i voted for brave. i just like the embossed and high gloss artwork, front and back. not a fatboy like TDKR (which is a very close second)...but almost as thick

The Dark Knight Rises Target Exclusive Lentincular

Voted for the grail "TDKR Target LT" it was close between that, the Muller and Jaws but "TDKR Target LT" gets my vote!

 

[Bluprint]

Bump!

For new viewers!

 

[MakeMeHappy]

For me it is the german digibook release of The Dark Knight Rises!

 

[Scholer]

I think Chariots of Fire should be there somewhere too. With all the great digibook releases this year I think this was one title that was way way underrated. The digibook was thick, had some nice trivia in it, some wonderful pictures and the stunningly embossed chariot was a cracker and a big surprise, one of the best embossing on a digibook in a while, even tops the superb embossing on the US 300 Digibook to me. More so because almost did'nt buy it thinking the front artwork was lame, and it turned out to be such a cracker in hand. Plus mentioning that it had a slightly better 4k transfer than the Worldwide Fox releases, and one of the best transfers on 2012. It was the complete package, It's one of those where you feel "Hell, I would'nt need any other edition after this".

Even the French Digibook with the superb front artwork falls badly if seen hand in hand with the superb US one.

I had to vote for Indiana Jones...I really love what they did with it.

but The Dark Knight Rises was my other favorite.

I'd second that - it's a lovely edition

This should be the release of the year....

 

[norvell]

Indiana Jones just beating The Dark Knight Rises

 

[GVZER]

Technically, in my opinion is not a Digibook. Am I correct? Cause if so then that makes Hithcock collection a digibook too?

 

[Polak]

Tough call. Although we had good releases in Austria (Mediabooks) and the Premium Collection editions, I will highlight these: all Disney's Target exclusive, Drive and the two editions of TDKR [US & DE].

But I'll vote for The Dark Knight Rises (Target US) because it has the best of two worlds (it's a digi + lenticular cover).

 

[comixguru]

I really like the overall look of The Dark Knight Rises digibook, made me order the Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Premium digibooks from Amazon.fr. It's nice that's it so wide as those two imports are very big as well.

The lenticular cover is nicely done on this. The comic included, well, it's a comic... and I'm comixguru. How could I not love that.

 

[sackexchange]

I voted for Full Metal Jacket. I mean cmon, its Full Metal Jacket.

 

[Lutzo]

Tough call

I voted for TDKR Mueller, even though the Target one is brilliant also. Drive (CZ and Hungary) as well, but there is only one vote, so.... I LOVE DIGIBOOKS!!

 

[Phi Chong]

I voted for the Drive (Hungary) because the cover really appeals to me. Plus, the pages are very nice and has a premium feel and look to it.

We discussed this a bit when the first Spartacus TV series was released with the cardboard "pages" that store the disks. Had to come down on one side or the other, and so we do include these as digibooks. Although there are quite a few digis released each year, these are still relatively few compared to steels, so I suppose it doesn´t hurt to count them as books!

 

[spartan]

for me TDKR Target Lenticular cover.
You got first lenticular cover with Batman and Bane, nice high quality paper comic book and some artwork pages and the best film of 2012. What a beauty...

 

[GVZER]

I absolutley love TDKR, only thing that bugs me is that its not BD sized

Do you mean the thickness of the digi G:Box? - The height seems to be the same as the other US Warner releases

You are right, i was under the impression it was taller :doh:

I compared it tonight and it's the same.
I would've liked a blu border tho.

I still love it though, first lenti digibook. That speaks for itself.
