Details Emerge About The Dark Knight's Audio and Extras


Posted September 19, 2008 03:03 PM by J.C. Ribera

Warner Bros. The PlanetaHD site from Spain is reporting the first detailed information about the audio and supplements to be included on Warner's 'The Dark Knight' Blu-ray Disc release. The highly anticipated title will have a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack and will be issued in a two-disc edition.

In addition to the movie itself, the first disc will include the "Gotham Discovered: The Creation of a Scene" extra where Director Christopher Nolan and his collaborators unveil details on the planning of the movie, including stunt double work, how the filming in IMAX was done and information about the new Bat-suit, Bat-pod, etc.

The second disc will include the following documentaries: "Batman Technology: Gadgets and Tools" (in HD), "Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight" and "The World of Batman Seen Through Real Life Psychotherapy" (in HD), 6 clips from the Gotham Cable Premier's newscast: "Tonight in Gotham", plus art galleries on the Joker's letters, conceptual art, posters, production stills, trailers, and TV spots.

We'll keep you posted as more details come out.

Nice! This movie was excellent. I expect a double-dip with a 7.1 soundtrack out later.

I'm still very curious to hear about the standard vs. IMAX footage and how it might be included (via seamless branching) etc.

I saw this movie at iMAX...definitely worth it. Regardless of surround sound, the HD sound at 5.1 should be more than sufficient. Can't wait to see the disappearing pencil trick in high-def!

I'm okay with lossless 5.1 - it's better than 640 Kbps Dolby 5.1 or, worse yet, Dolby 2.1 surround.

I am ok with 5.1 over 7.1, although I would have liked it, but I am surprised it isn't DTS-MA. I am sure it will sound good either way, but I prefer DTS.

I Dont trust Warner with the audio department, especially with the credit crunch. I'll definately wait until somone confirms officially it has lossless, even on a title like this I'll wait, because there's a high chance it will be dolby digital, like most of their other titles.

It's too bad that the best film of the year is being released on Blu-Ray by the studio with the worst track record for quality. I'll believe this announcement when it matches the press release from Warner. Even then...I'll believe it when I'm holding the disc in my hand on December 9th.

The Dark Knight audio wasn't made for 7.1 sound. 5.1 sound is enough.

I know Warner doesn't do DTS but at least give us a PCM track.

I can deal without the 7.1, but it would have been nice to have DTS core track over Dolby. It's Warner, though...I am not surprised. Either way, December can't get here fast enough.

So this film was made for 5.1 (not 5.1 EX/ES) and you guys were expecting 7.1... why? It was intended for 5.1, the release is in 5.1, TrueHD is the same as DTS-HD MA (aside from the lossy parts), and yet people are still complaining about both... Sad...
