How much of this huge box office do you all think is because of Heath Ledger's untimely demise?

I don't doubt people will see it for just that reason. But I don't think people are raving about it like they are, -only- because of that reason. Heath put on an excellent last performance of his career. A perfect end, you could say. But the movie on the whole was amazing. Eckhart was amazing, the plot was perfect for what it was, and the movie was in my opinion perfectly balanced between character drama and action.

Ledger's performance is hailed the way it is due the "Cobain syndrome." It is truly outstanding, but it will be held to a mythic level because of the tragedy. He deserves huge props though. But Hopefully everyone can see it's getting ALL the attention when others deserve it JUST as much. But I'm not trying to sell him short as it was one for the ages, but others (Eckhart) were JUST as good.

His death isn't the ONLY reason it's being raved on, but you have to admit it's a factor.

Just remembered I wanted to post this, it happened two days ago and I forgot about it completely.

A friend at work asked me why I asked her if she had seen The Dark Knight, and why everyone is going apeshit over it.

A co-worker comes up and goes "Jen, why so serious?"

I lawl and say "Because its fucking amazing"

a customer does the clappingn thing the Joker does.

Epic moment

Couple things I forget to mention.

I marked out for the following...

SPOILER: show
Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow. I was expecting them to keep the mask on him.


Nestor Carbonell (Richard Alpert from Lost) as the Mayor of Gotham.


Also, on the subject of Joker being in the next film. I like the idea of having him go Hannibal Lecter style. Have him filmed from behind. Have Depp take the role as The Riddler and have him do Joker too. I think it'd have a good duality.

I want Depp as Joker based solely on the fact that his is a coulrophobic...scared of clowns!

Phenomenal. Thought I pretty much knew what was going to happen and when and I got totally suckered. Bravo, Chris Nolan.

A word for the hospital scene as well, please. Fucking outstanding, can't wait to see that on IMAX.

I don't know what my favorite scene is. Hospital is up there, but every scene is amazing and every scene has a purpose. At 2 1/2 hours not a minute is wasted, needless, or boring. It's all meaningful.

The bank robbery to kick it off is one of the top scenes too. Even though it's only one scene, it's probably the best heist I've ever seen in a movie, and I've seen my share of heist flicks and westerns.

Jokers jail escape splice with Batman racing to Rachel and Gordon to Dent, only to have the switcharoo was an incredibly intense sequence, and full of twists and turns and awesomeness.

But now that I think of it, the climax of the film with Two Face, Batman and Gordon is probably the most powerful scene. Still can't decide what's the "best" though. Great acting in there too.

He actually reminds me of Cobain while in the nurse's frock and walking rather awkwardly from out of the hospital.

I have to disagree. I can confidently say that his death has no effect on my opinion at all.

I fully believe we'd be seeing the same comments here, even if he would have lived. And I've seen almost as much praise to the rest of the cast as Ledger. So I don't know where you are seeing all this indifference to the other cast members.

Either the Why So Serious? scene, or the one when he walks into the party and has the conversation with Rachel. Both of those scenes gave me the chills just listening to his voice.

Also, the hospital room scene, when Dent yells at Gordon. Chilling.

Remember the friend I mentioned that didn't like TDK but wouldn't / couldn't give much reason and wouldn't tell me what his favourite film is?

His current facebook status reads as follows..."Dave thought that batman was shallow and pedantic".

I dunno if he's doing it just to get a rise out of me or whether he just didn't understand the film!?

Well I went to see this movie today. Like most of you, I'm sure, I have been waiting for this movie for a long time. Mainly due to three things 1) It's the follow up to Batman Begins, which I love 2) A Batman movie with the Joker and Two Face and 3) The build up this movie has recieved due to Heath Ledger.

I have got to say this movie is nothing short of superb. Everything from Bale, Leckhart and Ledger to the smaller roles of (can't think of their real names) Gordon and Rachel, as well as Caine and Freeman fits so well.

