Batman is still a favorite by Claudia Sonea

We are all children inside and that is why movies appeal to us. They entertain our imagination and dreams or nightmares, no matter if it is thriller, horror, comedy or SF. The evidence of our infantilism is revealed in our movie choice and I am referring to the science fiction type that won ground in the last decade and reached the top like the series Harry Potter, “Star Wars”, “Lord of the rings”, etc.
As it is, the fact that a comic book gave birth to a series of movies, cartoons, radio and TV shows. I am referring to fictional comic book superhero co-created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger. The latest movie of the dark hero was launched last weekend and managed to break some records. During the first night of his debut, “The Dark Knight” overcome the 2005 performance of "Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith" with a record $18.5 million from 3,040 theaters, according to distributor Warner Bros.
The expectations are high as tickets were reserved in advanced it is most likely for "The Dark Knight" to enter the great top 10 other films that debuted on non-holiday weekends and won over $100 million from Friday to Sunday. That is half of what it requested to pay to actually do the movie, $185 millions. Of course Heath Ledger, the hunk interpreting the antagonist, Joker, is one of the factors, as well as the fact that the movies was directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale as Batman. There are already rumors on some Oscar nominations, but we have to wait and see how it will all turn out to be. Don’t click away!
