Making its ploy for your holiday season gift lists is The Dark Knight, which will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on December 9, 2008.

I can’t help saying that this is a great movie! I bought HD DVD from the local store, and use some software named DVDSmith Movie Backup and Any DVD Converter to transfer it to my iPod for sharing with my BF, and we enjoyed it so much!
I’ve got to say, this is the first movie in a long time that I had to watch twice. I watched the standard version first, then went all out on the IMAX experience. Totally Blown Away!
This was an easy add to my library.
I have loved batman for all of my life. When I was little, after every doctor’s office visit my mother would take me to WalMart/ Target and buy me a batman action figure. My whole family has been obsessed with batman for years. It was the opening night we saw Batman Begins, and it was the second night after opening we saw The Dark Knight. I am more than impressed and glorified that someone, this wonderful writing team and director (Nolan) has brought this wonderful character justice. Christian Bale is extraordinarily awesome as batman, Heath ledger blew everyone’s mind away, and Aaron Eckhart stunned us. I would love for there to be one more movie, to complete a trilogy, because you can’t throw such a great opportunity, such a wonderful story/dramatic comic book hero away.
Um, how is it I walked into Kim’s Video in NYC and bought a legitimate copy on Sat Nov 22? It’s the real thing as they are a very famous legit DVD store - emobossed packaging, shrink wrapped, code for the digital copy, exactly as it’s been advertised.. Weird.
there better be an extended version or a directors cut(unrated)
Yes, The Dark Night is one of the greatest if not the best movies of all time. R.I.P Heath Ledger

The only people that should buy this DVD are those who have eyes. Everyone buy this freakin movie!! R.I.P. Heath Ledger, you are truly missed.
So the Blu-Ray set doesn’t come with the IMAX framed scenes? lame
AWESOME!!!!!!!
this movie kicked ass biaaaatch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
some parts in the film were a big let down, but overall it is an outstanding movie.
there is not as many special features as I/fans would like, unless there will be an extended edition, I hope?
The day i walk up to the DVD play machine in Dominick’s off of Sheffield and Fullerton at Depaul and see this choice vs “le crap” thats playing will be nice!
The Dark Knight - Batman VS Joker - Some say this is the best movie ever, some say this is the best comic based movie ever, I don’t know, I liked the film, the best one i’ve seen, I think. JOKER WAS AWSOME
WHY SO SERIOUS?!?!?!
