After a month at the top, The Dark Knight slips down both the box office and IMDB Top 250 lists. Too bad.

In related news, this is the greatest page on the web.

The Dark Knight holds the #1 position at the US box-office for the 4th week in a row, the first film to do so since Return of the King in 2004.

Slashfilm has some scans from the Art of The Dark Knight book, showing early concepts for the Joker design. The first two in particular are even more disturbing than the final design, but I do like where they ended up.

The Guardian asks a silly question: Is The Dark Knight the greatest movie of all time? Well past 100,000 votes now, the film remains atop the IMDB Top 250 list, as judged by the site’s users and moderated by an algorithm the site keeps secret. It’s a good list, typically free from temporary whims and new releases. Obviously it failed in this instance though and I wouldn’t be surprised if the algorithm were adjusted accordingly. The Guardian is wrong, however, to suggest that it was ever “the greatest movie chart of all time”.

It turns out that The Dark Knight is the greatest movie ever made. Cool.
