I'm sure you've probably purchased every movie in The Dark Knight trilogy numerous times. Listen, I get it (guilty). But, what if I were to tell you this is the definitive box set, providing the ideal viewing experience in 4K ultra high-definition for Christopher Nolan's impeccable Batman trilogy. At least, until some inevitable new format comes out and it gets rereleased once again. For now, this is the best option. And, it's down to its lowest price ever during Prime Day. So don't wait.
If, by some miracle, you don't already own these movies, then this is your best chance at scoring a great deal as The Dark Knight Trilogy is currently down to its lowest price ever on Amazon, just $28.49 for all three films, during Prime Day.
The Dark Knight Trilogy features all three Christopher Nolan Batman films: Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). This trilogy is a must-have for Batman fans, and honestly, film fans in general. These are all fantastic movies in their own right, but The Dark Knight might go down as one of the best superhero movies of all-time, with a standout performance from Heath Ledger as The Joker.
What we said about The Dark Knight
IGN reviewed The Dark Knight when it first came to theaters all those years ago and gave it a rare 10 out of 10, calling it a masterpiece. Here's a snippet of what we thought in our review.
"It isn't an overstatement to call The Dark Knight the most sophisticated and ambitious work of its kind. Superior to all three Spider-Man installments and even its amazing predecessor in terms of conceptualization, writing, acting, and direction, Nolan's follow-up to Batman Begins is a dark, complex and disturbing film, not the least of which because it grafts its heroics onto the blueprint of actual reality rather than that of spandex-clad supermen. And while such a distinction may make little difference to those already eagerly anticipating the return of the caped crusader, suffice it to say that The Dark Knight qualifies as the first official comic book adaptation that truly succeeds in being a great artistic achievement in its own right." - Todd Gilchrist
The box set currently on sale includes all three films in 4K UHD, plus six standard Blu-Ray discs with each film and all bonus content such as behind-the-scenes documentaries, featurettes, commentary tracks, image galleries, and more.
Should You Buy 4k Movies on Prime Day?
At this price, this is the best deal we've ever seen on this box set in Amazon history. So if you don't already have all of these movies in your collection, Prime Day is certainly the best time to buy it. In general, Amazon tends to have some of its best discounts on movies of the year during this exclusive sale. We'll likely see similar price cuts during Prime Big Deal Days and Black Friday later this year, but right now is generally a great time to buy.
If you're new to collecting physical media, you just need to make sure you actually have a way to play 4K Blu-ray discs before you make a purchase. Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X are capable of playback if they include a disc drive, but otherwise you'll need a dedicated Blu-ray player to actually watch the movies.
