Product Description Dark Knight Trilogy, The Limited Edition (DVD)Christopher Nolan’s award-winning “The Dark Knight Trilogy” includes BATMAN BEGINS, THE DARK KNIGHT and THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. BATMAN BEGINS explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight’s emergence as a force for good. In THE DARK KNIGHT, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague Gotham. However, he soon finds himself prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker. In THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, Batman has vanished into the night, turning from hero to fugitive after assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent. However, with the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose has devised a ruthless plan for Gotham, Bruce is forced out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.]]> Review Batman Begins:Batman Begins discards the previous four films in the series and recasts the Caped Crusader as a fearsome avenging angel. That's good news, because the series, which had gotten off to a rousing start under Tim Burton, had gradually dissolved into self-parody by 1997's Batman & Robin. As the title implies, Batman Begins tells the story anew, when Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) flees Western civilization following the murder of his parents. He is taken in by a mysterious instructor named Ducard (Liam Neeson in another mentor role) and urged to become a ninja in the League of Shadows, but he instead returns to his native Gotham City resolved to end the mob rule that is strangling it. But are there forces even more sinister at hand? Cowritten by the team of David S. Goyer (a veteran comic book writer) and director Christopher Nolan (Memento), Batman Begins is a welcome return to the grim and gritty version of the Dark Knight, owing a great debt to the graphic novels that preceded it. It doesn't have the razzle dazzle, or the mass appeal, of Spider-Man 2 (though the Batmobile is cool), and retelling the origin means it starts slowly, like most "first" superhero movies. But it's certainly the best Bat-film since Burton's original, and one of the best superhero movies of its time. Bale cuts a good figure as Batman, intense and dangerous but with some of the lightheartedness Michael Keaton brought to the character. Michael Caine provides much of the film's humor as the family butler, Alfred, and as the love interest, Katie Holmes (Dawson's Creek) is surprisingly believable in her first adult role. Also featuring Gary Oldman as the young police officer Jim Gordon, Morgan Freeman as a Q-like gadgets expert, and Cillian Murphy as the vile Jonathan Crane. --David HoriuchiThe Dark Knight:The Dark Knight arrives with tremendous hype (best superhero movie ever? posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger?), and incredibly, it lives up to all of it. But calling it the best superhero movie ever seems like faint praise, since part of what makes the movie great--in addition to pitch-perfect casting, outstanding writing, and a compelling vision--is that it bypasses the normal fantasy element of the superhero genre and makes it all terrifyingly real. Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is Gotham City's new district attorney, charged with cleaning up the crime rings that have paralyzed the city. He enters an uneasy alliance with the young police lieutenant, Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), and Batman (Christian Bale), the caped vigilante who seems to trust only Gordon--and whom only Gordon seems to trust. They make progress until a psychotic and deadly new player enters the game: the Joker (Heath Ledger), who offers the crime bosses a solution--kill the Batman. Further complicating matters is that Dent is now dating Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal, after Katie Holmes turned down the chance to reprise her role), the longtime love of Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne.In his last completed role before his tragic death, Ledger is fantastic as the Joker, a volcanic, truly frightening force of evil. And he sets the tone of the movie: the world is a dark, dangerous place where there are no easy choices. Eckhart and Oldman also shine, but as good as Bale is, his character turns out rather bland in comparison (not uncommon for heroes facing more colorful villains). Director-cowriter Christopher Nolan (Memento) follows his critically acclaimed Batman Begins with an even better sequel that sets itself apart from notable superhero movies like Spider-Man 2 and Iron Man because of its sheer emotional impact and striking sense of realism--there are no suspension-of-disbelief superpowers here. At 152 minutes, it's a shade too long, and it's much too intense for kids. But for most movie fans--and not just superhero fans--The Dark Knight is a film for the ages. --David HoriuchiThe Dark Knight Rises:Of all the "most anticipated" movies ever claiming that title, it's hard to imagine one that has caused so much speculation and breathless expectation as Christopher Nolan's final chapter to his magnificently brooding Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. Though it may not rise to the level of the mythic grandeur of its predecessor, The Dark Knight Rises is a truly magnificent work of cinematic brilliance that commandingly completes the cycle and is as heavy with literary resonance as it is of-the-moment insight into the political and social affairs unfolding on the world stage. That it is also a full-blown and fully realized epic crime drama packed with state-of-the-art action relying equally on immaculate CGI fakery and heart-stopping practical effects and stunt work makes its entrée into blockbuster history worthy of all the anticipation and more. It deserves all the accolades it will get for bringing an opulently baroque view of a comic book universe to life with sinister effectiveness.Set eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, TDK