The Dark Knight: IMAX 1.43:1 Restoration Original Title: Batman: The Dark Knight (2008) Faneditor: teymourb Franchise: Batman Fanedit Type: Movie-to-TV Fanedit Release Date: 8th October 2023 Fanedit Runtime: 92 Synopsis: The purpose of this restoration is to recreate the IMAX 1.43:1 presentation of The Dark Knight by combining the widescreen 2.39:1 footage from the Blu-ray and the IMAX 1.43:1 sequences from the Special Features of The Dark Knight Trilogy Blu-ray (Special Edition).
That way, throughout the film, the IMAX scenes expand top and bottom showcasing the full IMAX 1.43:1 frame (instead of the cropped 1.78:1 IMAX frame) while maintaining constant width as it would on an IMAX GT 1.43:1 screen.
