Blu-ray.com is reporting what are the first details that have been released about the forthcoming Dark Knight DVD set. Unfortunately, no official release date has been set yet for the DVD, but we do know a little bit now about what special features will be on the 2 disc set.
In addition to the movie itself, the first disc will include the "Gotham Discovered: The Creation of a Scene" extra where Director Christopher Nolan and his collaborators unveil details on the planning of the movie, including stunt double work, how the filming in IMAX was done and information about the new Bat-suit, Bat-pod, etc.
The second disc will include the following documentaries: "Batman Technology: Gadgets and Tools" (in HD), "Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight" and "The World of Batman Seen Through Real Life Psychotherapy" (in HD), 6 clips from the Gotham Cable Premier's newscast: "Tonight in Gotham", plus art galleries on the Joker's letters, conceptual art, posters, production stills, trailers, and TV spots.
The thing that sounds the most interesting to me is the "Batman Seen Through Real Life Psychotherapy" extra. Did they actually get real PhD psychologists to discuss the emotionally messed up Bruce Wayne? If so, that's hilarious. Maybe I'm just a psych nerd (I do have a degree in Psychology afterall) but this sounds like it has the potential to be vastly entertaining. Real life psychologists discussing the Joker and Batman and breaking down what their particular psychological disorders would be if they were real people. You can't get any more entertaining than that as far as I'm concerned.
Also, it wasn't mentioned above, but I'm sure we'll see a slew of other extras, such as audio commentary tracks and subtitles and blah blah blah. What we really want to know though is whether there are going to be any deleted scenes included with the set. I'm dying to see more Joker scenes with Heath Ledger.