Rises finds Bruce Wayne broken in spirit and body from his moral and physical battle with the Joker. Gotham City is at peace primarily because Batman took the fall for Harvey Dent's murder, allowing the former district attorney's memory to remain as a crime-fighting hero rather than the lunatic destructor he became as Two-Face. But that meant Batman's cape and cowl wound up in cold storage--perhaps for good--with only police commissioner Jim Gordon in possession of the truth. The threat that faces Gotham now is by no means new; as deployed by the intricate script that weaves themes first explored in Batman Begins, fundamental conflicts that predate his own origins are at the heart of the ultimate struggle that will leave Batman and his city either triumphant or in ashes. It is one of the movie's greatest achievements that we really don't know which way it will end up until its final exhilarating moments. Intricate may be an understatement in the construction of the script by Nolan and his brother Jonathan. The multilayered story includes a battle for control of Wayne Industries and the decimation of Bruce Wayne's personal wealth; a destructive yet potentially earth-saving clean energy source; a desolate prison colony on the other side of the globe; terrorist attacks against people, property, and the world's economic foundation; the redistribution of wealth to the 99 percent; and a virtuoso jewel thief who is identified in every way except name as Catwoman. Played with saucy fun and sexy danger by Anne Hathaway, Selina Kyle is sort of the catalyst (!) for all the plot threads, especially when she whispers into Bruce's ear at a charity ball some prescient words about a coming storm that will tear Gotham asunder. As unpredictable as it is sometimes hard to follow, the winds of this storm blow in a raft of diverse and extremely compelling new characters (including Selina Kyle) who are all part of a dance that ends with the ballet of a cataclysmic denouement. Among the new faces are Marion Cotillard as a green-energy advocate and Wayne Industries board member and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a devoted Gotham cop who may lead Nolan into a new comic book franchise. The hulking monster Bane, played by Tom Hardy with powerful confidence even under a clawlike mask, is so much more than a villain (and the toughest match yet for Batman's prowess). Though he ends up being less important to the movie's moral themes and can't really match Heath Ledger's maniacal turn as Joker, his mesmerizing swagger and presence as demonic force personified are an affecting counterpoint to the moral battle that rages within Batman himself. Christian Bale gives his most dynamic performance yet as the tortured hero, and Michael Caine (Alfred), Gary Oldman (Gordon), and Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox) all return with more gravitas and emotional weight than ever before. Then there's the action. Punctuated by three or four magnificent set pieces, TDKR deftly mixes the cinematic process of providing information with punches of pow throughout (an airplane-to-airplane kidnap/rescue, an institutional terrorist assault and subsequent chase, and the choreographed crippling of an entire city are the above-mentioned highlights). The added impact of the movie's extensive Imax footage ups the wow factor, all of it kinetically controlled by Nolan and his top lieutenants Wally Pfister (cinematography), Hans Zimmer (composer), Lee Smith (editor), and Nathan Crowley and Kevin Kavanaugh (production designers). The best recommendation TDKR carries is that it does not leave one wanting for more. At 164 minutes, there's plenty of nonstop dramatic enthrallment for a single sitting. More important, there's a deep sense of satisfaction that The Dark Knight Rises leaves as the fulfilling conclusion to an absorbing saga that remains relevant, resonant, and above all thoroughly entertaining. --Ted Fry Review: Great collection! Great price! - I already owned the first two movies on DVD, but purchased this trilogy set anyway because it barely costs more than the third movie by itself. Considering this trilogy doesn't even cost $20, the value here is pretty insane. You get the three best Batman movies to date in a nice folding style case and a "making of" booklet, all contained within a very sturdy and cool looking box. My only gripe is that the art booklet has to be in the box along with the DVD set in order to make everything fit snug. I wish the box width was designed for just the DVDs and the art booklet was separate. Hardly worth knocking a star off for, though. You also get an Ultra-Violet copy with this, but I've heard some pretty bad things about UV. Personally, I don't use digital copies of movies, so I couldn't care less. If you purchased this, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Review: "Why so serious?" - This trilogy pack is beautifully packaged and while worth the money spent. Complete in the package is a booklet, 3 discs that contain beautifully acted and awe-inspiring film chronicle. I personally have never been one to be all that into Batman movies or anything like that, but after hearing all the buzz about Heath Ledger's role as the Joker, I finally caved and bought the trilogy pack...and wow, am I glad I did! The first film, Batman Begins, explains the backstory as to why Batman became who he was bound to become, why he rids Gotham city of evil, and, on top of all of that, has beautiful cinematography and directing chops. You then dig into the second installment of the film, The Dark Knight, which is probably (my personal) the best film in this trilogy. Heath Ledger's acting chops won me over. The hype over the film was well-deserved; his acting was amazing and top-notch. I have yet to watch The Dark Knight rises, but if the first 2 films are any indication of whats in store, I can hardly wait to feast my eyes up on the third film. :) All in all, this 3-disc set is well-worth your money for any avid movie lover/Batman fan.

