Batman Begins DVD Release

The DVD release for Batman Begins, the latest Batman movie is set for October 18th. I still don’t have many details about DVD extras etc. but I do have some general information about the DVD release. Of particular interest I think is that there will not only be a regular DVD release but also a 2 disc deluxe DVD edition as well.

Batman Begins (Deluxe Edition)

Pre-Order Batman Begins at Amazon

Synopsis: Batman Begins explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight’s emergence as a force for good in Gotham. In the wake of his parents’ murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.

Director: Christopher Nolan
