The Dark Knight ruled this summer’s screens and is soon to dominate living rooms and quietly hide in gift wrapped bliss for some lucky holiday season participant. Today the Dark Knight is released on DVD.

Holy collector’s crap Batman!!
Yeah, everyone wants to offer something unique to make sure you buy a copy of this movie at THEIR establishment. Clearly this is going to be a huge release and retail chains are falling all over themselves to get your attention. I like the Blockbuster bundle that actually includes a Bluray Player to get you to make the bat-leap into HD.
Personally for me, I am just going to pick up the Bluray copy at the first place I see it at. I don’t need the toys or special boxes.
Go to /Film if you want to see the images of each set.