When I heard about this Oscar stuff with Ledger the cynical side of me thought "whatever, dead guy, sympathy vote, etc" but frankly if his performance isn't recognised, it would be a travesty.

Favourite scenes include when the Joker introduces himself to the mob and he's like "let me show you a magic trick", the "why so serious?" scene, the whole sequence in the interrogation part and the scene with Two Face in the gangsters car.

I will dare say that's the finest movie that's been released in a long time. Excellent - don't know how they could possibly follow it.

I had thought about that then just assumed it was the suit he had on when he was burned.

Definitely the suit he got burned in. It was probably sitting around somewhere in the hospital and Joker brought it to him; just another element to remind him what happened and make him more evil.

I also have to give props to the chase sequence with the debut of the Bat Pod and the truck flip. Amazing scenes. Can't wait to see them in IMAX tomorrow morning.

I was really happy with the way they introduced the Batpod. I like the idea that it was Batman's backup plan in case the car got totalled - it wasn't just some gimmicky "look! Batman has a new toy... because... he's Batman..." type thing.

Batpod was fantastic. Didn't see that coming at all.

Thinking about it my favourite bit might be when he blacks out the building in Hong Kong. Just pure classic 'old school' Batman tactics.

Loved his greeting of the newly appointed commisioner Gordon while he was in the interrogation room. The darkness, the lamp just about illuminating his face. "Good evening, Commisioner"

Heath Ledger was great for the role. I'd high hopes from the release of the first picture of him in his Joker make-up. God help anyone following that in any future reboot of the Batman franchise.

It'll be interesting to see how the skirt around his abscence in the next movie. I'm pretty sure he'd have had a cameo at least. David Goyer even went on record as saying the original intention was that the Joker goes on trial in the third movie and that he's the one who scars Dent in the courtroom.

I trust Christopher Nolan enough to be sure of putting money on it that we won't be seeing a re-cast Joker in the third film.

That'll be a very wise choice.

Poor William Fichtner. Here's a guy who had some great leading movies roles, Black Hawk Down certainly being one of them. Then goes to a couple tv shows that either got cancelled within the first episode or the first season. And now, he's the Bank Manager who gets whacked in the first 5 minutes.

Oh, didn't know that was Spawn AKA Michael Jai White who played gamble.

You guys realize that there is a possibility that there are scenes that were filmed in this movie that didn't make it in this movie that could be used in the 3rd, right? You know, scenes involving The Joker... Hmmm?

Saw it today. Really enjoyed it, but it didn't live up to my lofty expectations after all the hyperbole in fan reviews, calling it the greatest film ever made et al.

Ledger was a great Joker though. He could have carried the whole film as the main villain, this film was quite the waste of Two Face. Could have explored that a little further in the next installment.

Dark Knight Makes Record-Breaking $300M in 10 Days

By Stephen M. Silverman

No argument: The Dark Knight is Hollywood's brightest light.

The Batman adventure, starring Christian Bale and Heath Ledger, shattered another box-office benchmark this weekend – reaching beyond the $300 million mark in a mere 10 days.

The movie grossed $75.6 million in its second weekend in theaters, bringing its North American box-office total to $314,245,000, Warner Bros. head of distribution Dan Fellman tells the Associated Press.

The number breaks the record established by 2006's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, which hit $300 million after 16 days.

Fellman says Dark Knight could conceivably reach the $400-million mark in about 18 days – placing it ahead of Shrek 2's 43-day record in 2004.

Hold on to your life preservers – The Dark Knight might also surpass 1997's Titanic as the highest-grossing film in U.S. history, according to Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media By Numbers. That sinking-ship saga, starring Leonardo Di Caprio, made $600,788,188 domestically.

Rounding out this weekend's top five at the box office were Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in Step Brothers, with an estimated $30 million; Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia!, $17.9 million; David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in The X-Files: I Want to Believe, $10.2 million; and Brendan Fraser in Journey to the Center of the Earth, $9.4 million.
