It then went on to break records for the pace at which is has earned $100, $200, $300 and $400 million dollars. On Sunday August 31st, THE DARK KNIGHT hit the $500 million mark, becoming only the second movie ever to reach that total domestically.

- I've always been a bigger fan of Marvel than DC, but some of the Batman movies are way cool. Dark Knight is one of the best--Ledger's Joker is too creepy for words....
