The Dark Knight

Updated on October 15, 2012

...I'm Batman...

The Dark Knight is another name for the character of Batman. Starting with his birth on the pages of DC Comics in 1939, the fictional character of Batman has remained one of the most popular superheros ever created.  He's still alive on the colored page, but has also been portrayed on tv (live and animated) and in two different series of movies.

In the current movie series, Batman is portrayed by Christian Bale. The second movie in the series, titled THE DARK KNIGHT, quickly broke box office records for midnight showings, single-day and opening weekend earnings. It then went on to break records for the pace at which is has earned $100, $200, $300 and $400 million dollars. Just a little over a month after it opened THE DARK KNIGHT hit the $500 million mark, becoming only the second movie ever to reach that total domestically. It also won a posthumous Academy Award for Heath Ledger for his portrayal of the Joker.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, the third and final movie in Christopher Nolan's trilogy, opens world-wide on July 20, 2012.
