This time, Heath Ledger joins the cast as The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart stars as Harvey Dent in an all-new adventure of The Dark Knight. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and new district attorney Harvey Dent(Eckhart--Thank You for Smoking), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham City forever. The three enjoy early success, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Ledger--Brokeback Mountain), who throws Gotham into anarchy and forces Batman ever closer to crossing the line between hero and vigilante. SPECIAL FEATURES Review: The movie that should have been called "The Joker" (a review from a Heath's fan) - The Dark Knight was released on July 14, 2008, almost 6 months after Heath’s death. The film started filming on April 2, 2007 and finished filming on October 19, 2007. I personally found the plot weak and the casting (besides Heath, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman) not quite convincing. The love story between Rachel and the other guy (I forgot his name, since his character is so easy to forget) has neither magic nor depth. I think it could have been much more interesting to explore the relationships between the characters and to tell much more of the Joker’s story instead of so many explosions, fights and guns. Nevertheless, it’s a good movie for teenagers (although very violent) and for people who love comic-book heroes. The special effects are spectacular, and the Joker and the music (Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard) are definitely the best of the film. Heath’s portrayal of the Joker is so good that when he is not on screen the movie really goes down, and when he appears, one cannot take the eyes off of him. The Joker is so cool and brilliant that one really wants him to win the battle. Although not a fan of comic books, Heath said that “the character of the Joker was too good to turn down”. Heath wasn’t a fan of blockbuster movies neither, but the character was too attractive: “in this monster machine of a movie, popcorn movie … it was purely a character choice, I can honestly say that”. He thought that Jack Nicholson’s portrayal of the Joker was perfect (“To touch what Jack Nicholson did in Tim Burton’s world would be a crime”), and he never compared himself to Nicholson because he really believed that the worlds of Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan are completely different, and therefore, uncomparable: “It was an opportunity for a new version of the Joker”. Although Heath knew immediately after being asked to play the Joker how he wanted to do it (“I knew 5 seconds later exactly how to play it”), he locked himself up in a hotel room in London for 6 weeks in order to prepare his character, looking for the Joker’s voice and looking for his laugh: “I locked myself away for 6 weeks in a room and I kind of came up with this creep”. He wrote a diary about the Joker he was going to portray with notes, drawings and photos of old Batman Comics, hyenas and A Clockwork Orange. His father shows the diary in the great German TV series-Documentary Too Young to Die: Heath Ledger (S1, Ep. 3, July 28, 2012). I bought the Documentary in English from the producers of the show and I can say that it is the best documentary about Heath that I’ve seen. Kim Ledger says, showing “the Joker” diary: “He galvanized the upcoming character in his own mind. That was typical of Heath … this was just on a whole new level”. The diary ends with the words “Bye, bye”, which are, after Heath’s death, very painful. There are many stupid speculations about how portraying the Joker led Heath to exhaustion and death, but the truth is that, although the character required a high level of energy, “it was incredibly enjoyable”. Heath said in many interviews that he had a lot of fun playing the Joker: “The Joker was … the most fun I ever had … probably ever will have playing a character”. He described the Joker as a “dark, very nasty … psychopath, sociopath, mass-murdering clown”. The Joker was not only evil but something else: “He’s not just gonna be scary … there are [a] few surprises, I think”. Sadly, Heath didn’t see any takes or parts of the film, because the producers were very secretive about it: “I think the movie is going to be awesome. I’m very excited for it. I haven’t seen anything. Nothing. They really don’t want anyone to see anything. It’s very secretive. But just from what I’ve seen first hand and just from what I’ve heard, I think it’s going to be good”. The movie is “In memory of our friends Heath Ledger and Conway Wickliffe”. Wickliffe (1966–2007) was killed on set while filming a test run / Antonia Tejeda Barros (Spain) Review: Great movie and always good to own a physical copy these days - Great movie and always good to own a physical copy these days ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Aaron Eckhart, Christian Bale, Christopher Nolan, Cillian Murphy, Gary Oldman, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Caine, Monique Gabriela Curnen, Morgan Freeman, Ron Dean Contributor Aaron Eckhart, Christian Bale, Christopher Nolan, Cillian Murphy, Gary Oldman, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Caine, Monique Gabriela Curnen, Morgan Freeman, Ron Dean See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 18,367 Reviews | | Format | 4K | | Genre | action_&_adventure | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Warner Bros | | Number of discs | 3 | | Runtime | 2 hours and 32 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** 4K - **Genre:** action_&_adventure - **Language:** English - **Number of discs:** 3 - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 32 minutes ## Images ![The Dark Knight Ultimate Collector's Edition 4K Ultra HD Steelbook [4K Ultra HD] [2008] [Blu-ray] [Region Free] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uKGo7tXFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The movie that should have been called "The Joker" (a review from a Heath's fan) *by A***S on 3 January 2016* The Dark Knight was released on July 14, 2008, almost 6 months after Heath’s death.

This is not just a superhero movie, it is a serious film made by serious film-makers. It should rightly go down in history as a classic of the genre and as one of the best films Nolan has directed. Gushing aside, it plays as a really great action film as well as having moments of real emotion and subtlety that complement the story, which is both epic and intimate. Christian Bale is a good Batman but a great Bruce Wayne. It is here where the direction of the film is interesting. Most interpretations of the character have the alter ego hero as the created personality. Nolan switches it to impart Wayne's pompous behaviour and rich-kid shenanigans as the made-up part of the man; Batman is who Wayne really is. But Bale is not the best thing here. Ledger apart, Gary Oldman proves once again that he is one of the best character actors who ever lived as the unassuming and kind Commissioner Gordon, and manages to physically change the role of hero over to himself. Batman is the muscle - Gordon is the real hero. But the most significant reason to watch the film is of course for the late Heath Ledger's stunning performance as the Joker. Bringing the character from the comics alive and making him relevant and real, Ledger eats up EVERY scene he is in with no exception. Even his failed attempt at the end of the film to foresee how strong willed the Gotham populace really are was a triumph as his mania simply cannot be quelled. The final shot of him dangling in the air, upside-down, laughing incessantly at the chaos he had caused is just, well, right. And the fact that it doesn't end as such, but almost begins a new narrative as Batman becomes public enemy no 1 in order to preserve the memory of Harvey Dent, to preserve the sanity of the collective mind of Gotham, brings to mind other classic 2nd films like The Empire Strikes Back where the action is left hanging. A triumph on all counts. Cannot wait for the 3rd installment. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/413300620-the-dark-knight-ultimate-collectors-edition-4k-ultra-hd-steelbook](https://www.desertcart.us/products/413300620-the-dark-knight-ultimate-collectors-edition-4k-ultra-hd-steelbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
