The Dark Knight Rises: It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. 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. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act.

Worse are the full-length segments of the faux tabloid news show “Gotham Tonight,” featuring Anthony Michael Hall. While they’re interesting in context to the film’s narrative (and Hall’s not bad), they don’t offer much for cinephiles or Batfanatics in regards to how the film was accomplished and the impact it is already starting to have in cinema and fan circles. Nolan created a phenomenon in the summer of 2008 and that is something that bears more focus than the features offered here. Still Galleries also feature the amazing concept art and fantastic PR materials that preceded the film’s release as well as Theatrical and TV trailer spots in from the film in full HD (1 teaser, 2 trailers, and a few TV spots) that are impressive in look and execution.

The Dark Knight 4K Blu-ray delivers stunning video and reference-quality audio in this exceptional Blu-ray release However, I did enjoy the cohesiveness of the narrative as it pertained to Bruce’s reemergence, facing a foe unlike any other, and the superbly integrated subplots revolving around Blake and Selina. It went without saying that the production elements, cast selection, direction and action/choreography were all top notch in keeping with the bar set by the earlier films. Going into viewing The Dark Knight Rises having previously seen it proved to be a more enriching experience, allowing me to take it all in.

The Dark Knight 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray Review | HD Report

Director Christopher Nolan personally oversaw the remastering of The Dark Knight trilogy films for 4k release, proclaiming that if you can’t watch the movies in the theater the Ultra HD Blu-ray releases are the closest thing you can get at home, with deeper color palettes that more closely match the analog colors of the 35mm film. Primary audio on the 4K disc is included in another new English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio mix that’s of excellent quality and appears to be a slight improvement upon the previous Blu-ray’s already reference-grade Dolby TrueHD presentation. As with Batman Begins, it offers a big, full soundstage, with excellent dialogue clarity, robust bass, smooth and natural panning, and strong atmospherics. The LFE, if anything, is just a bit more muscular here than before, while the mix’s dynamic range appears to have expanded a bit, both characteristics that further enhance the creeping tension of Hans Zimmer’s nervous and edgy score. Additional audio options include French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Thai 5.1 Dolby Digital, with optional subtitles in English for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, French, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and Thai. presentation. Since that time, however, dissenting voices have questioned the quality of that Blu-ray, which, like all of Nolan's films to date, wasAside from the constant abuse to his well-honed body, he fears for the safety of those around him, and as Batman becomes his primary identity he allows the man known as Bruce Wayne to become a caricature of the playboy billionaire… a mask to show the outside world, a façade to protect those he loves, and the only way to maintain Wayne Industries and allow himself the time (and money) to be the kind of (Bat)man he needs to be. The only question remaining is which Batman does Gotham want: A dark vigilante protecting them from terror? A useful myth on which to pin their own fears and darkest hatreds? That question is the dark heart of the matter.

Blu-ray, but then I don't turn it off. The sheer intensity the film's visuals is too mesmerizing to The Dark Knight assaults 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with an impressive HEVC / H.265 encoded 2160p transfer. The UHD Blu-ray was reviewed on a Samsung UE55KS8000 Ultra HD TV and a Samsung UBD-K8500 Ultra HD Blu-ray player. Batman Begins doesn’t have quite the definitive visual pop of The Dark Knight and the Dark Knight Rises. Much of that is owed to the original source elements, and the fact that is doesn’t incorporate the IMAX footage. This isn’t a shortcoming, and in most respects, it holds it own quite well. The sequences that take place in and around the temple look terrific, offering beautifully rendered color, excellent reproduction of shadow detail, and eye catching specular highlights (during the explosive battle between Bruce and the members of the League of Shadows). Later, during the final act when Gotham is under siege and Batman intervenes with the help Rachel and Jim, the sepia toned shots of misty, nighttime Gotham, set against the various pyrotechnics associated with the battle/runaway train are the among the presentation’s highlights. I eagerly awaited Christopher Nolan’s final installment and hoped that it would befit and compliment the first two in the series. The Dark Knight would be difficult to live up to for a variety of reasons, but as a fan I had hopes. I went to see The Dark Knight Rises with my son who is a very big fan. My reaction to it wasn’t as enthusiastic as it was with its predecessor. I found the script to be slightly uneven and overlong as it dealt with Bruce’s excursion to the pit while he sorted out the true meaning of life, death and that conquering fear alone wasn’t enough if he was going to rise from the remains left of him by the indomitable Bane. I also found the final showdown between Bane and Batman to be anticlimactic, and disappointing, which wasn’t helped by the rather conventional plot twist that I saw coming.
