Re: Batman Begins' sequel: The Dark Knight (Merged)
Oh look - the Charles La Salle clone has returned!
I'm making sure to download every possible trailer, TV spot and featurette I can, because the odds of that stuff (as presented) ending up on the eventual DVD release is pretty slim. I'm adding these clips to the collection.

Re: Batman Begins' sequel: The Dark Knight (Merged)
How come?
Unless you want to go in with as little information as possible, it's doubtful watching clips like that (and they are very nice, not really spoilerish at all) will ruin anything. If nothing else, they offer a glimpse into the film that doesn't seem exaggerated the way a trailer does, so you get a better impression of the film.

Re: Batman Begins' sequel: The Dark Knight (Merged)
From FirstShowing.net...
The Dark Knight is Already Poised to Shatter Records! « FirstShowing.net
We're completely in the thick of the summer movie season now and excitement for numerous upcoming films is starting to boil over. You might remember a rather interesting article I wrote last weekend titled: The Financial Success of The Dark Knight. In it, I discussed the potential for The Dark Knight's incredible financial success and in turn started a heated discussion in the comments about how much money The Dark Knight might end up making. An e-mail hit my inbox today with some rather exciting news. "As of June 27th, Dark Knight has sold eight times as many tickets on MovieTickets.com as Spider-Man 3 at the same point in the sales cycle — 21 days from the film's official release." Yes, this movie is going to be big, very big. It's already poised to shatter records and we've still got 21 more days.
The e-mail came from MovieTickets.com's public relations representative and is completely accurate. Let me remind you that Spider-Man 3 currently holds the world record for the biggest opening weekend at $151 million in three days. The Dark Knight has already surpassed ticket sales of Spider-Man 3 at 21 days in advance - that is a strong indication that this movie is easily going to shatter records. Add in this news from SlashFilm as well: Fandango reports that midnight showings on their site are already selling out. I haven't felt this confident in how big the opening weekend of a film will be since 300 changed Hollywood forever with its record-breaking March opening weekend.
Now I won't exactly claim that I think The Dark Knight is going to beat Spider-Man 3, per se, but I have a feeling it will break some records. Passing Spidey's three day weekend total is going to be tough. Even Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, at $135 million, didn't even come that close. Everyone seems to be under the impression that the dark, anti-family nature of the film and it's 150-minute running time are going to hurt its box office. Guess what? They won't. And this information right here is early proof. Get ready for one hell of an incredible July. Everyone who has doubted the potential for The Dark Knight is going to be shocked to see the film shatter all of their perceptions of how the Hollywood system works. That's how big and how powerful The Dark Knight truly is!- Alex Billington

Re: Batman Begins' sequel: The Dark Knight (Merged)
Ever wondered who would win in a fight between the four Batmen; Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney or Christian Bale? No? Well, here it is anyway. Nicely done.

That was very cool.
But, I know Bale would lose. He would be blinded by the neon from Clooney's Batman and then be impaled on Kilmers nipple suit.
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

Re: Batman Begins' sequel: The Dark Knight (Merged)
Most of the reviews for this flick are out of this world. Emanuel Levy gives it high praise, rating it an "A-"(somewhat spoilerish):

Also, it does sound like the film's run time and kid unfriendly themes will hurt it in the long run of repeat viewing. This movie is probably going to have a big opening, in the $80-90million range. If my guess is correct, this movie is also going to be very front-loaded and end with the exact same total as the first movie.

Hey Lenny,
How about this: let's make a bet for 100$ on your post. In fact, I will spot you ~$50 million for the line. So the bet would be that you don't believe that TDK will hit $250 mill domestically and I think that it will. Let's use one of the trusted mods here as an escrow. This way you can put your money where your mouth is.