Can't go wrong with this edition!! A must buy for any Batman Fan!
The cover and the contents of this bare bones set is top notch. I was going to see the third film at the movies until the events that unfolded in the news. For the seventeen dollars and change you get all three movies. The last one, dispite what critics have said, is just as good as the previous films. I ususally like the director's commentary and extras with these sets. There are few extras but the content of these movies more than makes up for it. All three movies are very intense and will last with repeated viewings. I don't have a Blue Ray and really can't afford the cost of upgrading to a new player. However the picture quality is fine and good enough for my current TV set. I'm thinking future editions will have some type of commentary. However there isn't any from the director in this set. The movies are so good that I'm not concerned with that paticular "extra" that could have been added.

Dreams Fulfilled
I got this trilogy set and it is awesome! A lifelong fan of Batman and superheroes, I've seen just about all of my favorites done justice in live action movies. This trilogy hit the peak. Loved each film. I know there are haters out there, people who have some sort of loyalty to Marvel or DC, and simply those who just don't like superheroes. I don't care. I love it; I like Marvel and DC. Like I said though, I think I've reached a peak. I've seen about all I NEED to see(accept a great Superman movie in this modern age. Perhaps Man of Steel will get it right). All in all, I'm satisfied. I'm sure Hollywood will churn out more and more of these movies, and I'm sure we'll get some more good ones, but for me, I'll never have that high level of anticipation as I've had up to The Dark Knight Rises. Batman is my all time favorite hero. And now I have the ultimate trilogy. I just add that to Batman 1989, Spiderman 1 & 2, X2, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Thor, X-Men First Class and The Avengers to just about complete my great superhero movie collection. Nolan has fulfilled my dreams. Great director IMHO. Long live The Dark Knight Trilogy.

Por 17€ gastos de envío gratis (por promoción premium de prueba) no me explico cómo he podido comprar este pedazo de material. Viene en una caja de cartón con relieve perfectamente presentado y de estupenda calidad con un papel pegado con información en italiano. Ese papel hay que tener cuidado al quitarlo porque levanta un poco el cartón negro de la caja y te lo puede estropear. Con un rotulador permanente negro se arregla si se te ve algún puntito blanco. Dentro viene el librito en inglés que está muy bien, con fotografías de las películas muy chulas y esquemas de las pistolas, vehículos, trajes,... Muy chulo. Luego un desplegable de cartón de gran calidad con 3 hojas, 1 blu ray de Batman Begin, 2 de El Caballero Oscuro y 2 de La Leyenda Renace. Son de la misma estética, pero el de la Leyenda Renace viene con logotipos distintos y creo recordar que la advertencia del ministerio de cultura de España, no aparece, y en su lugar aparece una en Italiano. La calidad tanto de las imágenes como del sonido son excepcionales. Todo viene en perfecto castellano, y los extras subtitulados en castellano todos, hasta los trailers. Los extras que traen son brutales, desde un noticiario con presentador y todo, dando las noticias de las apariciones de batman como si de un telediario normal se tratara, hasta Tankman, un video promocional de la MTV con Jimmy Fallon acompañando a batman para la entrega de los MTV Awards. Se puede ver la película con los comentarios vistos en una minipantalla lateral. Se puede poner para que pulsando un botón te mande a un documental de un par de minutos donde te explica cómo se hizo la escena esa en concreto. Se puede hacer un montón de cosas. Tienes horas y horas de material extra de calidad. Es genial. Lo único malo que le veo es que cuando metes el DVD te lo reproduce inmediatamente, no tiene menú de inicio ni trailers promocionales. Le tienes que dar al botón de menú, para que te salga, y la peli no tienes por qué pararla para ver el menú, como en todos los BLURAYS buenos, pero no tiene un inicio de menú propiamente dicho. Lo que por otro lado hace que puedas ver la película mucho antes, sin tener que esperar a trailers, mensajes o cosas por el estilo. Cuestión de gustos. Creo recordar que tampoco tiene la opción que tienen otros Blurays de guardar las escenas que más te gusten, pero no estoy seguro. Es una excelentísima compra por 40€ en DVD, y por 17 en BluRay es una ganga que no te puede faltar.

