The Dark Knight's colors on BD is suppose to different from its theatrical run, quoting:

"On The Dark Knight Blu-ray transfer, the biggest error – by far the biggest error – its producers committed was the complete change of the film's original color timing. The Dark Knight was not copied with an optical printer. The original material – I held it in my hands – it was gorgeous. It was absolutely gorgeous. It was… I fell flat off my chair. (Laughs) The colors are so different compared to those that appear in the Blu-ray transfer. I've seen the Blu-ray once, and I've never looked at it again. "

Outside of that quote if I remember correctly didn't the IMAX preview on the Batman Begin BD look different color wise then what it looked like on The Dark Knight?

 Thanks for this PDB, this was going to be my next line of enquiry.

Is this the same for Begins?

Will investigate further.

Anybody got or have a link to any 35mm frames?

 Not sure what colors Torsten Kaiser was talking about in that interview. Its sad he didn't elaborate. Especially what "original material" meant. ?

I don't have the IMAX preview from Batman Begins handy so I can't make a comparison but I just found Xylon's old comparison from the AVSforum. I did remember people thinking it was odd that the preview had not only a different colors but also different framing:

Not sure if that's the color difference that he is referencing. Does anyone have the IMAX shots from that Dark Knight Trilogy boxset? 

I saw BB a while back and remember it looking similar to the blu-ray. A very brown color palette.
