If they continue to invest in steelbooks, then who knows what cool things are in the future.

See, now you have to look at it this way. NOBODY ANYWHERE has released a nice complete matching set for this franchise yet. That is what's pissing me off about this scenario.

If Zavvi was smart (and one would think that it was the case considering their efforts with the upcoming Indiana Jones artwork), they would pick a theme and stick with it. They would use either B&W or colour for all 3, not one in colour and one in B&W. Then, they would put Bane's face on the cover of TDKR in the same manner as the previous titles in the franchise. THAT would be the best way to approach these releases.

The closest thing we have to a complete matching set right now are the North American steelbooks. Batman Begins and TDK work really well together. TDKR is decent, but doesn't really "match" and fit in with the other two even though it looks "ok" when all are placed side-by-side.
