Warner Bros has finally offi­cially announced that the release date for the Dark Knight on DVD and Blu-ray will be Decem­ber 9th.  Check out the cov­ers for these and the spe­cial 2-Disc Lim­ited Edi­tion set.

On the scale of fan cre­ated works, this ranks very highly.

Chris has pointed out that this was not in the movie — maybe there are some more Joker scenes wait­ing for us on the DVD release, or a director’s cut? We can only hope. Where do you thing this would have fit into the movie?

Flickr user Peter­Punker was lucky enough to be invited to one of Th Dark Knight’s pre­mieres in Europe. He has posted some pic­tures to let us know what we are missing:

The ArcLight the­ater in Hol­ly­wood is cur­rently play­ing host to both the Joker cos­tumer and the new Bat suit, along­side some of the masks worn by The Joker’s hench­men — all on dis­play for pub­lic view­ing (any­one fancy head­ing down there and get­ting some high res­o­lu­tion shots?):
