I think it will bank a lot of money but I do not see it beating Spiderman 3. The Heath Ledger thing is gonna bring in people but it also might have the opposite effect of making people stay away because of it. Batman Begins was a hit but the total US Box Office for that film was on 205 mil. Of course that could be considered part of the bad taste from Batman and Robin, and people not realizing it was a completely different film. Batman fans are out there, but I think it will not stand a chance of beating Spiderman 3. There is also the fact that Spiderman is far more family friendly than Dark Knight will be. Cautious parents will not take their kids to this movie, while they would take them to Spiderman.
