Not my place to comment buddy. I won this in a competition. I didn't even like the movie. Probably not going to watch it.

That's because people, incorrectly, thought there would be 2 different books...when there is only the 1 lenticular cover.

So is the US set of the cowl the only one that is numbered?

I hope so!

Who knows if it is. I know the pics would suggest that, but I don't think Warner has explicitly written that it's a numbered edition, and with as little as 35K you'd think they would.

I thought someone posted a picture of this set with a number on the front? Perhaps it was early concept art?

A stock pic, or actual in-hand pic? They do show the numbering in stock pics with an edition of 35K but that appears to be the only proof there is at the moment. The Warner press release doesn't mention any numbering. It could certainly be numbered, and limited to that amount considering they're sold out from Amazon, and other retailers

It was definitely a stock pic, not in hand.

Ah, that is a promising sign

Yeah, plus you can do a google search on it, and most of the pics have, what appears to be, a sticker in the lower left corner reading 00001 of 35000.
Even looks like a holofoil sticker, typically, used for numbering.
Obviously not a dealbreaker for me, but it would be nice to see it included.

Has there been a US cowl unboxing posted yet?

The Upgrade & Save and the $5 coupon lessened the blow on that.

It will probably drop for Christmas week, but I don't know if I can wait that long for DKR. I have other blus I haven't gotten to yet if I decide to hold off. Prices have been dropping fast.

I'm not buying Expendables 2, Resident Evil 5, or Dredd until they hit at least 9.99. Skyfall...I'm not sure.

how sturdy is the cowl?...is it fragile/easily breakable or is it solid?

[faglun]

Does the cowl feel cheap ?

It is real Sturdy. A lot better than it looked on the pre-order shots. Thin bits of plastic are strong. I would say it is not easy to break.

I would say a fair effort. Not as good as the Alien or Watchmen collectables. However not as cheap as some I've seen. It has a good weight and feel and look to it.

Thanks for the info though!

BB was released on blu-ray in July 2008, just prior to the theatrical release of TDK. I trust Nolan to release the best possible product. Considering that it was released in 2005, and that they were released 6 months apart, BB and TDK are pretty comperable in quality. I don't see a need for a remaster right now. Just my two cents/opinion.

so i just ordered the steelbook version from bestbuy and got the Dark Knight Reborn exclusive but don't plan on watching it/ using the redeemable code. if anybody wants it pm and I'll sell it to you.

That was almost unbelievable. Call me a jingoistic son-of-a-biscuit-eater, but I never would've thought there could be so many special editions - fabulous!

Okay, I don't get out much. Is it rude to ask what Ta Dono means or where it's from or whatever?

Awesome shot!! The Cowl is very well detailed I'm assuming it's plastic, correct??
