Blue Ray keeps chnaging between black bars and no bars???
Discussion
The Dark Knight is one of the few movies that changes its aspect ratio throughout the film.
It's normal... for this one anyway.
The first scene is 16:9, and it jumps between this and 2.35:1. This needs the black bars to fit the width of the picture on to the screen.
Think of the 16:9 image on a 4:3 TV. We used to have that problem. The problem we now have is 2.35:1 images on 16:9 screens. With a fourway masking projector screen, this is allways taken care of

I found that I could cut out this AR change by setting my VP to crop the image down to 2.35:1 I didn't feel like I missed anything (in fact I wasn't that impressed with the whole film myself) and I didn't have to mess about changing my PJ's settings while watching. I gather some other films are going this route but I hope it's not anything I'm bothered about watching.......
