    And it deserves to make 155.3 million ! the best comic book movie ever . And maybe better than the godfather !

    Absolute wicked film! Heath Ledger and Christian Bale will certainly win Academy Awards, but who will be who's supporting actor? They both we're outstanding! I went to the Dark Knight opening day and was left in a semi-traumatized state when I left the theater. If you see one movie this summer let it be the Dark Knight.

    I saw the biggest comic book sequel of all time this weekend: Hellboy II.

    Also, I saw some Batman movie or something.

    i wouldnt say that this is better than the godfather like imdb polls are sayin that this is hte best movie of all time but i did think it was fantastic. great joker performance though two face didnt do it for me. he was kind of a whiner and his transition to the two face wasnt the greatest he died too quick.

    This is an outrage. I screened my own movie at my apartment this weekend and made over $340 million, but you don't hear the trades reporting that, do you?

    @ Cole, the trades don't make a habit of covering LEGO porn filmed with a camera phone.

    They really should though.

    who else thinks this movie will get quite close to that box-office hogger, Titanic? it should make close to $500 million when it leaves the box office...then the dvd sales...

    1 billion bucks anyone?

    I think it will beat Titanic.
  • ddog · 1 year ago
    @nevernude NOT SURE IT WILL HIT TITANICS SPOT BUT WOULD BE GREAT TO KNOCK THAT DARN MOVIE OFF ITS PEDASTOOL

    It is true, this movie is not intended for families with young children. The Joker is a rated R character as is Batman by default of the world he lives in. The lack of rules maintained by Joker, a la the pencil trick, are not made for younger audiences. I mean, it even shocked me. The casual nature with which Joker dispenses with human lives, even if they are bad guys, is nothing short of horrifying.
    Yet, much of The Dark Knight audience is expecting something similar to Batman Begins. Though dark in its own way, it has nothing on hand held camera footage, terrorist conjuring moments, that involves extending a person's smile. I'm just saying, that it caught me by surprise how Hannibal Lector-like The Joker was portrayed.
