Ok folks, besides the KICK butt documentaries on the EXTRAS dvd in the Batman Begins DELUXE EDITION, there is an even more grand feature.
If you go through the comic book style menus to the end, finally the contents are listed. If you go to ART GALLERY and then to EXPLORATIONS, my oh my, what cool pictures. There are poster concepts that are just plain awesome. My favorite is the "climbing the glacier" Bruce standing, with bats fluttering and melting into the image. Wow.
Anyone else love these pics? Also, is there a way to get the pics on to your desktop?

Oh yes, some of those were gorgeous!~ Cant recall off hand which I liked most? but many were even better than what they ended up using IMHO. Also in the international promos, I dont think I saw the Australian billboard?

anyone with a dvd-rom drive should be able to nab the pics. I'm getting one early next year, so worst case, I'll get everything you guys want then...
Thanks for keeping us up to date on great dvd features!

i've explored the dvd, and can't find a folder containing those posters. they must be encoded into the video somehow.
i also tried to take screenshots of my desktop with the desired poster, but when i paste it into a graphics program, it just shows a blank black screen, it doesn't capture the window the dvd is playing in.
sorry.

I loved all the posters! They would've been great in public!

Yes, let us put our collective nerd brain together to solve this problem. I'm gonna try some other stuff after work.

The posters are too cool. But, the problem I have is the dvd contains a program that installs at the begining, I guess to view the additional features on the dvd. Mine, being an older machine with a 1st generation dvd rom the program locks my machine, therefore I cannot access the dvd only features. Has anyone found/seen them? If so can you describe them for the "gereatric computer" society?

it rubbish, there's nothing worth looking at in there.
there is a link to the official website and to WB, and thats about it.
after having a quick look, i deleted the program off my computer.
watching the special features through a normal dvd player, or on a PC with a dvd program does just as good (or better) a job. you're not missing anything from the 'PC only' features.

This is a good start Matt! I'm at work now so I can't try this but I was thinking.........on a computer dvd player like PowerDVD I swear there was a "screen capture" feature.

hey hey, you were correct Trashsmasher! here we go, is the the one you wanted? or i didn't crop them, so members can see the full screen and layout. simply press 'Capture Frame' in the middle panel (its an icon of a camera), and then select 'paste' in a graphics program (i used Paint) then save as bmp or jpeg.

cropped versions of those 2: you can definitely see the drop in quality if you convert the bmp to jpg, (i've only posted jpgs to save on download time).
