I thought we were making too much about this billion dollar thing. I mean it was just a few hundred thouasand dollars difference. Then I took one look at the charts and I realized

$1,001,082,160 <-----------Ten Digits looks alot better than
$999,345,197 <-----------Nine Digits

The Dark Knight had been hovering just shy of $1 billion for several months and sat at $997 million when Warner Bros. relaunched it on Jan. 23, timed to take advantage of the announcement of the Academy Awards nominations on Jan. 22. A Best Picture nod did not materialize, but Warner's push was nonetheless enough to reach ten digits. Curiously, after weeks of silence on Dark Knight's latest foreign grosses, Warner suddenly chimed in with the announcement of the $1 billion milestone shortly before the Academy Awards air on Sunday.

The actual date that The Dark Knight crossed $1 billion is unknown at this time. Clearly, it's unlikely that it happened today or on Thursday, because its box office is at a trickle now and Warner Bros.' new figure is more than a million above a billion.

Not just congratulations to those who worked on TDK, but congratulations to Batman as a character, he's hit yet another milestone in his 70 year life.

The first movie to cross the 1 billion line without an lead actor who is incredibly feminine!

Who would win this fight?

Congratulations to The Dark Knight in achieving this level of status . In not only being an epic sequel film to Batman Begins but to also exceeding and surpass the expectations of the film critics organization and the General public .

TDK not only raise the bar for future films in this type of film genre, But also it sends a message that just because it's a superhero film or comic book film movie it doesn't have to be dumb down to camp but actually can be a serious film that deals with serious themes etc.
