Saw TDK at a press screening, and the Blu-ray doesn't match what I saw at all. Period. The parking lot scene (when Batman jumps from above and crushes the car) was absolutely breathtakingly crystal clear and beautiful.

Remember, Nolan tried to match this film look to Michael Mann's HEAT. Does the Blu looks like a Mann's palette? Nope.

Indeed 'Heat' was an inspiration for TDK like Blade Runner was for BB. I read somewhere he played them the crew before production.

I thought it was more in terms of scale and mood, not copying the colour pallets. TDKR inspiration was the Charles Dickens book 'A Tale of Two Cities'.
