Heath Ledger Selling Out Batman?
Is Health Ledger's last blockbuster performance as the Joker selling out screenings of The Dark Knight? Quite possibly.
Movie theaters are adding 6 a.m. opening-day showings of The Dark Knight to meet demand created by sold-out midnight and 3 a.m. screenings. I haven't seen crazy screens times like this since Matrix Revolutions, which launched at the same time all over the globe.
The Dark Knight is the fastest selling film in wide release this year. It trumps Iron Man, Sex and the City, Indiana Jones and Wall-E at the same point in their sales cycles. That even outpaces last year's Spider-Man 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
Whether it's Ledger's last performance or ecstatic early reviews, The Dark Knight is sure to entertain millions of film lovers this summer.

So far Iron Man and Indiana Jones have grossed over 300 million this summer. My guess is that the Dark Knight will be the 8th movie to gross over 400 million in the USA box office before summer's end. The Dark Knight opens July 18th. Only time will tell...

NEW Batman The Dark Knight Trailer
Batman: The Dark Knight trailer gets my blood flowing, I cannot wait for it to hit theaters this summer. Christian Bale and Heath Ledger look great on the screen together. I am anxious to see if Ledger played The Joker as good as Jack Nicholas did. The Joker is easily the best villain in any Batman movie. Check out the Batman: The Dark Knight trailer below.

NEW Batman : The Dark Knight Photos
The New Batman is coming this summer and I am sure it's gonna suck in millions of dollars in the box office. The first one, Batman Begins, can probably be argued one of the best batman movies of all time. It is my favorite movie currently and am wondering if the Dark Knight is going to be able to hold up to the hype.

Two-Face
Aaron Eckhart informed WizardUniverse.com about the Dark Knight, stating that "Harvey Dent turns into Harvey Two-Face in this movie." This is exciting news for Batman fans. This film should have some very intense scenes with Dent/Two-Face giving a fifty-fifty split from the same actor providing two wildly divergent performances in the same shot. With Nolan having takes from Eckhart playing both characters he will have the luxury of shaping Eckhart's performance in post. Very intriguing for the director, but quite scary from the actor's perspective. Eckhart may not have a true idea of his final performance until he actually sees the movie with his own eyes.
