And the web is going bananas with tidbits on the most anticipated movie of the summer. Here’s some of the MANY Bat-related articles online right now…

In the credits for the film, which I believe just like Batman Begins comes at the very end (I.E: The film starts just after the Warner Bros. logo) is this dedication…

“In memory of our friends Heath Ledger & Conway Wickliffe“

Both passed away during the production of the film. Conway Wicklifee, you may remember was the special effects technician killed in a car accident on set, a tragic loss that is becoming more and more common for big blockbusters these days as they push the boundaries of human limits for bigger and bigger action sequences.

Speaking of Ledger, Michael Caine predicts Oscar.

It’s been reported that DOZENS of the midnight showings for the film next month are sold out, with some outlets putting together 3am screenings on that Friday morning straight after the first showings to supply the demand.

This comes after one box office analyst predicted that the movie could over-take last year’s Spider-Man 3 opening as the biggest domestic opening weekend of all time. To do that it would need $151 million, a massive sum – three times as much as Batman Begins made domestically in it’s opening days.

But then all it takes is 2 more people for every 1 that went to see the last one… and this movie is MAJORLY hyped right now and has so many fans from DVD. It’s certainly not beyond the realms of possibility.

A new and very creepy t.v. spot can be seen here…

Peter Travis of Rolling Stone Magazine has seen the film and gives it 3.5 out of 4 stars in his review…

Heads up: a thunderbolt is about to rip into the blanket of bland we call summer movies… The haunting and visionary Dark Knight soars on the wings of untamed imagination. It’s full of surprises you don’t see coming. And just try to get it out of your dreams.

We have much more on The Dark Knight in the weeks to come, same Bat-Time… same Bat-Channel!
