So as I understand it, when you watch Dark Knight at home, most of the movie will look like any other film--with the movie letterboxed and black bars above and below the image. But when the IMAX portions begin, the picture will expand out and fill the entire widescreen. There will be some cropping for the IMAX parts, since IMAX is usually much taller than the 16:9 ratio of the TVs. The Batman Begins Blu Ray has a taste of this feature--it's got the opening bank robbery sequence as an extra feature in IMAX. It fills the screen and looks pretty sweet. http://www.homemediamagazine.com/new...ticle_id=13113 HDTVs have an aspect ratio of 1.78:1. The IMAX portions of TDK will have an aspect ratio of 1.71:1, so there will be small-ish black pillars on the sides. The rest of the movie will be 2.35:1.
