Lord of the Rings. Star Wars. Thor. Harry Potter. It's endless. So anyway I guess I disagree with your disagreement. But hey... this is the internet.

Like the other poster said, the simplicity is appealing. It sparks the imagination. You see an empty mask, I see

[Show spoiler]

You could argue for a different design (Bat symbol, silhouette, Gotham skyline, whatever), but I like these franchise sets to use something understated and iconic. Star Wars, Alien, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter all do this for their complete collections, and it's, to repeat myself, great. It makes the story the focus rather than the actors playing the part.

And yeah, lots of films do it, especially for individual releases, but I don't care for it. Floating heads are boring. I'll take poster art, illustrations, paintings, or some creative, franchise capturing, design over photoshopped publicity stills any day.

But yeah, to each his own. But since I like the official design, I win.

I personally don't feel like it captures Nolan's Batman at all. It reminds me more of the 90's batman more than anything. I also hate the overly blue shiny look of it. If anything I'd rather something much more toned down, like this

or something like the art and making of book (I realize this is pretty rough)

Pretty sure no charge until it ships out.

Correct! I've been buying from Amazon for over 15 years, you will not be charged until your order enters the shipping stage. They may place a $1 fee on your card temporarily simply to ensure your card is good, but that would probably just be for your first order. After that you should be set! Congrat's, Amazon is the best online store out there.

Plus they don't charge you until it ships, so you can always cancel it between now and then.

Thanks Jay444, just put my order in at Amazon. I don't wanna take a chance at missing getting one of these at stores, plus it will match my Dark Knight cowl version.

Was wondering about this as well. They still have steelbook version for previous films in my store which I am getting today but cannot pre order this steelbook version yet.

I think I've pre-ordered every conceivable version of this except the steelbook (with Gold Box discounts, etc.). As long as it's not overpriced, I'll pick this up to go along with the steelsbooks of the first two and cancel the others.

Steelbook all the way. No need to buy a digibook when you can get the Art & Making of TDK Trilogy. Which is a much better companion to the films then a digibook could ever be.

I agree with Mifunefan. There doesn't seem to be an over arcing picture for the trilogy. While each individual film has great artwork and represents it's story very well. There really is no long lasting image that captures the spirit of all three films.

No exclusive bonus disc from any retailers?

Best Buy has one. Exclusive retrospective documentary on the making of the trilogy.

Amazon's picture changed a little. Shows it's limited to 35,000 instead of 30,000. By the time it gets released, it will probably be limited to 100,000.

Oh well, I'm getting it day 1 no matter what.

The collector in me always likes a numbered release(Ben-Hur, Ten Commandments, etc), regardless of the total number...I know it will be limited to ONE! The one in my display case!

Anyone know if this pic is merely a creation of wishful thinking by a fan or is this steelbook actually real?
