The Dark Knight Rises - Which version are you going to get?

[kashif]

I know there is a thread already for TDKR discussions but I made this thread on purpose to see which version you guys are going to buy. It will be helpful for me and obviously many others to decide which version is best and which one to get.

Now so many releases have been coming. My question is which one you guys prefer and going to buy. Please reply.

1) The Dark Knight Rises normal amaray Blu-ray release.



2) The Dark Knight Rises Limited Edition Bat Cowl Packaging.



3) The Dark Knight Rises Target Exclusive DigiBook.



4) The Dark Knight Rises Target Exclusive Lenticular DigiBook



5) The Dark Knight Rises Best Buy Exclusive SteelBook




If you are going to get any other release which is not mentioned here please post that too in reply.

Thanks.

Still on the fence, trying to decide between steel and bat cowl.

[mredman]

if the Reborn thing is not a download i will get that if it is i will go with the regular release

[Crystal Clear HD]

I will be getting the Best Buy steelbook for sure, to go with my other two steelbooks. I might also get one of the Target digibooks. Then next year, I will buy the entire trilogy again, but in their ultimate editions (maybe I will swap the new discs for the old discs in the steelbooks).

[Drewbee87]

I'll be getting the standard edition. Reason for that choice is because I plan on buying the Trilogy set that will come out in 2013 and I don't want to have an edition that I won't want to get rid of. lol And I not a collector, so having multiple copies of one movie isn't my thing.

same. but if i can't get the steel then i guess i'll settle for the regular edition.

[kashif]

What about the Bat Cowl Packaging? Are you interested? Well, i am very much but the problem is I will have to pay a nice amount to get it to my country. Maybe a shipment of USD 25 or more so thats why I am very confused!

So is there any pictures revealed of Bat Cowl Packaging? I mean where the discs will be placed and also what memorabilia and figures etc are included?

The poll told me to specify the "other" I'm buying...buying it on VUDU, has some cool features there and I can watch it in the room with my Xbox, where I am most the time.

I'm probably doing the same. Going to Walmart it's a $7 savings over the Steel.

I chose "other" as I preordered the The Dark Knight Trilogy (Batman Begins / The Dark Knight / The Dark Knight Rises) for $29.99. I don't own (but I've seen) the first two, so this was a GREAT deal for me to get 'em all.

SteeeeeeelBOOOOoooooooook!

There is a way to solve the problem of there currently being no plans for a "The Dark Knight Rises"--Blu-ray + DVD Combo With Limited Edition Bat-Cowl Display Case that would also include "The Dark Knight Reborn". "Reborn" is a documentary on the making of "The Dark Knight Trilogy". It seems that this documentary will only be available with "TDKRises"--Limited Edition Steelbook Best Buy Exclusive.

Obviously, most all of us true fans would much prefer to own the Bat-Cowl plus "Reborn", and not have pay for both the Steelbook and the Bat-Cowl just to have the coolest packaging along with the documentary. Also, I am sure that we all want to know what contents will be included in "The Dark Knight Trilogy"--Ultimate Collector's Edition Set, coming in the fall of 2013, before we decide to buy "TDKR" in December.

Since these products are manufactured by Warner Bros., please go to their website, bottom of page, "Help - Tell Us What You Think", take a survey and send them the following letter in the alloted text boxes. You may also go to the WBShop site, to the bottom of the page, find "Customer Service - Contact Us", and paste the same text into a message and send it to them. Feel free to write your own message, if you can. You may also print the following message and mail it to Warner Home Video, 4000 Warner Blvd., Burbank CA 91522. If enough of us participate, we may get the results that we deserve!

Dear Warner Bros. Home Video,

According to the BestBuy website, "The Dark Knight Rises"--Blu-ray + DVD Combo with Limited Edition Bat-Cowl Display Case will NOT include "The Dark Knight Reborn", which is a documentary on the making of "The Dark Knight Trilogy". So Far, "Reborn" will only be available with "The Dark Knight Rises"--Best Buy Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook.

We the fans of the Trilogy and the loyal followers of you century's great roster of movies respectfully request that the Bat-Cowl Limited Edition be made to include the coveted "Dark Knight Reborn" Blu-ray Disc. While Steelbook packaging is cool, we many serious collectors will definitely much prefer to have the Bat-Cowl displayed on our shelves. But we do not wish to have to double-dip and buy both the Steelbook and Bat-Cowl, just to have the most prestigious packaging plus the documentary.

If it is too late in the manufacturing process to have the "Reborn" BDs inserted into the Bat-Cowl boxes, then they may attached to outside of the box within a simple cardboard sleeve or else distributed in limited quantities to the first-coming customers. I am confident that Warner Bros. Home Video can find of a way to resolve this problem.

Furthermore, please post the product details and box contents list for "The Dark Knight Trilogy"--Ultimate Collector's Edition Gift Set, which is purported to be released in early 2013, as soon as possible, hopefully before December 4th, which is when "Dark Knight Rises" will be released on Blu-ray and DVD. Doing so will enable us Batfans to decide on whether to acquire "TDKR" in December, or to wait for the Trilogy Ultimate Set.

If there are some other powers that be that we should instead be contacting in regards to these issues, please forward this message to them or else let us know their names, phone numb#rs and/or e-mail addresses.

Thank You So Much for hearing us!
Sincerely,
(type your name here)

The steelbook, if only for the Reborn doc. I would normally get the digibook (love the format) but in the end; content > packaging.

[TitusTroy]

Target exclusive...best cover art, Digibook and 25 page comic made it a no brainer for me

[blueskeeper11]

Pre-ordered the BB steelbook today. Will also buy Target digibook.

[lilant2248]

Lenticular DigiBook

[willbfree]

Is there a normal BluRay case inside the BestBuy Steelbook?

Because I really don't want a tunafish can in my movie collection -- not a fan of them. But I want BestBuy's bonus disc.

Update: Crap, I've googled pics of other Steelbooks and they don't have a regular case inside. I guess I'll buy it anyway and hope someone makes custom cover art available.

[MaCruz]

I probably mentioned this already but I'll post again.

BB SB, and possibly a Target Bane Digibook.
