This is one of my favorite movies, now. I saw it just a few nights back, the 10:00 p.m. showing. I left the theatre at 1:40 a.m. It was long, and it was awesome.
I would not be surprised if Heath Ledger won an Oscar posthumously. His portrayal of The Joker was absolutely stunning. Christian Bale was not to be shown up, though, and put on a hell of a show as Batman, though he was, in the end, outdone by Heath.
I HIGHLY recommend seeing this movie as soon as possible. Although, I must warn, if you have don't like a little gore or have a soft stomach, I do not suggest seeing it. Also, this is not the Batman movie children should be watching.
My favorite scene from the movie is toward the beginning, after you see that the Joker and some of his minions have robbed a bank. There is a meeting with a bunch of obviously high up crime lords. Organized crime bosses all meeting in some basement. There is some talking about money being stolen and you learn a little bit about the plot, but the real fun starts when the Joker walks in and announces he was the one that stole all the money from them. One of the bosses sitting at the table tells one of his henchmen to go and take care of the Joker. The Joker tells them he will show them a magic trick and pulls out a pencil. He says he will make the pencil disappear, and puts the pencil on the table, holding it up, point toward the ceiling. The henchman walks over the Joker, the Joker grabs the henchman's head, slams it down on the pencil and let's his body fall to the floor. The pencil is obviously now gone, as it is lodged in the henchman's brain and the Joker says, "Taa-daa!"
Ahh, the gruesome humor! This movie was absolutely amazing. Go see it.
The Dark Knight has made over 523 million in just 17 days. It won't gain that much during the week but it will be another hit next weekend. They are not sure how much money this movie will make.
meh,movie was pretty good but people can't think of original movies all the movies now are sequels like e3 iron man sequel, batman sequel, Indiana Jones sequel i have to saw wall-e was much better and had a lot more going for it. Everyone is like a pack of sheep when anyone says anything about batman.
It is also stupid that people think because it passes titanic in the money it made it is a better movie. Think back to when the titanic was made, tickets cost alot less, and there were alot less people around yet it still made $600 million. Even if The Dark Knight passes that amount, The Titanic is still a bigger movie.

I actually thought this movie was original. Sure, it was a sequel to the Batman movies but it had its own ideas. I am glad it was not just the typical good guy fights bad guy movie.

If your points are true, why haven't any movies passed it? Titanic was made in 1997 and no movie has even come close to beating it until The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight is one of the best movies out there.
i loved it. though i must agree it was not[b]a kid movie. though i was dissipointed when i found out that the guy playing the joker commited suiside. he did the best job as the joker ever! it's a movie i would go to c over and over again and never get tired of it. it was just that good.
Oops, I made a mistake. The Dark Knight has made nearly $600 million worldwide in just 17 days. It has made almost $400 million in just the U.S. which is only $200 million short of beating Titanic.
I want to see it but haven't yet. My friend told be about this one seen it sounds really cool, but here is what happened.....
********SPOILER********* I forgot what the guys name was but, the Joker stuck a smoke bomb in the guys mouth pulled a string triggering it and then, the guy try not to breath (as it was coming out of his nose mouth and ears). But, he did and then he just like keeled over right there.
