Still set for release on Match 4, 2022 ‘The Batman’ stars Robert Pattinson as Batman who takes on the Riddler and corruption in Gotham City. I have been working on these encodes for a few days and I am pleased to be able to post them for your enjoyment. As the title says, this is the IMAX version, however it is not in an IMAX aspect ratio but 2.40:1 widescreen. Checking the technical specs at IMDB, it lists the aspect ratio as 2.39:1 and there is no indication of the use of IMAX cameras or lenses. That suggests there are no scenes in IMAX 1.90:1. So what makes this the IMAX version? Well, at the end it has the “Experience in IMAX” tag!

This is a dark and gritty trailer with a lot of shadows. There are several encodes, of varying qualities from 4K UHD 10 bit with 444 chroma subsampling to HD 8 bit. The default audio is an unofficial 5.1 mix derived from an official IMAX non English track. The centre was created from the official English stereo master and I also added an LFE as the IMAX track was 5.0 and not 5.1. If that is too much tinkering for you, the official lossless PCM stereo track is also included on all the .mkv files. If you are looking for the 4K DC Fandome Teaser, you can find it here.

Also, I mentioned another trailer for Dune was coming. Unfortunately I was mistaken and did not have what I thought I had.
