The best movie of 2008 (and possibly the decade) deserves to look its best on home video, and thanks to Blu-ray, we get as close as we can to the IMAX experience. Director Christopher Nolan supervised the transfer and the bonus features to guarantee their excellence – so this one comes director approved. You get all the extras that appear on the standard edition, as well as “Batman Tech”, a look at some of the cooler gadgets in the film, and “Batman Unmasked”.
But the really exciting part is BD Live, which allows you to access bonus features that Warner Bros. streams from its website, as well as trailers and the opportunity to talk about the movie while you watch it with other Batman/Blu-ray geeks. The future is here! We also haven’t even mentioned that if you are so inclined, you can record your own commentary track to accompany the movie, and other people can listen to it. Hours of mucking about with technowizardry, and a future classic film? Get in! 5/5
