Edit - Nevermind, I just looked it up. Not sure if I should preorder or wait till release day though. I really want the steelbook and don't want to risk it being sold out at my store, although I'm sure they'll have plenty of copies.

I'm sure they'll have plenty of copies. Or you could just always wait till the price drops on the website as the release date is closer.

I actually like this one a lot...

Dark Knight Rises was an awesome ending to the trilogy, as good as could have possibly delivered. And besides The Dark Knight, I put it as the best comic book movie to date.

Best Buy steelbook for me.

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,

The release date is 1 month out. There is no way WB is delaying one of the most anticipated releases of the year for 1 extra that appears to be on a store exclusive. I'm sure all the discs are pressed and packaged and staged for delivery in a couple weeks.
If you're that big of a fan you'll buy both.

WB made a deal with Best Buy.
Offering it to people in anyway unrelated to Best Buy would get them sued. It's not ideal, but you'll have to buy both(though I've heard that Reborn isn't that great ofa doc anyways.

[Derekforeals]

So is the Dark Knight Reborn Best Buy documentary only 35min? I hope that's not the case. Target set the bar a little higher with the Avengers bonus disc which was 90min. (although much footage was re-hashed from other docs). I was hoping for something that had a little more meat on it then just a 35min documentary.

Well hopefully that's not the case...

I wonder if TDKR will finally be seen for what it is on Home Video: a dissapointment. 8.8 on IMDB, f&@k me. The film is horrendously edited, Does Nolan even know how time and space work?

Have to disagree here. I found it a very worthy conclusion to the trilogy.

You're referring to the stock market incident where the chase turned from day to night in 5 mins? Yeah... It happens.

Every film has mistakes. Batman Begins has horrible editing in the final confrontation between Batman and Ras. The train is traveling too fast. At the rate it's going, it should have reached the building in 10 secs, but the fight lasts for close to 2 mins.

The Dark Knight also has some bad editing here and there. The scene that bothers me is when the Batpod's cables wrap under the truck and around the light poles and then cuts and he reaches the wall on his bike and it cuts to the truck, which then flips and breaks the light poles and then we cut back to Batman nearly 10 seconds later, and he's just reaching the wall like if he was frozen for 10 seconds. Batman drives up the wall and flips back around. I guess it was to make it "cool" rather than accurate.

The Dark Knight is still the best film in the trilogy. A great accomplishment in film making. 2nd best is The Dark Knight Rises for me. Batman Begins is probably my least favorite in the series. It was more of an experiment in making a new Batman film. The first half of Batman Begins is great, but the later half of the film falls short. The Dark Knight is great throughout. The Dark Knight Rises is also great throughout with a great finale.

Good luck with that. Like rickah88 said, no way. Warner Brothers doesn't care and they know that fanatics will buy both. That's the whole point of this kind of marketing. They're not going to delay shipping or add additional parts/cost - and they're certainly not going to make any announcements about the "Ultimate Edition" () that would depress sales this December. What are you on? Can I have some?

It's their game. Like Joshua, the WOPR computer, figured out in WarGames, "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play." You wanna save money? You wanna win? See the flick in the theater or buy the basic, cheapo Blu-ray. Then, next year, when the dust has settled, buy the version you like the best when it's on sale for Christmas, 2013!

[Brahby]

Does anyone know if any of the deleted scenes involving Banes backstory will be included in any of the versions?

This. Warner did not release a dozen versions of TDKR to include as much material as they could. They did so to make as much money as possible. The serious collectors and completists will buy the both the Bat Cowl and the Reborn sets separately anyway, as it's important to them to have all the material.

That's the thing about collecting: it gets expensive. Decide whether or not it's worth the extra cost an purchase accordingly.
