The Dark Knight Wants an Oscar

Talk about hype! “The Dark Knight” was probably the most hyped movie coming into theaters, and now that it’s gone and is about to hit DVD, the hype is starting all over again. Except this time Batman isn’t trying to garner support to take down the Joker, it’s to win himself...

Batman vs. Batman: Who Ya Got??

Okay, so this “news” has been making the rounds since early this week, and pretty much anyone with a blog has written about it and cracked all the jokes they can muster, so why am I bothering? Well, I’m kind of like a sheep, and if everyone’s doing it, I feel the need to do it,...

The Dark Knight Edges Out the Dragon Emperor

“The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” was good, but it wasn’t good enough to knock Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” off its #1 perch. Already in its third week and still gobbling up box office cash like it’s going out of style (it’s already at $394.9...

Box Office: Moviegoers Still Believe in The Dark Knight, Not so Much X-Files

There are good news and bad news for Warner Bros. regarding their movie, the Christopher Nolan film “The Dark Knight”. The bad news is that the film dropped over 52% in its second week of release; the good news is that, after making north of $150 million in its first week, a 52% drop still...

Box Office: The Dark Knight Weekend Take $155.3 million

Okay, so $155.3 million is about $45 million less than my grand prediction of $200 million or more, but it’s still a lot. It easily makes “The Dark Knight” the biggest opener in 2008, easily beating out “Iron Man’s” $100 million and change debut. The weekend tally...

Either that, or you’ve all been dying to see it, and you spent all day Friday doing just that. The big news from Lalaland is that “The Dark Knight” broke all kinds of records by banking a seriously impressive $66.4 million in a single day, Friday. That number, from Warner Bros. themselves...

Enough Dark Knight Images to Choke a Horse

It’s almost here. July 18th, 2008. The Dark Knight Detective — that’s Batman to you non-comic book people — returns in what is being called the best comic book movie EVER. Of all time. This thing is so good, some say, it will make you go home and smack your momma on her ass and...

The Dark Knight is Not a Masterpiece? Say It Ain’t So!

After a month or so of foaming at the mouth by fanboy movie sites and actual critics alike to praise “The Dark Knight”, a movie critic has decided to take the film to task for being kind of average, while a fanboy movie site is taking issue with all the hyper praise for Christopher Nolan’s...

Watch 14 Minutes of The Dark Knight Now

It’s official: everyone in the whole wide world thinks Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” is the second coming of Jesus. Well, okay, maybe not Jesus, but quite possibly the second coming of the dinosaurs. It’s good, let’s just put it this way. No, not good, but...

No Catwoman and Penguin for Batman Begins 3

Thank God someone over there has some sense, even if I don’t always like how he goes about writing them into the movies. The guy in question is David Goyer, who recently spoke to Digital Spy and made it very clear that he and the Batman Begins gang has no plans to introduce either Catwoman or The...

The Dark Knight Quickies: Edison Chen, Michael Bay, and Trailers

From all the advance reviews we’ve read on Christopher Nolan’s second outing as helmer of the Dark Knight, “The Dark Knight” will either be the greatest comic book movie ever made, or one of the most hyped. Knowing the Internets, it could be either/or. In today’s roundtable...

Say, Have You Heard of The Dark Knight Yet?

In case you haven’t heard, Warner Bros. is about to release a little movie of theirs called “The Dark Knight”. I hear it’s their prestige film of the year, and that they’re expecting to lose money on it, although it would just tickle them pink if it ended up making a profit....

New Dark Knight Poster is Jokerific

That wacky Joker. If Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan aren’t careful, the Joker may end up being the star of “The Dark Knight”, which would be a problem if the Joker ended up dead at the end of the movie. Of course, that’s how we’d prefer the film end, instead of leaving...

Two-Face Clip from The Dark Knight

Looks like the viral site for “The Dark Knight” (whysoserious.com) has updated again, and this time it features a very short clip (exactly 33 seconds) from the movie featuring Two-Face (aka Harvey Dent, played by Aaron Eckhart) confronting an old guy in a bar. No, that’s not the beginning...

Batman’s Got Milk

Batman. The Dark Knight Crusader. A guy who skulks about in the dead of night beating the crap out of murderers and rapists because one of them shot his parents dead when he was a kid, has a milk mustache. Yup, I don’t know if this means the Warner Bros. PR people are going way overboard to promote...

Batman and the Joker are Cover Boys

I normally wouldn’t post this, but Wednesday is shaping up to be a very slow movie news day, so here you go anyway: Batman and the Joker (Christian Bale and Heath Ledger, respectively) on two separate covers of Empire Magazine. I have no idea where you can get Empire Magazine, but I guess your...

Joker and Batman Busts from The Dark Knight

Haven’t gotten enough “Dark Knight” merchandising yet? Well you’re in luck if that’s the case, because the Hot Toys Collectible Bust Series featuring the Joker (still as creepy as ever, even in bust form) and Batman (I still don’t like the clunky suit; what’s...

Two-Face is one Ugly Bastard

When the most recent “Dark Knight” trailer was released, we pulled some screenshots from the trailer that showed the evolution of Harvey Dent (played by Aaron Eckhart) from crusading Gotham D.A. to Two-Face. Or, well, we sorta see Two-Face — at least his “good” side (see...

New Dark Knight Trailer Online

It’s actually not all that new. It’s the trailer that was posted and bootleg on the net last week, the result of that wacky Joker scavenger hunt that yielded a new trailer, before Warner Bros. went around pulling every single one of them from the net. Now they’ve officially released...
