Theaters Adding Extra Screenings for “The Dark Knight” July 9, 2008 7:08 pm

If you still had any doubt about how big The Dark Knight’s opening weekend haul is looking to be, check out this bit of news.  The New York Times is reporting that some IMAX theaters are now offering 6 a.m. showings of The Dark Knight.  Yeah, that’s right, showings at 6 in the morning!  So far, theaters in Chicago, San Diego and Minnesota are participating.

I’m cool with the midnight screenings, but is there really a demand out there for watching a movie at 6am?

The Dark Knight opens (hopefully huge) on July 18, 2008 in conventional and IMAX theaters.

Bale Says No to Robin in Future Batman Films, Comic Writer Jeph Loeb Counters July 6, 2008 1:24 am

Christian Bale, star of the upcoming Batman Begins follow-up The Dark Knight does not want to see Robin showing up in any future Batman films he’s a part of.  He was quite emphatic in that stance, reportedly telling Starpulse “If Robin crops up in one of the new Batman films, I’ll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work.”  Meanwhile, comic writer Jeph Loeb countered Bale, telling MTV that if time was taken to “tell the story properly”, it work work well:

“I wouldn’t let him become Robin until the third act, if that. I think that’s the other problem when you tell that story is that there’s this rush to put him in a costume by the end of the first 20 minutes and in that case I think it’s a disaster,” Loeb said. “So if you look at ‘Dark Victory’ Tim and I went nine out of twelve chapters before you even started to talk about putting him in a costume and he doesn’t put the costume on until the last chapter of that book.”

Early ‘Dark Knight’ Review + New Viral June 25, 2008 3:30 am

With just over three weeks to go before the release of The Dark Knight (are you as psyched about this film as I am?) the first review has been released (the film is being selectively screened for press). Courtesy, AICN, here’s a highlight from the very encouraging review:

Heath Ledgers performance of the joker is truly one for the books. Aman of no remorse or morals who simply wants to see things burn. There is no back story or establishing the character. He is fully formed. He does have some dialogue scenes that reveal a bit of his background.Lets just say he has some issues with his father and that smile of his is rooted in a gesture of love. He is far from a caricature and has depth . He realises that without Batman he would not be. The Joker is almost more of a terrorist than criminal. He is not motivated by money. He wants to see people suffer. Its a damn shame that this was Heath Ledger’s final major performance as it shows a whole different side to him as a performer and I now know that he was endlessly talented.

Another highlight, plus a new viral, after the jump.
