THE DARK KNIGHT RISES ARRIVES ONTO BLU-RAY/DVD COMBO PACK ON NOVEMBER 28 and DVD IN DECEMBER

“The Dark Knight Rises” arrives this holiday season onto Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack on November 28 and DVD in December from Warner Home Video/Typhoon Creations. In the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, Gotham City is threatened by the masked terrorist Bane, forcing Batman to return from an eight-year absence and fight for his city one more time.

Also available will be the free “The Dark Knight Rises” app for IOS 5.0 or higher compatible devices including iPhone and iPad, and Samsung Galaxy devices including S2, S3, Note, Nexus and Tab (operating system requirements vary by device). Building upon the already available “TDKR: Gotham City’s Most Wanted” app, “The Dark Knight Rises” app will be updated in two phases. The first update, which will be available in late October, will include several interactive activities such as a photo application that will allow users to put themselves into a Tumbler, a video application that will allow users to insert a Tumbler into their personal videos, and more. The second update, which will be available on November 28, will integrate second screen functionality into the app. It will allow users to sync compatible mobile devices with the Blu-ray disc via BD-Live enabled Blu-ray players connected to the same Local Area Network to access exclusive bonus content. The bonus content will include film location information, Gotham City maps, film trivia, photo galleries and “making of” featurettes. In addition, the second screen app controls playback of the film on your TV via Blu-ray™ player. “The Dark Knight Rises” app will be available through the iTunes store and Google Play.

“The Dark Knight Rises” will be available on 3-disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack for $44.90 and on 2-disc Special Edition DVD for $26.90. The Combo Pack features the film in hi-definition on Blu-ray and in standard definition on DVD. “The Dark Knight Rises” Blu-ray disc takes advantage of the marriage of IMAX® and 35mm formats by using the hybrid master to replicate the unique theatrical experience of integrated film format. There will also be two limited collector’s packaging for Blu-ray – 2-disc Blu-ray Steelbook with limited edition film cell at $59.90 and 2-disc Blu-ray Lenticular with 6-piece collectible postcards at $44.90.

Also available November 28, just in time for holiday gift-giving, Warner Home Video will release “The Dark Knight Trilogy Limited Edition Giftset,” featuring “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises” all in one collection. Available on Blu-ray or standard definition DVD, “The Dark Knight Trilogy Limited Edition Giftset” will also include a premium book exclusive to the collection, which takes fans deeper into the epic franchise, as well as existing special features. Warner Home Video also plans to release “The Dark Knight Trilogy Ultimate Collector’s Edition” in 2013.
