The Dark Knight (Batman movie)
Release date in Germany: 21.Aug.2008
They are going down a very dark route with this verison of the Joker. The film is due out in 2008, cant wait for the first trailers.
Clowns are scary, dark or not. Give me the creeps.
eh I'm skeptical.
The joker has already been done - and very well done by Jack Nicholas. Too recent for a remake.
The should have picked another bad guy.

Jack Nicholas' Joker would be completely unsuitable for this version of Batman. It was good for Tim Burtons Batman, just not scary in a Psychotic way as the Joker should be. There are no
I just hope they dont go down the road of 'killing off' the villian in this movie. The Joker is to Batman as Lex Luthor is to Superman, you cannot kill off these characters.

You can't really do a new batman franchise without adding his primary arch enemy. Xmen need magneto, Superman needs Lex Luthor, Batman needs the Joker..
Mmmm. Magnificent new poster:

It's eerily similar to the 'The Crow'. Dark story line, clown make-up and tragic death of a young actor just before a film release.
Christian Bale...
It'll be so sad to watch this movie.
I can't believe God would take Heath Ledger, and leave Paris Hilton or those brats from My Super Sweet 16 to roam the earth!

I'm pretty sure Heath Ledger took Heath Ledger...
It is a sad fact that some of the most talented and artistic people are also the most troubled and unable to cope with the knocks etc that life will bring.
On the other side of the coin the air heads that contribute nothing, are a total waste of space seem to go on unaffected by everything.
This is why Mr Ledger is dead and Miss Hilton is walking around seemingly trouble free.

On the bright side it seems that Ms. Winehouse is doing the best to rectify the world of her presence..
Oooh, yes.
Forget Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Hellboy, Hancock and all the other superhero movies coming out about now. The Dark Knight looks to be the most awesome.

Blah, blah, deep dark scary music, deep dark scary dialogue. Snore. We should force Hollywood to abandon CGI, anything that catches fire, and color for 5 years. Go back to school. THEN maybe we'd see some craft, some rawness.

In Silverstone geht das Formel-1-Team von Panasonic Toyota Racing mit dem "Dunklen Ritter" an den Start
Hamburg, 03.07.2008 - Dank der Partnerschaft zwischen dem Formel-1-Team von Panasonic Toyota Racing und Warner Bros. Pictures ist auch Hollywood am Wochenende beim British Grand Prix in Silverstone vertreten, um das Kino-Event des Sommer zu feiern: "The Dark Knight".
Die mit Spannung erwartete Fortsetzung des Action-Hits "Batman Begins" (2005) kommt am 21. August in die deutschen Kinos. Für "The Dark Knight" hat Regisseur Christopher Nolan erneut Hauptdarsteller Christian Bale - zu sehen in der Doppelrolle des Bruce Wayne/Batman - gewinnen können.
Die Kinopremiere von "The Dark Knight" nimmt Panasonic Toyota Racing zum Anlass, am kommenden Wochenende in Silverstone in neuem Look aufzutreten: Das "The Dark Knight"-Fledermaus-Symbol prangt auf den TF108s, den Overalls von Jarno Trulli und Timo Glock sowie auf dem Motorhome des Teams.
Doch damit nicht genug: Vor Ort in Silverstone dürfen die Fans auch das legendäre Batmobil und das neue Batpod bewundern. Außerdem wird man bei speziellen Media-Events die Spannung von "The Dark Knight" hautnah zu spüren bekommen.
Das Batmobil dreht am Donnerstagabend neben dem TF108 sogar einige Demonstrationsrunden auf der Piste - im Anschluss gibt es dann einen ganz besonderen Fototermin mit dem Batpod sowie Jarno Trulli und Timo Glock.
Im Anschluss an diesen Fototermin können sie die Bilder ab spätestens 22.00 Uhr von nachfolgender Webseite herunterladen:

Warner Bros. Pictures präsentiert in Zusammenarbeit mit Legendary Pictures eine Syncopy-Produktion, einen Film von Christopher Nolan: "The Dark Knight". Die Hauptrollen spielen Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal und Morgan Freeman. Nolan inszenierte den Film nach dem Drehbuch von Jonathan Nolan und Christopher Nolan sowie der Story von Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. Produziert wurde "The Dark Knight" von Charles Roven, Emma Thomas und Christopher Nolan, als Executive Producers fungierten Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Kevin De La Noy und Thomas Tull.

