Yeah, Mr. Freeze was one of my favorites from the animated series. Just pathetic. |

'The Dark Knight' is the new box office opening weekend champ...
Quote:
Dark Knight debuts #1 and smashes records on the way...
The Dark Knight debuted #1 at the box office this weekend, earning $155.3 million! The film also had a massive per theater average with $35,579 per theater. The film set all kinds of records including the biggest one -- biggest opening weekend ever! The previous record was $151.1 million set by Spider-Man 3. The film also broke records for biggest midnight opening ($18.4 million, beating Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith) and biggest single day/opening day ($67.8 million, beating Spider-Man 3). The film did $67.8 million on Friday, $48 million on Saturday (second biggest Saturday ever), and $39.4 million on Sunday. The film had a $180 million budget and should soar past that in the next few days.

That's pretty crazy, because I think just last week they were "only" projecting 120-130 million.

The movie was great and all, but I would be more impressed if they could tell me how many more people saw the The Dark Knight than Star Wars, Episode III. Ticket prices are not fixed and tend to go up every year, so these records don't mean a whole lot to me, unless I'm seeing some of the revenue.

I initially confused this movie with the Martin Lawrence classic:

That's the worst part of all this. They left the Joker alive, but you can't bring him back anytime soon because of Ledger. I doubt any actor would touch that roll now because no one could do it justice. I vote for Catwoman, but if you have her you have to have another villain as well. Are there any dark villains left from the comics that haven't been used in movies or cartoons?
