When it’s released next Tuesday, you can be sure that THE DARK KNIGHT will break pretty much all available home video records. DVD, Blu-ray, sales, rentals…the whole magilla. But THE DARK KNIGHT has already set a pretty impressive record. Apple announced that the film is the best-selling downloadable movie on iTunes and it isn’t even available for download yet. Based solely on pre-sales, TDK easily beat the runners-up WALL-E, KUNG-FU PANDA, IRON MAN and NATIONAL TREASURE 2. Pretty impressive stuff. I’d personally lean more towards seeing THE DARK KNIGHT in Blu-ray on a big screen TV (especially with BD-Live features that have Chris Nolan chatting live with millions of Batfans worldwide) rather than on my tiny iPod screen but this is perhaps a sign that movie downloads are here to stay and may compete with DVD at some point in the future. Or maybe it’s just that DARK KNIGHT fans are absolutely batshit insane with excitement.
