The 4-Film Batman Collection has stacking discs too.

I haven't seen it but the combined runtime of the two additional cuts could be as much as 1:58 off based on how they round the runtimes, so it's pretty much a useless difference until someone figures it out to the exact second. Still, even if the runtime is even the new edition has only one set of credits. But the fact that nobody has really reported any significant difference is weird.

Awesome release, can't wait to own the Target steelbook.

[Ooze33]

WOW, I didn't realize this was released early! Right when I saw the review I ran to my Best Buy and got my copy!

Does this not have the "Superman Unbound" preview? because i kinda like the 10 min previews they out on the disc's and dont own Part 2 of this.

[GP Legend]

So apparently the early release is for the American Best Buy, as Best Buy here in Canada only has it for pre-order for October 8th.

Well you can always buy the movie. Superman Unbound is available now.

[aussiedude]

the only one i dont have is Dark Knight Returns p2 because i herd of this Ed. i just wanted to know if ALL the extras were ported over or just most of them.

IMO its bull shit if you do a deluxe Ed with some extras missing.

[AGH]

I know this has been mentioned countless times regarding the steelbook and we can only wish... But... G2, G2, G2! I'm rooting for it.

Did Wayne have his "death" planned before the bomb blew?
Did he create & send the notes to Blake after the explosion?

Miller's "fake death" was very planned out.

So is this Part 1 and Part 2 together?

What is missing or added? Is it simply chopping off the end credits of 1 and the opening credits of 2 and splicing it together? Or is there some type of bridge between the two movies?

^^^ this because I didn't think the way part 1 ended and part 2 started would flow together nicely.

Maybe it does though

I strongly doubt any sort of new bridging scenes would be added to the combined running time, that would have been heavily touted in the marketing materials like the new extras. This is simply the two parts combined together, into one feature.

It's a pretty natural edit. It fades away at the end of where Part I ended (Joker's "Batman! Darling" line) and then you hear the new report audio that starts off Part II, with the video fading in to Joker watching the news report on TV with the caption "Three Months Later" appearing on the screen.

I think it works perfectly fine. If I hadn't seen the parts separately previously before I probably wouldn't have noticed the edit.

So, I went ahead and picked this up. Used a $5 reward zone coupon on top of Amazon Price matching. It was around $17 when all was said and done. That is a pretty sweet deal, considering it would of cost me over $40 when I thought about buying Part I and II desperately a few months back before finding out about this release(thank God for this site!.)

Anyways, I had a question about the digital copy. I like watching my UV copies on VUDU. I mean, sure, I usually always will pop the blu-ray in before anything, but sometimes for convenience sake, it's nice to just pop on vudu and stream it in the bedroom. My question is does anybody know why their copy isn't linked to vudu? When I go to Flixster I see B:TDKR on there along with all my other titles that are on the other streaming services. Is it maybe because Best Buy released it early, and perhaps it will be available on vudu after the 8th of Oct?
