I'll have to check it out. Seeing as the movie was show with Imax in mind, I bet that would be part of the reason why.

Anyone notice in the Dark Knight, the aspect ratio changes during the movie?  In the lesser action scenes, black bars are there.  Then when stuff like the hospital blows up, full screen.

I just checked my dvd. It doesn't do any of that O_o

As it did on the IMAX release prints, the aspect ratio for The Dark Knight does change at several points in the film. While a majority of the film maintains the 2.4:1 ratio of the non-IMAX parts, the scenes shot in the big-screen format have been reformatted for Blu-ray to the 1.78:1 ratio, resulting in slight cropping on the top and bottom of the image. Unless you know the image inside and out, you shouldn't be bothered by this modification. The image on the IMAX sections is absolutely beautiful, and the shifting aspect ratios never prove to be a distraction. If anything, it drew me further into the onscreen action, which if I'm not mistaken, was Nolan's intention in the first place.
