A damn fine one I'd like to have, though! One can dream...

Regardless if it holds or not, I'm fine with a Steelbook that matches the BB "exclusives"; repackages of futureshop ones minus the inner art.

I'm gonna try to get this day 1. I don't want any fancy packaging, just one to match with the other 2.

Yea it doesnt seem real for some reason. I just hope BB has a steelbook. I would like a digibook aswell. Then hopefully a boxset with all 3 films and an extra disc.

SPOILERS - my BATMAN timeline...


******* THE BAT-VERSE Chronology by UniSol GR77 ***************

1953- Ra's Al Ghul is born.
1963- James Gordon is born.
1972- "Bane" is born.
1975, 24th October- Bruce Wayne is born.
1977- "Talia" (unnamed at the time) is born in the Pit. (Joey King is 13 years old in TDKR).
1979- Ra's Al Ghul becomes the definitive leader of the League of Shadows.
1980- Ra's Al Ghul sparks the economical depression of Gotham City, setting in motion the tragic events which will eventually create the Batman.
1983- Joe Chill murders the Waynes. Bruce is just 8 years old. Gordon is 20 years old and just a "rookie" in the line of the duty.
1990- Bane saves Talia from certain death in the Pit. Talia escapes.
1991- Ra's Al Ghul finds Talia and then comes to rescue Bane.
1992- Bane and Talia start their training as LOS young recruits.
1993- Robin John Blake is born.
1997- 14 years since his parents' brutal death, Bruce Wayne quits the Priceton University and comes back to Gotham City for his silly "revenge" against Joe Chill. At the end, he fakes his death for the very first time.
1999- Bane is "excommunicated" by the LOS. He becomes a mercenary.
2001- Bruce enters in the League of the Shadows and is taught by "Henri Ducard"/Ra's Al Ghul.
2004- Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City again and starts as "VIGILANTE". After few months, he gradually develops the brand-new BATMAN persona.
2005, October- BATMAN BEGINS. Bruce turns 30. The Joker starts his career as a poor criminal, gradually climbing the charts and leaving his "mark" everywhere. (date confirmed by a newspapers seen in the movie).
2006- Robin John Blake meets Bruce Wayne for the first time, realizing he's Batman.
2008, August/December- THE DARK KNIGHT. The Joker finally reveals himself as a supreme genius of chaos. Dent is "killed". Batman takes the blame. (date confirmed by a video recording seen in the movie).

NOTE: I my opinion at least a three year timeline between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight makes more sense. First off, because the actors look older since there was a three year gap between these films, in turn the characters look older. Also, six months to a year is just far too short of a period for all the things to happen such as the rise of Harvey Dent, Harvey and Rachel's courtship, the falling of the mob, the rebuilding of a 42,000 square foot mansion that would be fulled restored brick by brick. More importantly, there's the "establishment" of the "sonar cell" technology on the market which obviously took MUCH time to get accomplished.
Joker's "A year ago..." comment can easily be dismissed as the mob still had alot of pull in the city's politics. However, with Mayor Garcia and Harvey Dent recently elected, the formation of M.C.U, and the weight of Batman all baring down on them, that could have been the breaking point for the crime families causing them to have to pull together in desperation.
Finally, the spirit of Ra's al Ghul tells Wayne that he fought the decadence of Gotham for "years."

2010, March/December- 'The Dent Act' finally goes into effect. Batman gradually and quietly retires after a long strings of "UNCONFIRMED" deeds since 2008. Bruce now focuses his energy on the Reactor Project. (date confirmed by a plaque on the wall of the Blackgate prison).
2013- The Reactor Project turns off as a total failure. Bruce Wayne retires from public life and becomes a hermit. Miranda Tate starts working for Wayne Enterprises around this time.
2016- THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. Bruce is 41 years old. Gordon is 53 years old.
2023- John Blake, now 30, becomes BATMAN II.

I won't even read your timeline, since you said there's a 3 year gap between BB and DK. Joker clearly says "Wind the clocks back a year..." so that pretty much nullifies everything you said.

[Sky_Captain85]

I'm hoping for better bonus material than The Dark Knight release.

[MykeHavoc]

I'm willing to bet the batmobile doc will be worth the purchase alone.

No problem with that. I explained that phrase in my timeline... read carefully.

Well you should read because he address that. I guess it's just easyer to totally dismiss ones thoughts based on a small discrepancy.

I would argue The Dark Knight Rises is quite a bit better than all five of those films.

Jedi is so-so, Godfather III is better imo than II, SM3 and Matrix Revolutions are weak, but Alien 3? Alien 3 is equal to Alien & Aliens and TDKR is not even close.

there's the "establishment" of the "sonar cell" technology on the market

What establishment? Bruce have no clue about that technology before his visit in Hong Kong and he was somehow using ALL regular cell phones, not some enhanced phones made for that.

No......just......no. Of course this is all opinion based anyway.

It's definitely clarifying for those that haven't seen the trilogy yet(guess they live under a rock lol).

No doubt about it. I think I'll hold off opening my copy until X-Mas day so I can watch the doc with my old man since he loves and grew up with the old Batmobile.

My real main concern is a collector release. I was some sort of display piece with it.
