The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight films available on 4K UHD, ranked by transfer quality.

The Dark Knight(2008)

dir. Christopher Nolan

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.

The Dark Knight Rises(2012)

7.8/10

S-Tier

Warner S-Tier 4K. Available individually or as part of the Dark Knight Trilogy steelbook collection. The IMAX sequences are why people buy the set even though some prefer Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

C-Tier

C-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The weak link in the Nolan Batman trilogy on 4K. Dark Knight and Rises look much better.
