The Batman: The Dark Knight DVD and Blu-ray sets released today will be somewhat different than fans might expect. For starters, don’t expect any outtakes or bloopers scenes. In a recent interview with USA Today, Nolan stated, "I don't think it's respectful to the actors, who signed on to have their performance on screen, not the takes that didn't work out. It discourages actors from going all-out if they think every mistake is going on the disc."
Even the ever-present "Deleted Scenes" feature will be absent. Said Nolan, "If it's in the final script, I tend put it on screen."
So, what will you get?
Nolan is highlighting the behind-the-scenes, "Making Of" featurette, which will include a look at alternate shooting angles, stunts and the technology of Batman’s hardware.
Nolan has also said that he has been writing down notes about the possible sequel, but that he has doubts about making a third film in the series:
”…I wouldn't want to do one if it weren't going to be as good as the first or second. That's not respectful to the fans." Batman: The Dark Knight will be released on DVD and Blu-ray today and will be re-released in theaters following the Academy Award nominations on January 23rd.
