GOTHAM BOUND!

So I know that I’m about a month late but today I FINALLY purchased The Dark Knight on DVD. If you know me well enough then you’d know that I am a huge Batman fan and love just about anything related to my favorite Superhero.

Although many would disagree that TDK is a superhero at all since he fails to possess any “Superpowers” I have to completely disagree. He may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, run circles around is opponents or move objects with his mind. But Batman has the one thing that many other superheroes lack... Angst! He is in a constant state of distress, tormented by the murder of his parents, and he uses that pain as fuel to fight his adversaries. In other words he’s the only hero that is pissed off enough to face criminals. Sooooo Bad ass!

His physical strength may not be at par with the likes of Superman but his psychological profile makes him a worthy accomplice (This means he’s CRAZY enough to do it). Being a billionaire helps a little too haha.

The DVD on the other hand was a HUGGEE disappointment! Obviously the film itself is awesome, but they dropped the ball with the Special Features. This “Two Disk Special Edition” includes the movie on disc 1 (with zero commentaries mind you) and the 2nd disc includes all this random crap that is not insightful at all. As a filmmaker I must say I was tremendously under whelmed by this package.

I know what your thinking… “Why didn’t you just get the Blu-Ray version?” or “Why didn’t you just wait for the collectors edition?” THAT’S NOT THE POINT! Sorry for yelling at you but I don’t have a Blu-Ray player (yet) and I couldn’t wait anymore. My guess is that Director Chris Nolan and ‘em didn’t want to give up all their secrets.

They did include a nifty catalogue though. Maybe I’ll get myself a $79 Batarang Money Clip.

Anyhooo.. I still love Batsy! Any incarnation works for me. Well not so much that 1960 version. Can you say POW! WAM! CRASHHH!
