The Dark Knight coming to DVD Dec. 9
Mark your calendars. The second-highest grossing film of all time (domestic) and biggest superhero film ever is coming to a store near you on Dec. 9. Amazon.com is taking pre-orders for the incomparable Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight, as I type this. (It’s also available on Blu-ray Disc and as a Two-Disc Special Edition.)
The December DVD date makesThe Dark Knight a super stocking stuffer this holiday season, and it also gives the picture (and, of course, Heath Ledger) a big push ahead of this year’s Oscar balloting. Nomination ballots go out on Dec. 26.
I may not love the film, but I’m rooting for it. The Oscars need a big audience this year, and there’s no faster way to record ratings than to nominate The Dark Knight for anything it’s eligible for.
