You mean the novel? I dunno. I like the idea, but a lot of it is based around the fact that Batman is old and vulnerable. Do they really wanna jump that far ahead? Not to mention....some of the stuff in there would DEFINITELY garner an R rating. Especially the way the Joker is done in.... How's that? SPoi1erZ!!!1111

No, I if they made a Dark Knight Returns movie it needs to be a one-shot thing. Not part of the main series continuity. Yeah, I could see that more as one of their animated projects. It would probably be better than Gotham Knight. Ugh. ;D

I think The Dark knight returns would be a great title for the next movie. They don't have to use the plot, but the title sounds cool.

I would actually call it "Return of the Dark Knight" Especially if Two-Face survived. By the by, The Dark Knight did another 21,000,000 on tuesday, but wasn't enough to beat transformers for best tuesday ever. Which came in at 27,000,000.

This is a bit misleading as Transformers actually came out on a Tuesday, if I remember correctly. Naturally, if that is Opening Night, it would stand the movie is going to have a large take. The fact that TDK has been out for several days and still picked up $21 million on a Tuesday is nothing short of amazing. By the way, seeing it again in IMAX this Saturday and I am as excited as I was before seeing it for the first time. Never felt that way about a movie before.

That's old man deadpool's house, if you hit a baseball in his yard, forget about ever getting it back. I'm horrible about not going all the way through.

It's no problem, I was just messing around mainly and adding in the part about it also being a Holiday.
Dark Knight EASILY blew away any normal Tuesday records.

So, Box Office King, how much do you expect Dark Knight to pull in total when its all said and done?
BTW, is Titanics box office record just domestic or world-wide?

I really won't be able to say how well Dark Knight will do total until I see how well it holds up this weekend. If it drops 50% or less like it's weekday legs are indicating so far, we may be in for only the second $500M movie in history. Titanic owns both the domestic and world wide records: Domestic: $600,788,188 Foreign: $1,242,091,767 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Worldwide: $1,842,879,955 In second place Worldwide is Lord of the Rings: Return of the King at $1,119,263,306, which shows you how comfortable of a lead Titanic has.

A lot of Batman marks were asking if they thought Dark Knight could beat Titanic, no way. Housewives aren't going to see this movie several times. They're going to go see Mama Mia. The 40+ crowd don't strike me as Joker fans, outside of Ceaser Romero. ( sorry to stereo type, I'm basing it off the numbers and my mother)

Here is another intresting tidbit; out of Batman's six major theatrical films, four of them have broken the Opening Weekend record upon their release.
Starting with Batman '89, Batman Returns and Batman Forever both followed suit setting new records themselves. The series took a break from setting records though with Batman and Robin and then Batman Begins, though Batman Begins did go on to be the second highest grossing movie in the series (until now). Finally, The Dark Knight picked the tradition back up with it's $158M weekend.
Batman doesn't get the credit he deserves sometimes, but he makes for a VERY strong movie franchise. Having four out of six movies set OW records, and surviving Forver and B&R are a testament to this.

Considering Batman, as a character, has been around since 1939, and still going strong today, I'm willing to heap as much credit as humanly possible on ol' Bats. Y'know, just sayin'.

I don't mean he's overall discredited, I mean he doesn't often get the credit he deserves as a box office draw.
