I'm guessing there will be a super duper special edition down the line right? Even the 2 disc set looks way to bare bones.

There is no writing on the Steelbook at all. It will have a paper insert with the text and UPC symbol, but the picture of the Joker is on the back.
Here's what it looks like:
Just might be worth the prices on ebay
BTW FYE has the steelbook DVD version.WTH!!!!!
I hate to be that person that pulls out the "American" card, but damn it, This movie made half a billion dollars DOMESTICALLY and yet America gets the short end of the stick with the dvd/blu-ray packages.
The Dark Knight Germany Imports :
The Dark Knight - Regular Edition (Region Free)
The Dark Knight - Steelbook (Region Free)
The Dark Knight - Collector's Edition with Batpod in a Glass Case (Region Free)
The Dark Knight / Batman Begins Bundle - Steelbook (Region Locked)
That batpod version looks so much better than the crappy toy one bestbuy has.

These seem like pretty good extras (although the lack of a audio commentary nowadays is just plain lazy):
Focus Points (HD, 65 minutes) - With the absence of any audio commentary on the disc, this pseudo-PIP track has to take up most of the slack. There is roughly one hour of total behind-the-scenes footage (in 1080i/VC-1 video) spread out over approximately 18 vignettes that span the runtime of the film. During playback, you must manually click your remote when an icon appears (or simply pull them up directly from the Extras submenu), which will then branch off to the full-screen segment before returning you to the movie. I find this an ungainly approach considering Blu-ray is capable of much better interactivity. In any case, the material is repurposed for the most part from the other, stand-alone featurettes on the second disc. Sparse cast and crew appearances are featured (all taken on-set or shortly after production was completed), and focus almost entirely on the action, stunts and costumes, so as a straight making-of this is a good piece. If you want focus and perspective on the 'Dark Knight' phenomenon and the film's incredible popularity, look elsewhere.
Disc Two:
Documentary: "Batman Tech" (HD, 45 minutes) - The first of the two main docs, there is some overlap with the Focus Points on disc one. The title is self-explanatory, with a look at the various bat gadgets, gear and vehicles (of which there is little compared to previous Batman incarnations). There is a glossy, promotional feel to this doc, but it's relatively neat stuff to watch.
Documentary: "Batman Unmasked" (HD, 45 minutes) - The second doc feels even more like a fluff piece you'd see to promote the movie on E! or the like. A host of comic book historians, psychologists and criminologists are on hand to discuss the inner-workings of Batman's mind, as well as the general freakdom of the comic book character. I always enjoy these contextual documentaries, though in light of the paucity of genuine behind-the-scenes material on 'The Dark Knight,' this winds up coming off as marketing padding.
Shorts: "Gotham Tonight" (HD, 46 minutes) - Kicking off the "Extras" section (which is odd, since all the supplements are extras, right?) are six faux-Gotham newscasts. These are fun to watch for a while if, perhaps, overkill in the end.
Still Galleries (HD) - There are five robust galleries, with about 60-odd photos each: Concept Art, Poster Art, Production Stills and the quite intriguing Joker Cards. You can watch the stills go by automatically, or use your manual Play/Pause to go step-by-step.
Theatrical Trailers/TV Spots (HD) - A theatrical teaser and two trailers are included, plus no less than six TV spots. And I must say, these are the best looking TV spots I've ever seen, presented in 2.40:1 widescreen and full 1080i/VC-1 video and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround.
Disc Three:
Digital Copy (SD) - Finally, we have a Digital Copy of the film compatible with PCs, PSP, and iTunes. (Standard-definition video only.)
These come from the review of the movie at http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/1825/darkknight.html
Apparently the only Blu-ray exclusive feature is support for BD-Live.

It find it incredibly hard to believe that ANYONE who saw ANY marketing for the film whatsoever, be it a commercial, trailer, photos, whatever, wouldnt know that The Joker was the centrepiece.
Same with people who "didnt know" Joker was the bank robber in the first scene. Really?

I didn't know.
Batman Begins were a terrible movie (yeah, I said it) so I wasn't even remotely excited for Dark Knight. Combine that with the fact that I rarely watch tv, and you've got a person who knew next to nothing about the movie before walking into the theater.
Having the Joker be such an incredible character really made the movie for me. It was a very nice surprise.
Also... am I seeing this right? Are there no deleted scenes on the DVD? Those are always the best part.

I know. I completely wasted my money on the two-disc "special edition." I should have gotten the standard one. It has a better cover too, and it came packaged with the Two-Face coin and some comics at Walmart.BlackGoku03 said:
