't kill people based on some principle where good doesn't kill bad blah blah - hence why he doesn't kill the joker given the chance.

If you don't have his ID, why would washing his face help? You don't actually know who he is still unless he is a high-profile person.

And honestly, you're debating about small things like realism and continuity? Do you hate 300? (Terrible movie, I abhor it), Wall-E? Pretty much every movie as every single one has some flaw or something that doesn't make perfect sense or has some cinematic problem? Bleh. :P

JoeTheBlow,
Batman never intended to 'kill' the joker. He captures bad guys, he doesn't 'kill' them. Just like The Joker doesn't intend to kill Batman, he just likes the thrill of Batman existing.

I agree on the whole "Batman in Tokyo" thing. It was completely pointless. Good thing he went right back to Metropolis after all of that nonsense was over.

Hooray, The Mask!

oh slap me like a bitch the dark knight is finaly here!!!

$30 for a movie is ridiculous. I paid $600 for my ps3 and I didn't even get an HDMI cable with it. Then the cable is $60 bucks plus a $30 blu-ray movie which ends up being $690, not including tax. And I thought MS was cheap, sony is my new "ripoff" company.

dont buy it then! and carry on!

Did you recall going to the store at gunpoint when you bought your ps3 cheap bastard?

Why ppl complain about Blue-ray movies if you think are expensive, don't buy it simple as that!!! you probably dont even own a ps3 piss of shit...

hit up monoprice.com... you don't need to pay $60 for an HDMI cable.

If you paid $60 for an HDMi cable, then congratulations, because you just gained access to the Oblivious Consumer Club!

Seriously though, there are HDMi cables around $10-$15 (decent length) and they get you the exact same thing as those 'fancy' ones.

30 for a bluray?
If you're a smart shopper, you can get it for ~23.
HDMI cable are around 12.

If you bought your PS3 for 600 dollars, I'm guessing you bought it a long time ago. Like, 2 years ago. So... if you are just finding out that its 30 bucks for a blu-ray, I'm guessing you didn't buy a PS3 for blu-ray... you bought it for games... since you've had a PS3 for 2 years. Since you bought your PS3 for games, I would say 500 dollars were put into gaming... when you bought a blu ray player for 100 dollars. If you were smart, you could have bought an HDMI for 12 bucks, and blu-ray for 20 bucks.

There we go, and I thought spongebob was retarded... oh well... .your my new icon for retardedness.

One look at your comments, and I know you're a troll. Carry on.

I got my HDMI for $5 off of Ecost.com, not that I needed it though... When we switched to Direct tv (HD) the guy gave us 4 HDMI cables for free... lol! At least you did not do as bad as my grandpa and pay $90 for a cord.
Also, if you are a SUPER smart shopper, you may be able to find Blu-Ray movies for as low as $16.

My 2 cents.
Dark Knight Blu-Ray=MINE!!!!

It's called not buying at retail and taking a little bit of time to shop around.

see monoprice for $4 HDMI cables and amazon/other online retailers for TDK.

i only payed $10 for my HDMI cable, and you can buy TDK on amazon for $24

Yes you did get ripped off. $60 for an HDMI cable??? that is a rip off, I got mine for $10. As for the PS3, I do not think it is.

"wha..what happen did yo balls fall off"

LOL i love that scene

Well, I loved the Dark Knight, but I am far more excited for Lost.

What a great way to decompress from freaking Pharmacology over Winter break.

already pre-ordered dark knight like 1 month ago! woohoo!

anyone know who is selling the one with the joker cover? please... i must have it

As far as I understand the batman cover is a cardboard slip and the Joker is on the actual case. That's what all the pictures I've seen have shown.

well, i wouldnt say its JUST the cardboard case, the plastic case would...PROBABLY *cough* definitely, be under the cardboard

HAHA you paid 60 bucks for an HDMI cable

I was soo excited for dark knight. My ps3 decided to rlod (yes it exists) yesterday. now im stuck talking to amex for a warranty cause i bought a launch ps3. I am angry. very very angry.

Is it not the YLOD?
All thank Xbox 360 for the "of Death" Phrase. MS should copyright it... Coin it as the phrase for their next system... "Xbox 720, FINALLY RRoD free!" Excluding the fact that they put new color of light in (like purple) to say its broke...
