with “Batman”

While "The Dark Knight" is still riding high at the box office, Batman fans are already looking forward to the film's release on DVD and Blu-Ray.

With a rumored release date between December 2 and 9, initial information and photos have started trickling out for what will be the 'must-have' DVD this Christmas.

Another thrilling week as come to an end here at Essentials. Topping our list of posts for the last seven days, a new "Batman" game is coming to consoles, Capcom kicks it old school with a new Mega Man game and a few summer blockbusters get DVD release dates.

When "The Dark Knight" stormed into theaters on July 18, there was one notable piece of the (promotional) package missing. Endorsement deals and cross-promotions are unavoidable with any major motion picture release and nearly all of these deals include a (usually crappy) console game.