Das Batmobil misst an der breitesten Stelle etwa drei Meter, es ist 4,5 Meter loang und 1,5 Meter hoch. Er fährt mit bleilosem Treibstoff und wiegt 2,5 Tonnen. Das Gefährt verfügt über sechs Räder - die vorderen beiden sind mit Sprintcar-Rennreifen bestückt, die hinteren vier mit Monstertruck-Reifen. Das Batmobil hat keine Frontachse und kann dadurch extrem scharfe Kurven fahren. Es bewältigt Hochsprünge von 1,20 bis 1,80 und ist auch schon 18 Meter weit gesprungen.

Somebody want to translate this garbled backwards text, or at least give a quick summary?
Basically for the British Grand Prix the Toyota Formula 1 team and cars will be outfitted in Dark Knight gear and paint and the Batmobile and Bat Pod will also be at Silverstone for fans to ogle at.
I've reserved my theater ticket and I'm just as anxious to see it as these folks: Fans Pack Theaters For Late 'Knight'.

'Dark Knight' Sets Box Office Record With $66.4M.
QUOTE
Los Angeles (AP) July 19, 2008 - Batman's joust with the Joker has set another box office record. Stoked by fan fever over the manic performance of the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, "The Dark Knight" set a one-day box office record with $66.4 million on opening day, Warner Bros. head of distribution Dan Fellman said Saturday. The movie's Friday haul surpassed the previous record of $59.8 million set last year by "Spider-Man 3." "The Dark Knight" might break the opening-weekend record of $151.1 million, also held by "Spider-Man 3."
And decent reviews, too: The Dark Knight (2008) (RottenTomatoes).
The Dark Knight TV Spot:
Heath Ledger delivers a Joker you wont forget, though defintely not Oscar worthy.
Personally I think parts of the film fail, namely the relationship between Batman and the Joker, but it's worth going to see.

Der breiteste US-Start aller Zeiten in 4.366 Kinos (9.400 gebuchte Kinosäle) sorgte für gleich mehrere Rekorde: Mit einem Box Office von $ 155,4 Mio. am Startwochenende legte THE DARK KNIGHT das beste Startergebnis aller Zeiten hin (bisher "Spider Man 3" mit $ 151,3 Mio).
Bereits am Freitag, dem Starttag, konnte THE DARK KNIGHT mit Einnahmen von $ 66,4 Mio. den Rekord von "Spider Man 3" ($ 59,8 Mio.) übertreffen. Auch in den Mitternachtsvorstellungen zum Freitag hatte THE DARK KNIGHT den "ewigen Rekordhalter" "Die Rache der Sith" ($ 17 Mio.) mit $ 18,5 Mio. Box Office von der Spitzenposition verdrängt.
Bereits vor dem Kinostart hatte THE DARK KNIGHT unter der Regie von Christopher Nolan ein wahres Batman-Fieber ausgelöst: Alle Vorstellungen um Mitternacht und morgens (drei und sechs Uhr) am Starttag waren seit Wochen ausverkauft.

It starts in Munich on the 20th August at the cinema here in Munich. But I still see your point, if I hadnt seen this at the sneak last Friday, then I would be seriously pissed because some twat just wants to hear "Ich bin Batman" on the big screen...seriously learn to read subtitles. I watch German films(And any other nationality for that matter) in their original language and have English subtitles whilst watching. Homer Simpson does not say "NEIN!"...he says "DOH!". Does not translate you stupid backwards race. I even heard a horrific rumour that the doucheland version of Mamma Mia has not only the dialouge translated in to stupid, but also the songs!
Is the film when eventually released here going to be available in original language as well? And will it be shown in its IMAX format?

maybe in the old days but nowadays you can't blame dubbing for the release dates. it is a habit rather than question of when the dubbing is done. some films ie Harry Potter manage a world wide release date with dubbed versions. there are other reasons for how release dates are managed ie easier for the promotional tours of the films etc.
It's not because of the dubbing... in Quebec we get dubbed versions in French and all the movies come out on the same day as the English ones in the rest of Canada and the USA.
Im on holidays in The USA. I have seen Batman The dark Knight and it does not let you down. Well worth the wait. I think it took like the biggest 1st weekend takings of all time in the USA.

I've scoured the Warner Bros. Presseservice site and it doesn't give a reason for the films comparatively late release. Normally they would if there was a delay of some kind, so I can only presume that this was the planned release date all along.
it's not really the topic but some of you might be interested.
i have just read an interview with the head of walt disney studios motion pictures group, Mr Mark Zoradi. he says on release dates that they are fixed up to 2 years before, spring, autumn and christmas are the most popular, events like world cups, school holidays etc are taken into consideration, films that are unknow at first need the 1-2months difference to establish a certain popularity. he didn't mention dubbing.
