based on incorrect information supplied by Warner Brothers. It has now been confirmed from multiple sources that the 4K/HDR master was derived And it’s true. We first popped in the 1080p Blu-ray of The Dark Knight to compare to the new 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray release and it renders far superior color range. The darker areas and shadows have a ton more detail, and, there is much more contrast between light and dark areas. Of course, make sure your TV is set to cinema mode and not one of those fake, color-enhancing modes that make films look more like cheap TV shows than the multi-million dollar productions they are. The Dark Knight on 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray is presented in 2160p resolution (4x the resolution of 1080p Blu-ray) with variable aspect ratios between 2.4:1 and 1.78:1 (IMAX sequences). The video also features enhanced color and contrast via the HDR10 specification (viewable on supporting 4k HDR TVs). And, audio is provided in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (English) along with subtitles in English SDH, French, and Spanish.

mixing IMAX and 35mm footage, previewing their experiment by including TDK's IMAX-filmed opening as an extra on Batman Begins. First on Blu-ray, and now again on UHD,The Dark Knight Trilogy’s three films share the same visual aesthetic which supports the narrative’s thematic tone. While these aren’t films that consistently utilize emphatic color schemes, there are times elements that make for dazzling visuals, and that comes across with aplomb in their Ultra HD renderings. the existing element with the greatest resolution. We regret the error; the scores for Video and 4K have been adjusted.) To say that The Dark Knight it exceeded my expectations would be a bit of an understatement. It allowed the audience the chance to further examine the complex persona behind the man on both sides of the mask. Batman struggles not only against the mob but also has to deal with corruption within local law enforcement and city prosecutors. On top of that he must now contend with The Joker who is unlike anything he has dealt with previously. This isn’t an overly complicated individual but his methodology is anything but simple. He is an anarchist who has no value system. His belief is that everyone is corruptible and that the one individual who consistently challenges that theory must constantly be put to the test. This film is an eclectic thriller, and a fast-paced action opus, that is exactly what genre fans clamor for. It is my opinion that without the outstanding performance by the late Heath Ledger as The Joker the film would not have had the same impact. He took this character to a level not achieved by any other actor playing this type of villain in an action film. I am sure that I am not alone when I say that I appreciated his efforts. The Dark Knight is available on Blu-ray, 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray, and in The Dark Knight Trilogy with all three films on 4k Blu-ray.

Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good.

On Ultra HD Blu-ray we’re offered a terrific remastering of the film and those stunning IMAX sequences, as well as some Blu-ray specific features (only offered in 1080p). Still, a commentary would have been excellent, too. Ultimately, the best reason to own this disc is to have a seriously great reference disc on hand for the impressive video and audio quality. Warner Bros. generally does an excellent job with many of their top-tier 4k Blu-ray titles (the hits for the most part) and The Dark Knight looks and sounds terrific. The best part is that those amazing scenes Nolan filmed in IMAX look jaw-dropping on a big living-room screen in 4k. To accomplish a kind of quasi-IMAX effect at home the widescreen image switches aspect ratio, nearly imperceptibly, between 16:9 for the IMAX scenes (originally in 1.44:1 ratio) and 2.4:1 with small letterbox bars at top and bottom for the similar aspect ratio size of the projected 35mm scenes. The switch (six times for each IMAX scene) is not as distracting as one might think, and overall it’s a huge benefit to the presentation of the film. The Dark Knight Trilogy comes to Ultra HD Blu-ray from Warner Brothers Home Entertainment featuring 2160pHEVC encoded video and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 3.5 Mbps.
