Good news for us Batfans who have Blu-Ray......

cool, looks like my ps3 will be worth it

 

^I bought mine in november and haven't had one regret since.

cant wait until Batman Begins and the past 4 films are released on blu. this means TDK will be Blu-ray exclusive!!!! sweet.

 

I hope a Blu-eay Box set is made for all films.

 

Just thinking of watching Batman (1989) and Batman Returns in true high def makes me get goosebumps! They look wonderful upconverted but a good upconvert could never beat hi-def.

 

hopefully they will give us more features on any future release.

 

I still need to buy a PS3. Then I'll start my Blu-Ray and new generation game collection.

 

Same!!

I'm honestly not a big gamer - i only buy the batman/ other superherogames(every once in a while). I still have the PS2 and it would kill me if 'The Dark Knight' video game came out next year(edit: THIS YEAR i meant and good thing too!) and everyone was singing its praises.


A few new games and i can start a blu ray collection - yep, the PS3 definitely sounds worth it??

 

I doubt it. It will be bare bones at first.

 

It won't be the same as movies of this generation that were filmed in HIGH DEF., though.

 

I guess I need a PS3 ASAP. That is the best bargain for the technology, correct?

 

awesome so i dont get to own tdk.... to hell with blu ray

 

It's a format war. One side was going to lose eventually. Blu-Ray had lots of support from the computer and videogame industries, plus more studio support than HD-DVD. Either format was a risk for early adopters, but HD-DVD was a bigger risk. I myself am greatly looking forward to getting BB on Blu-Ray at long last. That was one of the titles where it burned me up that it was HD-DVD only, especially since WB (until dropping HD-DVD) was format neutral.

 

Yeah man, it is still coming out on DVD. It is **** that Batman Begins was on only HD DVD and we got stuck with Superman Returns on Blu-Ray.

Ah well, The Dark Knight will look brilliant. Those scenes that were shot in iMax especially good!

 

Agreed on all points. I LOVE my PS3. I can't wait to watch TDK and BB on Blu-Ray.

 

Yes add me to the list of eager fans. By the way to those with a 3 add me tigerranger2

 

Will a Forever director's edition ever see the light of day? I certainly hope so! It was a really "fun" bats movie back in the original 4, as cheesy as it was, it's pure nostalgia! But too many of the better scenes were cut out (Two-Face's escape, Bruce falling into a cave and seeing a giant Bat, Riddler beating on a security guard with his cane after not being able to punch him out).

 

quick noob question i guess, whats the benefits of blu-ray? i have a PS3 but no b-rays j/w what theyre for

 

They're for watching movies in high definition. If you have an HDTV, you get superior image quality than with DVD.

 

But I doubt that the image quality for the old movies will be far superior.

 

It depends on how old the film is, and it depends on wether or not it's been optimised for HD. I have the Fugitive on Blu-Ray, and the picture quality is terrible (I have a lot of DVDs that look better). However Blade Runner looks perfect, even though it's 20 years old, because they restored it properly. Life of Brian (an even older film) is being released soon too, and it's supposedly been digitally restored for HD, so it'll probably have very good image as well. It all depends on wether or not the studio was willing to spring for a digitial restoration when they decided to release an old film in HD.
