It's been 10 years since The Dark Knight [1], aka the Batman movie of all Batman movies, was released and changed the game for superhero films. In honour of the film's big 1-0, Warner Bros. is re-releasing it exclusively in four select IMAX theatres. That's right: for one week beginning Friday, Aug. 24, you'll get to see Heath Ledger [2]'s Joker and Christian Bale [3]'s Bruce Wayne battle it out in all their IMAX glory. Tickets officially go on sale July 20 for the select IMAX locations: AMC Citywalk [4] in Universal City, CA, AMC Lincoln Square [5] in New York, AMC Metreon [6] in San Francisco, and the Ontario Place Cinesphere [7] in Toronto.

Though The Dark Knight was the sequel to Christopher Nolan's 2005 Batman Begins, it's arguably the landmark film in his Dark Knight Trilogy. The Dark Knight took Nolan's story of Bruce Wayne to a whole new level by spitting him against a seemingly sociopathic Joker and enraged Harvey Dent (sublimely played by Aaron Eckhart [8]), who by the end of film has become his supervillian alter-ego Two-Face. Ledger's performance as the Joker [9] had audiences shook; his dedication to bringing out the twisted in Batman's iconic nemesis resulted in a posthumous best supporting actor Oscar win and eternal status as one of the best Jokers to grace the big screen.

Not only was The Dark Knight a massive box office success, opening to $158.4 million, and closing at $1 billion worldwide, but Nolan literally changed the fact of feature filmmaking! The director teamed up with Oscar-winning cinematographer Wally Pfister and made The Dark Knight the first major feature to utilize IMAX 70mm film. So don't forget to grab your tickets on July 20 and watch the Dark Knight Trilogy beforehand to brush up on the awesomeness that Nolan gave us.
