'Dark Knight' DVD Details Revealed

DateSunday, September 21, 2008 at 2:08PM

In mid-July, I believe it was The History Channel that ran a terrific hour-long show called Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of The Dark Knight. If you missed it, you'll get a real bonus when you pick up The Dark Knight on DVD. It's among one of many special features you'll find on the DVD (release date to be determined), and here's a breakdown of what you can expect.

Gotham Discovered: The Creation of a Scene - Christopher Nolan and his crew members discuss the planning of the movie, things like stunt work, the IMAX filming, and information on new Bat accoutrements.

Batman Technology: Gadgets and Tools, which should be self-explanatory.

The brain of Batman is cracked open in two special documentaries, the aforementioned Batman Unmasked and The World of Batman Seen Through Real Life Psychotherapy, as opposed to make believe psychotherapy, I suppose.

Half a dozen clips from Gotham Cable Premier's Tonight in Gotham, the news call-in show hosted by Anthony Michael Hall.

There are also several galleries, like The Joker's letters, conceptual art, posters, and production stills.

I was thinking we'd get more, maybe a deleted scene or two, a Heath Ledger retrospective, which would have certainly been appropriate, and maybe a little more on the history between Batman and The Joker. I suspect we'll get those things eventually, but not with the first DVD.

We still don't have an exact release date, though it looks like sometime in December. We'll keep you posted.

I hope there is a documentary or a featurette about Two-Face-face.
