Batman Update...AGAIN

Christopher Nolan's version of Batman: The Dark Knight has taken a new record!

According to NY Times: “
The Dark Knight” has sold $314.2 million in tickets domestically in its first 10 days of release, a record. The film is still rolling out internationally.

We're not talking about other merchandise or promo sales. These are only for tickets in the US market.

Most of the hype of course was led by the acclaimed performance of the late Heath Ledger. Christopher' Nolan's version also had a major impact on how Batman was repackaged, taking cue from Batman Begins; and the believable intensity of Christian Bale.

Throw in our love for superhero flicks and the beaten down, depressed public amidst the global crisis; we've got ourselves an effective diversion.
