You can now pre-order the year’s best film so far, the astonishing THE DARK KNIGHT which has now been given a firm U.K. release of Dec. 8th and an expected release a day later in the U.S. according to Blu-Ray.com.

Artwork is being kept under-wraps at the moment, hopefully a nice cover of Heath Ledger in a James Cagney-esque pose is on it’s way rather than this fan-made one from the main poster which I was never all that keen on…

This looks to be the assembled lot of features, which again sadly does not contain a Chris Nolan commentary, though at least he does go into depth on the extra’s for his movies. He did on BATMAN BEGINS anyway…

• “Gotham Discovered: The Creation of a Scene” – Christopher Nolan and his collaborators unveil details on the planning of the movie, including stunt double work, how was filming in IMAX done, and information about the new Bat-suit, Bat-pod, etc.
• “Batman Technology: Gadgets and Tools” (in HD)
• “Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight” (in HD)
• “The World of Batman Seen Through Real Life Psychotherapy” (in HD)
• 6 clips from the Gotham Cable Premier’s newscast: “Tonight in Gotham”
• Galleries
  • The Joker’s letters
  • Conceptual Art
  • Posters
  • Production Stills
• Trailers and TV spots

Don’t those extra’s sound mighty interesting? “The World Of Batman Seen Through Real Life Psychotherapy”, just sounds so intriguing.

You can pre-order the movie now for a very reasonable £14.99 from HMV.
