The UK branch of Warner Home Entertainment has officially announced and detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of director Christopher Nolan's global blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises (2012), starring Christian Bale, Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway. Street date is December 3rd.

The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray disc takes advantage of the marriage of IMAX and 35mm formats by using the hybrid master to replicate the unique theatrical experience of integrated film formats. The Blu-ray is also available in limited edition Bat Cowl packaging.

Also available on December 3rd, just in time for holiday gift-giving, is The Dark Knight Trilogy Limited Edition Giftset, featuring Batman Begins The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises all in one collection. Available on Blu-ray or standard definition DVD, The Dark Knight Trilogy Limited Edition Giftset will also include a premium book exclusive to the collection, which takes fans deeper into the epic franchise, as well as existing special features.

Note: Please note that HMV will also sell an exclusive SteelBook edition of The Dark Knight Rises. See our listing here.

It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.
