The Ruins is the only thing that interests me on this list. It was far better than people/critics thought, and poor "this-is-your-typical-teen-horror-movie" marketing is what killed it, when it deserved a far better fate.

Im definately going to get The Batman Begins box set on Blu Ray. I would recomend Stop Loss as a rental it was pretty good. Lol a free ticket comes with new edition of Van Helsing! I wouldnt buy that if it came with 20 bucks. And maybe ill rent the Fearless director's cut, I heard Fearless was pretty good but never got time to watch it.

I've read elsewhere that TKD prologue is Blu-ray exclusive and not available in the DVD boxset. Can somebody confirm if this is true?

I can confirm that The Dark Knight prologue is ONLY available on the Blu-ray disc, both the regular and limited editions. It is NOT available on the two-disc DVD, but you do get a two minute sneak peak of The Dark Knight. You also get the 5 postcards in the Blu-ray gift set as well. Rotten Tomatoes should check their sources before posting these details.

So is the IMAX prologue not actually in the theatrical release? I'm a little confused on that.

Thanks, markbart. I've updated the article to reflect the correction. I'd say go for Blu-ray, if you have a player; it's only $5 more on Amazon.

The Blu Ray is the better deal, given you have a Blu Ray player. I would recommend buying the BR gift set at Best Buy because it comes with a special cover or something of the "Stupid Bats" poster.

I can't believe you people can be so easily sucked in by the marketing department at WarnerBros! The Dark Knight is coming out in two weeks, and we all know there's going to be a third movie out before you can say Batman Begins/Dark Knight special DVD set...
Can't you just wait until that inevitable trilogy pack comes out!

I am starting to get really sick of the studios ripping us off with 15 different special editions of everything.

That is very true....The regular DVD edition is available with a 3-minute sneek peek but only the Blu-Ray version has the first 6 minutes.
