I think it would have been better, and made more sense given the citywide scope of the film, to go with this poster as the cover instead.

I believe that's the cover art for the single-disc DVD release.

Yes, it is.

Hmm. So it is. For some reason, the last time I viewed the page, the pictures didn't load for the single-disc version.

Anyway, I'll probably be buying that version, as I always do (not much of a features guy), so I'll miss out on the Joker-ized back cover. Oh well.

I like that pick of Harvey...didn't realize how much of it was actually CGI! There was barely any makeup involved at all!

Yes, they did a very good job. I don't get the 'un-realistic' argument against it.

As for the cover art for the DVDs, I would have liked the first teaser poster to be the main cover. Very simple but very effective. Personally, it's the best of the bunch. In a way, it echoes the logo posters for Batman (1989) and Batman Returns.

Just thought I'd pitch in that on the 1st November, Sheffield University Cinema (in the Union Auditorium) is showing it for £2!!!!!!!!! I will unfortunately be at a charity ball that night, but on behalf of Sheffield University, come along! This is Conlazmoodalbrocra, CBNs Sheffield contact!


P.S. that wasn't deliberate advertising!
P.P.S. 29 days until Quantum Of Solace!!!

OMG!

[kyleargyle]

That's some pretty wicked make-up that guy's got! Terrible impression/acting, but wicked make-up!

[HildebrandRarity]

Yes, but will its sales count toward B/O take...so I don't have to buy Hilly dinner?

DVD, video, cable, in flight and rental-oriented sales and terrestrial tv contracts don't count in "box office".

So you're out of luck, dodgey dodge!

Nice try, though.

You're going to lose so i'd like you to find the nearest homeless person and buy them a soup and a sandwich and i'll call us even.

Thanks and i'm counting on you to honour your commitment to that homeless individual.

I think when people complain about Harvey's look not being "realistic" they're referring to the overall fact that no human being could survive such a wound (nor would they be allowed/able to turn down any skin grafting), and not the overall look of the injury.

The make-up and CGI is flawless; the believability of such trauma is not.

(However, it IS a Batman movie and it IS Two-Face, so I was more than willing to suspend my disbelief in order to see my favorite Batman character so wonderfully - and finally - brought to life!)

Also, on the subject of the actual DVD, I really wish the two disc set had the Batman/burning building cover. Not really into the batpod version.

Warner Bros. Records will release a Special Edition version of The Dark Knight soundtrack on December 9. Not much is known about the release, but the Amazon.com listing states that it includes two discs.

Hmm. If it includes more score, I got enough of the score on the first release. There didn't seem to be too much good stuff left out.

I finally bought The Art of The Dark Knight a little while ago, and the last page of it was quite interesting.

It features a slightly different ending as drawn in a storyboard sequence. Instead of driving off in the batpod as in the film, Batman walks away from Gordon and his son at the top of the building and leaps out – gliding away from the police that have stormed the building.

Sounds very Interesting. I've been hoping to get this book, I've just never gotton round to it.

Finally a full script. I've been waiting for this for a while now. Nice find.

[Cruiserweight]

I think i'll be getting myself the 2 disc set.

Yup, me too.

OMG!

That is absolutely amazing. It might be the best rendition of Heath Ledger's Joker. His "why so serious" is amazing.

Heath gave a MASTERPIECE performance as Joker.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Good lord. Take a look at this previously unseen Heath Ledger/Joker photoshoot image. He's holding up a torn Spider-Man toy.
