The Dark Knight Was Released 15 Years Ago Today

 

15 years ago this day, Christopher Nolan's second Batman film in "The Dark Knight" was released by Warner Bros. Pictures in US theaters. It would be the sequel to 2005's "Batman Begins" and the second instalment of "The Dark Knight Trilogy" - seeing actor Christian Bale reprise his role as Bruce Wayne/ Batman as he continued to wage his vigilante war against crime and corruption in Gotham City. He allies himself with GCPD cop James Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) to take down the mob once and for all. Unfortunately for them they fail to recognise the growing threat of a criminal mastermind known as The Joker (the late Heath Ledger) as he systematically takes down everything in Gotham through anarchy and chaos.

The Dark Knight - Original Theatrical Trailer Considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest films ever made, The Dark Knight broke the mold in several levels - and ushered in a new perception for superhero movies thanks to its grounded crime film approach as well as Heath Ledger as The Joker - which would ultimately be one of his last performances prior to tragically passing away in January 2008. The actor would post-humously win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the Clown Prince of Crime, and TDK would go on to win big in the Box Office and further heighten Nolan's status as a bigtime filmmaker - especially with his pioneering use of the IMAX format for big blockbuster films. 

The success of The Dark Knight would lead to a third and final film in Nolan's Batman trilogy in "The Dark Knight Rises" - ending Bruce Wayne's story and journey as Gotham's vigilante hero and defender.

Why So Serious?  Welcome To A World Without Rules. Happy 15 years, TDK! 

The Dark Knight turns 12 years; Check out Prime 1 Studio's upcoming 1/2 scale statue

12 years ago, "The Dark Knight" - the sequel to Batman Begins and the second entry in what would ultimately become "The Dark Knight Trilogy", was released in theaters in 2008 - becoming one of the most highly acclaimed superhero movies ever made and arguably the best Batman movie next to Tim Burton's "Batman". Christian Bale reprised his role as Bruce Wayne and put on the Batsuit once more - to take on the late great Heath Ledger's Joker and defend it from the anarchy and chaos he unleashed in a very realistic Gotham City.

To commemorate the occasion and give fans and collectors the opportunity to take home "something pretty big" - Prime 1 Studio has solicited their upcoming 1/2 scale The Dark Knight Batman Statue - and it's as impressive as it looks. Check out the video below for a 360 view:
