The Dark Knight: The First Warner Film With BD-Live

Disney isn’t the only one releasing Blu-ray movies with BD-Live, a feature that enables you access content via the Internet. Warner Home Video has announced its first BD-Live enabled Blu-ray film will be The Dark Knight.

Some of the features included with the movie are My WB Commentary, which allows users to record their own commentary on the movie and overlay in picture-in-picture style on the film as it plays. Additionally, The Dark Knight will feature BD-Live community to allow fans to schedule screenings with friends and chat with other viewers as the movie plays. Look for the Blu-ray version on store shelves December 9th.

The Dark Knight Edition Xbox 360

Yup. You read correctly. You, sirs, are staring at a brand-spankin’ new Xbox 360 from Taiwan. The catch? It’s an extremely limited edition The Dark Knight Xbox 360. Kind of like getting a BJ from Megan Fox while Michael Jordan high fives you. Good luck getting your own. You may very well end up making your own.

Custom Joker Shoes Make Others Look Nervous

Know what makes people go batshit? The Dark Knight. Get it? Get it? C’mon!

Shitty jokes aside, check out these custom-made Converse Chucks from SweatShop Clothing. Looks like the design team over there really had a hard-on for Heath (RIP) as they really went to town on this pair of kicks. All four suits in a deck of cards plus an image of the Joker’s face add to the look, including text that says “WHY SO SERIOUS?” That should be enough to send chills down your spine if you saw the movie.

The Dark Knight Reviewed

I’m not going to sit here and discuss the movie with you. I’m not going to reveal spoilers, what I like, what I didn’t like or anything of the sort. Instead, you must see it. The movie is near flawless and is now my favorite movie ever. The cast gives a mind-blowing performance, with Aaron Eckhart and Heath Ledger handling the villains of the movie with incredible demeanor. Bale is still one of the best at playing Batman and Maggie Gyllenhall handles the role of Rachel much better than Katie Holmes did in Batman Begins.

There’s more ass-kissing to be done but seriously, you need to see this movie on the big screen. Sure, about five different CAMs are available, including the 2Bros release I got the other night. Just see it in the theater, I must insist. This is a movie literally made for the silver screen (six scenes were shot with IMAX cameras) and I’m so happy I could see it opening night to help contribute to the whopping 8 RECORDS it broke. Those records?

The Definitive Dark Knight Figure

Oh snap! The Dark Knight is just around the corner and if you’re as psyched about it as I am you’d have already purchased your ticket.

So stop the press. Fucking stop it. Behold, 12″ figures resembling the Batman and his ensemble of teched out transports. These replicas are of the highest detail of any Batman toy I’ve ever seen. Look at Batman’s face, he looks like he’s Christian Bale rendezvousing with a call girl. He’s got business and it’s not with the Joker. Coming soon in late 2008.
