The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray release "Limited and Collectors Edition"

[NickMate]

From EW (Entertainment Weekly)

Holy smokes, Batman. The rumors, speculation and general chit-chat can be put to rest.
Christopher Nolan’s Batman epic The Dark Knight Rises will be released on Blu-ray combo pack, DVD, and digital download on Dec. 4, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group announced exclusively to EW.

The last film in Nolan’s dark, gritty Gotham City trilogy, starring Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, and Tom Hardy as brutal villain Bane, will also be available in a limited edition Blu-ray Bat Cowl collectible package — not quite in time for your Halloween costume, but there’s always next year.
The Blu-ray combo pack is stuffed with a bunch of extras, from a documentary about the Batmobile, where all five Batmobiles are together for the first time, to Ending the Knight, an] in-depth look featuring about 17 featurettes at how Nolan and his production team made The Dark Knight Rises, from Batman vs. Bane to totally demolishing a city street. Both the Blu-ray and DVD include a featurette called The Journey of Bruce Wayne.

There are also trailers and art galleries.
Check out these exclusive pics of the packaging and the cowl, below.

Either it's the same retailer that had the The Dark Knight "batpod" or it's exclusive to Warner Bros online store like the Inception "briefcase".

[blufellas]

I'm in for one.

[shinseiRomeo]

I suspect it's limited to 50,000 in the US based on the images shown above. It may be like the Titanic set though, everyone gets it. I hope we get a local release in Australia, already got the Amazing Spider-Man one

[paulsandhu]

I wonder how big this will be? It looks like it will be the same size as the TDK Bat-Pod edition.

[NickMate]

It looks to be around 23cm long, 17cm high and 15cm wide. Just estimates based on sticker size though, would be amazing if I was spot on

[ObiWanandonly]

This might hold me over until the delayed Avengers set gets worked out. Is there a word on price yet?

[iwanttobeabmoviestar]

there is also mention of a "Ultimate trilogy set " in 2013 here
