The 4K is a real upgrade over the Blu-ray, which had noticeable sharpening and DNR issues. The IMAX sequences are some of the sharpest footage you'll see on the format, and the 35mm scenes are a solid improvement too. Batman Begins is the disappointing one on 4K, but Dark Knight and Rises both look great. The trilogy steelbook set has been through multiple exclusive editions and the artwork reveals always get a lot of attention.

No 4K scan exists for this one because it was shot on standard definition digital video. The upcoming Sony steelbook is an upscale from 480p source material. The current Blu-ray already looks rough, and the hope is that Sony's upscaling and HDR grading can at least make it watchable. The Raid pulled off a similar trick with low-res source and turned out well.
