How Does The Dark Knight Rises Box Office Compare To The Dark Knight?as we move on from the event, and Holmes's monstrous act gets further separated from the film itself, those keeping an eye on The Dark Knight Rises can't help but notice that the movie, while massive, just can't keep pace with its predecessor.

Watch: Tom Waits In 1979 Is Essentially Heath Ledger’s JokerBack in 1979, gravel-voiced American singer-songwriter Tom Waits was touring with his album Blue Valentine, and made a press stop on The Don Lane Show.

The Avengers Passes The Dark Knight At The Box Office, Is Now The Third Biggest Movie Of All TimeWhen The Dark Knight came out in 2008, it was a legitimate phenomenon.

Batman's Tumbler And Bat-Pod May Be Coming To A City Near YouBatman has a number of modes of transportation, among which are the Tumbler, which first appeared in Batman Begins, and the Bat-Pod, which made its excellent debut in The Dark Knight.

Avatar Tops The List Of Most Pirated MoviesIt is baffling to me to see that the most pirated movies are the very movies that work best on the big screen.

The Dark Knight's Incoherent Action Explained By This 20-Minute VideoFilm critic Jim Emerson dissects the famous car chase action scene from The Dark Knight, in which The Joker interrupts a police convoy carrying Harvey Dent and causes a whole lot of mayhem on an underground highway near the Chicago River.
