The Dark Knight rides back to respectability on Christian Bale's cape in this grim comic book movie adaptation. Fanboys who salivated over the dark look and serious tone of Batman Begins will want to keep everything in the two-disc deluxe edition in mint condition, too. The menu reads in comic book panels, leading to all the information you could need on Batman's tools, weapons, and gadgets. Specifically, you can track the construction of the new and improved Batmobile, as well as the slicker and more versatile bat suit. "The Journey Begins" starts with the genesis of the script, including detailed accounts from director Christopher Nolan about his extended writing sessions with Blade scribe David Goyer. You can also tour the massive set—they built an indoor Gotham strictly for stunts—or, for the less serious fan, check out Jimmy Fallon and Andy Dick in a spoof of the movie. (Which somehow did less to tarnish the franchise than Batman & Robin.)
