The Dark Knight Trilogy: Ultimate Collector’s Edition revealed

While Christian Bale won’t be coming back as Batman anytime soon (if at all), DC and Warner Bros. have a special little sump’m sump’m to make sure his legacy as The Dark Knight won’t be forgotten any time soon (as if that would happen in the first place).

The collection will also include two exclusive featurettes, “The Fire Rises: The Creation and Impact of The Dark Knight Trilogy” and Christopher Nolan & Richard Donner: A Conversation, as an incentive for those who may already own the films on blu-ray. Also included are a 48-page hardcover book featuring art from the films, collectable Hot Wheels toys of the vehicles seen in each film, and art cards created by Mondo. The full list of features is included at the botom of this post. The Dark Knight Trilogy: Ultimate Collector’s Edition will retail for $100.

Are any of you interested in buying the set, or are the added features and memorabilia not enough to supplant the copies you may already own?
