The Dark Knight brought the highest number of dollars to any midnight showing, $18.5 million.  The Batman movie even beat out Revenge of the Sith, which brought in $16.9 million on its midnight showing.

The cape crusader is in for a huge money making weekend. Christian Bale is fantastic as Batman, and I always enjoy Michael Caine. However, watching Heath Ledger in his posthumous performance as The Joker will be hard for me.  Such a talented actor who is sorely missed.
