Christopher Nolans Excellent Screen Conversion of The Caped Crusader
Both films are set in the dark and dirty city of Gotham, the stories follow Batman as he fights crime and generally saves the day.
Batman Begins: This film basically sets the scene for the probable next few batman films, we see bruce waynes story from the murder of his parents... to overcoming personal demons and rising to become the batman. While stopping along the way to kick Scarecrow butt.
Dark Knight: This time the caped crusader is feeling like packing in his job as the Batman, theres a new politician in town... a Mr Harvey Dent,and he is doing a great job of cleaning up Gotham so why would Gotham need a Vigilante..... because the jokers in town thats why. I have to honestly say joking aside.... Heath Ledgers performance in this film is nothing short of AMAZING, he will make you walk around asking people " Why So Serious" Trust Me.... buy this film... just to see him in his final and finest hour.
Final Thoughts: I think this is a fairly good value for money box set. Prices on Blu Ray can stil be a bit high so i thought this was a bargain . One last thing i do feel though..... At the moment i feel the difference between Blu Ray and normal DVD on a HDTV isnt enough to convince me to pay an extra ten pounds for a movie.
So.... If you are definately moving into Blu Ray... Buy this If you dont yet have Blu ray... Dont worry, You can pick both movies up for under £15 if you know where to look.

You have the beginnings of a good reveiw, but reviews need much more detail - see reviews rated 'Very Helpful' and you'll get the idea! Just saw 'Dark Knight' recently, and I agree, Heath Ledger's performance was absolutely awe-inspiring and definitely the best thing in the film - such a tragedy he's no longer with us.
