The Dark Knight Trilogy [Batman] [4K Ultra-HD] [2012] [Blu-ray] [2017]

Product Information

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. Starring: Christian Bale , Michael Caine , Gary Oldman , Cillian Murphy , Morgan Freeman , Liam Neeson Living Room: Samsung 85QN95B // Denon X4300H (Auro 3D) // Klipsch RP-8000F + RP-504C // Dual SVS PB12-NSD // Panasonic UB420 + Nvidia Shield + Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen)

The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the DVDs and blu-ray category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from DC. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for DC branded products in the DVDs and blu-ray category. 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. The first is brand. Looking at the brand of the product is often a really good indicator for judging product quality. For example you’d expect a much higher quality product from a brand known for providing excellent quality than you would from an unknown or even a budget brand. Nolan is fairly well known at this point for his dislike of immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos, so all three of these films make do with a 5.1-channel DTS HD-Master mix. Fortunately, when routed through the upmixer of a modern processor (DTS: Neural in my case), you get a terrific sense of immersion. While you get some ambient sounds on the streets of Gotham, it’s the big action scenes that really show off your system, with sounds frequently encircling the entire room, including up overhead. Whether it is people under the trippy influence of Scarecrow’s (Murphy) gas, or Batman crushing over things in the Tumbler or flying around in The Bat, or the stadium-filled echo of the young boy (“What a lovely, lovely voice”) singing the National Anthem, the mix delivers.

Prior to watching Nolan’s trilogy, I told Lauryn that beyond being just great superhero movies, these are just great movies, specifically The Dark Knight with Heath Ledger’s fantastic Academy Award-winning portrayal of The Joker, which transcends the superhero genre by exploring depths and boundaries rarely attempted in movies with characters wearing capes.

Celebrities included, the best part of the evening was the twin 65" Sony OLED displays playing clips from Dunkirk and the rest of the 4K Collection. Unfortunately, we didn't get to take home any sample discs to do a more thorough analysis (nor did we get to compare the 4K transfers to the previous Blu-rays), but I wanted to share my first impressions because I'm very impressed. 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. 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.Gotham Uncovered: Creation of a Scene – Director Christopher Nolan and Creative Collaborators unmask the incredible detail and planning behind the film, including stunt staging, filming in IMAX, the Batsuit and Bat-pod, and more. 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 latest series of films we watched was Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, which started in 2005 with Batman Begins, followed in 2008 with The Dark Knight, and concluded in 2012 with The Dark Knight Rises.
