^remember those scenes in the Dark Knight that were filmed in IMAX and how they looked freakin' insane?

well, imagine the ENTIRE FILM now done that way! and it's Batman3! =D

It doesn't mean anything. It sure doesn't mean it will be the best looking blu-ray.

Besides, this is already being discussed in the Movie forum.

Meh. No IMAX within hours of where I live
I don't see why they don't just shoot the whole thing in regular 65mm. Then it's widescreen, easier to handle, and still looks way better than 35mm

[Blu-Benny]

that would look incredible!!!

I would be very happy with that. The IMAX scenes look fantastic on Blu-ray and looked amazing in the IMAX. I actually like the ratio of those scenes on the Blu-ray.

No doubt it will look fantastic in imax and on blu-ray, but i hope the nolans and goyer do a good job with the story again.

I hope they do a good job with the story for a change. But I doubt it.

I do not think you are in luck Beast. They will probably stick with what they have been doing; which incidentally is great for me.

It seems like Nolan's movies have been getting bigger and more ambitious over time. I wonder if he will continue with Batman Begins 3. I don't see him trying to outdo himself with it, but I bet he will be on par with Begins and Knight; which means a 10/10 movie for me

It can't be the best looking bluray because best looking and WB is an oxymoron.

[Gamma_Winstead]

Chris Nolan has said nothing about the entire film in IMAX. Thus, this is a rumour.

Do we really need a Batman 3 thread 2 years before they even start it????

We need something else to talk about except for Star Wars and October 26...

Damn, I thought there's an announcement for Batman 3 on BD already. Sticky!!

Either way, it's way to early to determine what's going to happen.

I really can't wait for Batman 3.
Now I hope when this hits Blu-Ray it will get a DTS-HD MA 5.1 track and not a DolbyTrue HD track like the past two Batman flicks have...
Although, I'm more excited for Inception to hit Blu-Ray. That will have incredible PQ and AQ and that's one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

WB is definitely the weak link in Batman 3 being the best Blu-ray yet. Their standard practices almost always lead to sub-par transfers.

How is this a straight up rumour? Wally Pfister the Director of Photography that always works with Christopher Nolan is the one being interviewed by MTV in the linked article. Please read the actual article linked instead of just denying it.
I think Warner Bros. could make a reference quality transfer with Batman Begins 3. Sure TDK suffered in the 35mm scenes but that's because they used the IMAX DMR digital intermediate. So technically they did a 100% accurate to the source material job. And the IMAX scenes in TDK are reference quality.

rise, that's a completely diff. thing doing poor encoding/mastering of a brand new film (the dark knight) is very diff. from Batman3. i believe a better version will come out in the future. just give it time. this is too popular a franchise to ignore.

[AFightingPanda]

Just going to say I love the Nolan batman films so far but I am kind of tired of batman being just a guy who goes around hitting things. I really think they need to delve into the aspect of him becoming the worlds "greatest detective" as he is supposed to be in the comic books. I could totally understand that batman would start out as just a guy who goes around punching people but to really hit all the key aspects of batman as a character whole they need to get into the intellectual side of things as well. Anyway now that inception is finished and a great film by my estimation Nolan will have time to really delve into the next batman and hopefully have it live up to the last two.

Yes it is and honestly it's hard for any movie that uses mostly dark or night scenes to really be reference anyway. Just hoping for pretty good PQ and really good AQ.