Ho comprato questo cofanetto a 30 euro: un vero affare considerando l'eccellente rapporto qualità/prezzo. Andiamo con ordine. - L'involucro esterno non è il classico cartoncino insignificante, ma è invece molto solido e piacevole al tatto. Le scritte argentate, in inglese, sono molto belle. Un piccolo appunto. La striscia blu superiore è collegata ad un foglietto illustrativo che continua sul retro: rimuovendo il tutto, come già segnalato da qualche utente, inevitabilmente si va a danneggiare un pò il cofanetto perchè è stata usata una sorta di colla davvero fastidiosa e antipatica. In ogni caso niente di drammatico, però visto che lo sapete fate attenzione. All' interno non ci sono i classici amaray come si potrebbe pensare bensì un unico contenitore che si apre a libretto e contiene i 5 dischi. Su tutti quanti è raffigurato il pipistrello con varianti molto sottili per consentire di distinguere un film dall' altro. L' estrazione dei dischi è un pò difficoltosa perchè bisogna spingere le linguette ai lati di essi e non è possibile la classica "estrazione" a cui siamo abituati. Anche questo contenitore è comunque molto bello esteticamente (con il faccione dell'uomo pipistrello)e gradevole al tatto. Allegato al cofanetto c'è un bellissimo libricino fotografico in cui sono immortalate alcune delle scene più significative della saga accompagnate da altrettante citazioni ad effetto. - Passiamo ai film. Sono tutti e tre stupendi e ripercorrono l'epopea di Batman dalle origini fino alla fine della sua "carriera". Sono film diversi tra loro quindi è inutile stare qui a dire "preferisco questo o quell'altro".Per quanto riguarda il comparto tecnico va detto che Batman Begins lascia veramente a desiderare sia sul versante video (di poco superiore allo standard DVD)che su quello audio, davvero fiacco. A parziale giustificazione si consideri che si tratta di uno dei primi lavori in Blu Ray della Warner, visto che parliamo del 2005. Il discorso cambia totalmente con Il Cavaliere Oscuro con cui il passo in avanti è davvero notevole. Il Bd è degno di essere chiamato tale , con un' audio sempre troppo "semplice" (la Warner non si degna di mettere l' HD neanche su filmoni come questo...misteri...). L'apice si tocca nei 30 minuti di scene girate in IMAX, con una qualità video davvero sorprendente e anche con la scomparsa delle bande nere tipiche del 35mm. Questo spettacolare formato si può ammirare nelle scene panoramiche, nella rapina iniziale, nell' esplosione dell' ospedale ed in altri frangenti che ora non ricordo. Quanto al capitolo conclusivo della saga, pur avendolo visto tre volte al cinema non ho ancora avuto modo di sperimentare il BD e quindi non sono in grado di fornire giudizi. Tenete comunque presente che in questo caso il minutaggio in IMAX sale a 72 minuti quindi sono sicuro che ci sarà di che godere. Scusate se mi sono dilungato troppo, di solito non lo faccio, ma questo prodotto se lo merita davvero quindi non posso far altro che consigliarvelo: la vostra BLUteca si arrichhirà di un pezzo veramente grandioso, fatto bene sotto tutti i punti di vista e offerto ad un prezzo onesto (anche se nel momento in cui scrivo è aumentato a 35 euro).

