S-Tier Paramount 4K. Crystal Skull is the Indy film nobody loves but everyone buys to complete the set. Paramount released individual steelbooks after the box set, leaving anyone who bought the collection feeling like they'd been double-dipped. The 4K set also had loose discs rattling around inside the case on arrival, which didn't help.

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.
