Darkhorizons.com (http://www.darkhorizons.com/) has posted news regarding the DVD release of Batman Begins (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050816i.php) on October 18th 2005.


The film will be available in three different disc formats. For the cheap ass there's two single-disc editions in widescreen and full screen.

For the proper DVD collector's there's a two-disc deluxe set containing no less than eight documentaries covering the production, the batsuit, the batmobile, the monorail chase, shooting in Iceland, fighting and a look at incarnations of the Batman over the past 20 years.

There's also featurettes on the characters and weapons, an interactive comic book, a stills gallery, trailer and a special collectible 72-page comic.

Each edition will present the film in anamorphic widescreen (2.40:1) with English and French Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. Oddly enough the price difference is minimal (RRP $29 vs. $31) although both versions are already available for pre-order (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000AU9UYM/qid=1124175771/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_7/103-5867360-5673417?v=glance&s=dvd) on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/) for just $16.
Excellent, a well spent $16.
Update: Last of the Red Hot Mamas discovered that Amazon has removed thier pre-order link.

Amazon's not selling them anymore (it's still listed, but you can't actually place an order). I guess they realized the ~50% discount is a bit steeper than their usual.

Huh. Haven't seen my pre-order get cancelled but I am sure it's just a matter of time.

needs more chris nolan commentary.

There is one (David Goyer is also on the track). I guess Dark Horizons missed it or has a different idea on what constitutes a special feature worth mentioning.

Awesome. I'm definitely buying the two-disc set. The commentary interests me greatly.

In a related note, I made the mistake of buying Sin City on DVD today. No deleted scenes, no commentary, no special features at all to speak of... I should have known, really. It's just screaming "director's cut special edition in 6 months."

Isn't that a bit fast for a release?

Oh well, I will just wait for the Uber elite edition ZZ Xtreme with a slurpy, to come out.

Not even six months. It's coming out at Christmas. I JUST screamed that in the new releases thread. Should've been careful and checked.

I don't think it's much faster than normal at all.

I need to pick this up when it comes out... Wasn't in range of a theatre when it was showing. Stupid hick town -.-

When I was in 8th grade they converted our theatre (the only form of entertainment in the town besides sex, drugs, and home electronics) into a church. Because a dozen churches wasn't enough for 2000 drug addicts to worship in appearently.