Hier ist eine Rezension, welche sich ausschließlich auf die Blu-Ray Box bezieht. Auf die Filme gehe ich nicht ein. Ich denke, wer sich solch eine Box für über 50€ kauft, muss ein riesen Fan von den Filmen sein und will, wenn er sich dazu entschließt sich solch eine Box zuzulegen, natürlich alles über das Design der Box wissen. DAS TOLLE ZU BEGINN: Die Klebestreifen sind weg!!! Wenn man die Box neu bekommt ist diese in Folie eingeschweißt. Entfernt man die Folie, so ist die Box von einem Umschlag umgeben, welche mit kleinen Klebestellen an der Box befestigt sind. Bei der bisherigen Box (Nicht die Steelbook-Edition) war das Problem, dass diese Klebestreifen beim Entfernen die Box beschädigen. Ich denke die Entwickler haben daraus gelernt und die Klebestreifen durch kleine Klebestellen ersetzt, welche beim Entfernen die Box komplett unversehrt lassen. WICHTIG ist aber trotzdem, dass man dies vorsichtig macht. Ich habe den Umschlag ganz langsam abgezogen und es ist nichts passiert. Man braucht hier keinen Fön, wie in den anderen Rezensionen erwähnt. Schon einmal toll, dass sich die Entwickler diesmal Gedanken darüber gemacht haben. Generell: Die Box sieht Klasse aus! Sie ist sehr Robust und die Oberfläche ist empfindlich, aber durch das edle Schwarz sehr hochwertig. Das Logo glänzt in einem metallic-look. Das Logo und die Überschrift befinden sich auf Vorder- und Rückseite. Es befinden sich keine FSK-Zeichen oder Sonstiges auf der Vorder- und Rückseite. Diese waren nur auf dem Umschlag, welcher entfernt wird. Die Box ist generell ein toller Hingucker, wenn ich diese zu meiner DVD-Sammlung dazustelle. Wenn man die Box aufklappt, befinden sich dort die 3 Steelbooks und das Buch. Die Steelbooks sind ebenfalls sehr hochwertig und die Front- und Backcover sind klasse! Besonders Geil sieht der Joker auf der Rückseite der "The Dark Knight" Steelbook aus. Auf allen drei Steelbooks sind wie auf der Box selber keine FSK-Zeichen aufgedruckt. Die Box generell ist sehr robust und die Steelbooks passen mit dem zusätzlichen Buch perfekt rein. Meiner Meinung nach gefällt mir diese Steelbook-Edition sehr! Im gegensatz zu der Box, wo alle CD's in einem Schieber gesteckt werden gefällt mir die Variante, dass jeder Film seine eigene Steelbook mit tollen Front cover erhält, wirklich sehr! Ich kann jedem FAN von dieser Trilogy nur empfehlen, diese Box zu kaufen! Ich bin sehr begeistert und vergebe als Großer FAN 5*

Chris Nolan, Christian Bale, and Heath Ledger knew exactly what they were doing when they revised the Batman movie franchise. Between 2005-2012, this was one of the best movie franchise of its day. Story arch was magnificent. Special Features and documentaries are excellent, so is the HD and digital effects. Sound is also incredible. Feels like we are in a movie theatre in the comfort in our own home. This blu-ray set also has nice collectibles. I think this movie franchise is better than the DC Extended Universe.

Con respecto a la calidad física del producto, me llegó en buenas condiciones y a tiempo. Con respecto al contenido, incluye las versiones sencillas en Blu-Ray de la trilogía de The Dark Knight. Aun así, el valor del paquete radica en que a un buen precio puedes obtener las tres magníficas películas que nos brindaron el gran director Christopher Nolan, junto con el escritor David S. Goyer y el excelso compositor Hanz Zimmer. La trilogía de The Dark Knight no son las típicas películas de super héroes, sino que nos muestran una visión realista de Batman, con personajes de habilidades sorprendentes, pero humanos mortales. Si hay algún superpoder que existe, es aquel terrenal llamado dinero. El factor psicológico es el principal elemento a lo largo de la trilogía, explorando la voluntad de vida, qué es la verdadera justicia, y si realmente podemos etiquetar a alguien como bueno o malo. Excelente para todo fan del Caballero de la Noche, fan de Cristopher Nolan, fan del cine de acción, o cinéfilo en general.
