The Dark Knight is a 2008 superhero film directed, produced, and co-written by Christopher Nolan. It was released in Australia on July 16, 2008. The Dark Knight grossed $1,004,558,444 worldwide,[1] becoming the fourth film in history to gross more than $1 billion worldwide[2] and the highest-grossing film of 2008. It is currently the 16th highest-grossing film of all time. The Dark Knight also received a high critical acclaim, accumulating an approval rating of 94% on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.[3]
At the People's Choice Awards—in which the winners are determined by the choices of the people (audience) in the Gallup polls—The Dark Knight won five awards, including: Favorite Movie, Favorite Action Movie, Favorite Superhero (Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman), Favorite On Screen Match-Up (Christian Bale and Heath Ledger), and Favourite Cast.[4]
At the 81st Academy Awards, The Dark Knight won Academy Awards for Best Sound Editing and Ledger was posthumously awarded Best Supporting Actor. Notably, the film's Best Sound Editing win prevented Best Picture winner Slumdog Millionaire from having a clean category-sweep.
