| Special Features: |
- Prologue (HD 6 min.): The Dark Knight presented in a 1.80:1 aspect ratio at 1080p resolution. The scene shows a bank heist orchestrated by The Joker (Heath Ledger) and his cohorts--each with a clown-face mask. The scene is shot, acted and produced impeccably for IMAX. In addition to whetting viewers' appetites for the sequel, the reference quality of the prologue shows the shortcomings (both video and audio) of Batman Begins.
- Picture-in-Picture: The PiP material showcases director Christopher Nolan and all the major actors of Batman Begins.
- Genesis of the Bat (SD - 15 Min.): Genesis of the Bat is an amalgam of several on-set interviews--mostly from Nolan and screenwriter David S. Goyer--to explain the conception of Batman Begins to reset the Batman saga.
- Batman: The Journey Begins (SD - 14 Min.) It focuses on the film's casting of such stars as Christian Bale, Katie Holmes and Cillian Murphy, among the other actors that helped Batman Begins achieve success.
- Path to Discovery (SD - 14 min.) documents the film's opening footage shot in Iceland and the challenges of shooting in a cold climate.
- Saving Gotham City (SD - 13 Min.) featurette focuses on the film's action sequences. Nolan sought to minimize computer-generated graphics and developed better ways to shoot the scenes.
- Shaping Mind and Body (SD - 13 Min) this documentary shows why Bale is actually the most successful actor to try on the Batsuit. The behind-the-scenes footage and interview commentary document the way Bale worked hard at his role while effortlessly latching on to the concepts laid out by Nolan and Goyer.
- Gotham City Rises (SD - 13 Min.) Showcases the design team that put together the most elaborate incarnation of Gotham City. By combining designed sets with existing structures, the film achieved an amazing metropolitan look, ranging from the luxurious sets of Wayne Manor to the precarious elevated train to the slums of Gotham's "The Narrows" district.
- Cape and Cowl (SD - 8 Min.) documentary focuses on the Batsuit from a conceptual, technical and practical perspective. It shows how much work went into every detail of Batman's outfit.
- Batman: The Tumbler (SD - 14 Min.) featurette showcases the Batmobile, from Nolan's original vision as a cross between a Hummer and a Lamborghini to Katie Holmes' take on the vehicle.
- Still gallery from standard definition PR campaigns
- Aset of SD confidential files showing conceptual animated text pages
- An MTV spoof entitled Tankman Begins, from the 2005 MTV Movie Awards
- High definition theatrical trailer (abbreviated version).
