The Dark Knight
Holy Box Office! Batman is back in The Dark Knight. Our full review is up, and in our opinion this is the best Batman movie yet. Based on the presales numbers, expect a lot of sold out shows.
If you get to the theater too late and still need a comic book or superhero fix, there are a couple of decent hold overs. Hellboy II: The Golden Army is likely to be quite lonely this week. If you want something a little lighter, you'll likely really enjoy Will Smith as Hancock.
