‘The Dark Knight Rises’ releases on DVD and Blu Ray on December 4. Here’s a shot of the limited edition broken cowl edition. Here’s an idea of what we can expect to see:
“The Blu-ray combo pack is stuffed with a bunch of extras, from a documentary about the Batmobile, where all five Batmobiles are together for the first time, to Ending the Knight, an in-depth look featuring about 17 featurettes at how Nolan and his production team made The Dark Knight Rises, from Batman vs. Bane to totally demolishing a city street. Both the Blu-ray and DVD include a featurette called The Journey of Bruce Wayne. There are also trailers and art galleries.”

I got the “The Art and Making of The Dark Knight Trilogy” book in the mail yesterday! Here’s some pics! Can’t go too deep into the book, might be spoilers!
‘The Dark Knight’ Joker cards. From left to right: card that came with the Joker Movie Masters action figure, card that came with the ‘The Dark Knight’ limited edition Nokia phone (yes, I did buy that phone and it was kinda cool), and a special card from Best Buy promoting the Blu Ray release.
From Superherohype:
There was a lot of speculation as to who would be the bad guy in the sequel to the phenomenal The Dark Knight. Fan reaction seemed to be centered on The Riddler and as it turns out WB executives had a similar train of thought.
Batman-News.com had the details on an interview that David S. Goyer did with Empire magazine about the details.
At the premiere for The Dark Knight in 2008 he says the studio already had their mind made up. They said, “it’s gonna be The Riddler, and we want it to be Leonardo DiCaprio…”
The same interview confirms that Nolan and Goyer didn’t even know how the movie would go or who the villain would be until the fall of that year, but they did know how the film would end and Goyer says it hasn’t changed from their original conception. “When Goyer saw that final scene from The Dark Knight Rises, he got a lump in his throat.”
Thoughts on Leo being the Riddler, if it had happened?
