Is The Dark Knight really the best film ever made?
It's shot straight to the top of imdb.com's top films of all time. Fair praise for Christopher Nolan? Or is this a vote-rigging scandal by Bat-fans?
Lost the plot: What happens in ... The Dark Knight
Can't wait to see Christopher Nolan's Batman sequel? We've pieced together the clips released so far so you don't have to!
"The night is darkest just before the dawn," says new Gotham City district attorney Harvey Dent in the Dark Knight. Which is all very well unless, like me, you haven't actually seen the film yet and are in danger of eating your own face off with the anticipation.
But never fear, because in this brave new world of multimedia, one hardly needs to go to the cinema at all in order to
Dark Knight breaks all-time box office opening record
According to Box Office Mojo, the Dark Knight has broken the previous all-time single-day record set by Spiderman III ($59.8m). The new mark to beat now stands at $66.4m.
Batman film nears $200 million after first weekend
It turns out Batman is more of a superhero than first thought.
The latest installment in the Caped Crusader franchise, "The Dark Knight," enhanced its status as the biggest movie opening of all time at the North American box office, according to final data issued on Monday by its distributor, Warner Bros. Pictures.
The film grossed $158.355 million during its first three days of release across the United States and Canada -- a $3 million improvement over Sunday's estimate from the Time Warner Inc-owne
Could The Dark Knight Sink the Titanic?
Could The Dark Knight overtake Titanic to become the largest grossing domestic movie of all time? In just 13 days, The Dark Knight has taken in over $342.6 million domestically, and another $128.3 million internationally. The film is already in the top 15 films of all time, and is adding millions more each day. But will Batman be able to top Titanic’s $600.7 million record? Box office analysts admit that it isn’t out of the question. Most people expect the film to take in at least another $80 million, b
'Dark Knight' continues to dominate
Warner Bros.' "The Dark Knight" continued its record-breaking crusade over the weekend, grossing an estimated $75.6 million from 4,366 theaters at the domestic box office.

Aaron Eckhart: Not just another pretty face in 'The Dark Knight'
THE trailers for "The Dark Knight" have shown quite a bit of Heath Ledger's scabbier, surlier reinvention of the Joker (think of Malcolm McDowell's thug from "A Clockwork Orange" but with kelp-colored hair, scars and a hyena laugh), but the producers have been keeping the film's other Batman bad guy, Two-Face, under wraps.
"That's right, people don't really know yet," actor Aaron Eckhart said with grin. "I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach. Bein
New "Dark Knight" stills online
Just over a decade ago, Warner Bros.' Batman film franchise seemed destined to evaporate in a puff of candy-colored nonsense. Now, on the doorstep of Christopher Nolan's second installment in the revitalized saga, the "Clooney nipple suit" days seem far, far away.
All the difference a decade (and a change in directors makes) is underscored in a report published by The New York Times Sunday -- a report containing four new stills from The Dark Knight, bowing July 18.
The stills are only part of the stor
Aaron Eckhart talks about "Dark Knight"
WizardUniverse.com interviews Aaron Eckhart. Some excerpts:
WIZARD: Director Christopher Nolan said he saw Two-Face and Harvey Dent as the backbone of “Dark Knight.” Did you draw inspiration from the comics or the older movies?
Eckhart: Chris [Nolan] comes at this with such a different take on Batman, so I didn’t feel that I had to be true to any other actor playing this role. Of course, I read the comic books. His relationships with Lt. Gordon and with Batman, with Gotham City, those really helpe

Michael Caine Predicts Heath Ledger Will Get an Oscar Nod
Heath Ledger's legacy will live on not only in a theatre in his hometown of Perth – but possibly through an Oscar nomination, according to one his Dark Knight costars.
"I think Heath will surely get a posthumous nomination for an Academy Award," Michael Caine said Friday at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where the legendary actor was honored in a hand and footprint ceremony.
"He was incredible [and] he was amazing,” said Caine, 75. "And I think he will get it. It's an incredible performance, just wond
Interview with Christopher Nolan
Question: Well Chris, congratulations.
Christopher Nolan: Thank you.
Thank god that you convinced yourself to do the sequel.
Christopher Nolan: Yeah. well you know, it's daunting, the idea of taking on a sequel. I saw it, I came to see it as an interesting challenge, but at first I was a little bit unwilling to roll the device again, if you like. Because Batman Begins had been well received. There's really no point in doing the sequel unless you can try and do something that you'll b

Final Tally for "The Dark Knight" is $158.3 Million
Everyone now knows that "The Dark Knight" set a record for the biggest weekend opening. But according to the final tally, the Sunday estimates of $155.3 million turned out to be a bit low. In reality, the film has brought in $158.3 million, creating an even bigger gap between itself and "Spider-Man 3," which was the previous record-holder at $151.1 million back in May 2007.
The industry-record bow naturally yielded a studio high for Warner Bros. and personal bests for director Christopher Nolan and cast

Independent Review of The Dark Knight
Independent film critic gives The Dark Knight highest film rating of the year to date. He writes, "While Chris Nolan's Batman Begins was a magnificent film and one of the best superhero movies ever, The Dark Knight stands on its shoulders peering over into a whole new world. It's too bad for Iron Man which was looking to be the best superhero movie of the year, although, the comparison is a bit like comparing a year's best movie to a year's best epic film. Perhaps, The Dark Knight will finally do what no s
'DARK KNIGHT' BREAKS 8 RECORDS; $155.3M Weekend Will Beat 'Spidey 3'; But Rival Studios Questioning Numbers
SUNDAY AM: Warner Bros is reporting The Dark Knight will finish with a total North American weekend take of $155.3M. Here's the surprising studio breakdown: $67.8 million Friday, including those record-setting opening day midnight shows; $48 million Saturday (-29%), and projected $39.4 million Sunday (-18%). So if Sunday holds up, that FSS (Fri-Sat-Sun) non-holiday figure will be enough to snag the record from Spider-Man 3's $151.1 million. But it'll be close. The latest Batman installment did not set a rec
