Trivia:
Actor/musician Dwight Yoakam turned down two different roles in this film. One was for the part of Det. Wuertz (later played by Ron Dean), as well as the small part of the Gotham National Bank manager (portrayed by William Fichtner) featured at the very beginning. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the scene where Batman jumps from the spiral parking lot ramp onto the scarecrow's van, Batman is seen falling as the van appears to his left under him. He should land on the van facing it's left side - but in the cut scene directly afterward he lands facing the same direction as the van. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Grumpy: [before a bank heist] Three of a kind, let's do this.
Chuckles: That's it, three guys?
Grumpy: And two guys on the roof. Everybody gets a share. Five shares is plenty.
Chuckles: Six shares, don't forget the guy who planned the job.
Grumpy: He thinks he can sit out and still take a slice? I know why they call him the "Joker."

An imperishable, spectacular and chaotically-brilliant movie. The Dark Knight possesses the essence that should always exist in the handover from comics to the big screen. Sequence after sequence, this is the absolute glory. A great movie that does not give a single frame to breathe. An ode to chaos and anarchy, while shares are confronted inevitably lead to a path dirty, black and hostile. A real Gotham City, dominated by fear.
This is the best film of the year. Simply, ladies and gentlemen, The Dark Knight belongs to a category where no comic adaptation could enter before.
Thanks Christopher Nolan. Simply, thank you for a film that's a lot more than the typical film based on comic books.
