The Dark Knight Rises DVD.


As it continues to bring in no shortage of cash in cinemas around the world, attention is nonetheless slowly turning as to when Christopher Nolan’s final Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, is heading to DVD and Blu-ray. And we might just have the first hint of an answer.

Amazon Germany is generally one of the first to go live with a release date, and it’s now got both the DVD and Blu-ray of The Dark Knight Rises up for pre-order. The artwork isn’t finalised, but the site is listing Friday 30th November 2012 as when to expect the film. That’s not generally used as a holding date for Amazon Germany either, which tends to use 28th December as a list date for titles where it’s not got a firm release date hammered down.

Friday isn’t a traditional day to release a DVD/Blu-ray into the world, granted, but Warner Bros has made high profile exceptions in the past. The other rumored date that has been doing the rounds is Friday 7th December, but Amazon Germany is the first shopping site we’ve seen that’s officially come forward with any date.

And take a look at an amazing fan made trailer for the entire Dark Knight Trilogy…

The Brand Spanking New ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Trailer.


I know I’m supposed to write funny/descriptive things, but this is the brand new trailer for Christopher Nolan’s final Batman… It’s miraculous, just watch.

Leading an all-star international cast, Oscar winner Christian Bale again plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. The film also stars Anne Hathaway, as Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy, as Bane; Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as John Blake. Returning to the main cast, Oscar winner Michael Caine plays Alfred; Gary Oldman is Commissioner Gordon; and Oscar winner Morgan Freeman reprises the role of Lucius Fox.

Movie Marathoning (Batman vs. The Avengers).


With The Dark Knight Rises one of the most anticipated films of the summer, CraveOnline decided to make Batman the focus of their latest Movie Marathoners, tackling eight different Bat-films back to back.  Beginning with 1966’s Batman: The Movie, an audience of over 30 made their way through Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman, Batman Returns, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Batman Begins and, finally, The Dark Knight.  Take a look at the rating at the end of the video and see if you agree.

The Official ‘Dark Knight Rises Trailer’.


As an avid movie-goer, I have to admit that I participated quite a bit in the madness of this opening weekend.  With ‘Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows’, and ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’ both being released with different tastes of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ before each, tons of people were out trying to soak up a sneak peek.  Luckily for anyone who didn’t pay $11.50 to see Sherlock just for Bruce Wayne, or those who held off paying $18.50 to see a 6 minute look at Bane… some DKR stuff just popped up on iTunes.  The second trailer was released earlier today, and when my phone blew up with emails about it, I knew I had to share.

Christopher Nolan-ography.


Director Chris Nolan will probably go down in history for directing “Dark Knight”, but I found out recently that some people are still unfamiliar with his other work.  After digging for a few samples I came across a brilliantly edited video.  Check the method.
