Apparently, in some places in the country, advance tickets for the Batman sequel, "The Dark Knight," are already selling out, particularly midnight showings. The movie doesn't hit theaters until July 17/18. Some theaters haven't started selling advance tickets for the movie yet.
The first movie in the new franchise, "Batman Begins," was successful at the box office, but it wasn't an early onslaught of activity. The movie became successful over time as word of mouth spread that it was actually good. The previous Batman series of movies had gotten increasingly silly. "Batman Begins" added edge to the new franchise.
A lot of folks, I suppose, also want to see the late Heath Ledger's final performance as The Joker. I hope interest in the movie goes beyond that one factor. I haven't been particularly impressed with this summer's movies so far. Perhaps Batman will turn out decent. It has a good director in Christopher Nolan, who co-wrote the script.
