Dark Knight Costume
Having a Dark Knight Costume will make you the hit of the party! Did you know that The Dark Knight set a new record for the biggest opening-day gross at the box office with $66.4 million? Of course you did because you were at the theatre watching it!
These work great as group costumes! Get your friends together and each of you can get your own Dark Knight Costume! One of you as Batman, one as The Joker, one as Scarecrow! You can even bring your pets to match!
And because The Joker was THE BEST VILLIAN EVER, check out this whole page dedicated to The Joker.
To get you into the spirit of a Dark Knight Costume, here are a few of my favorite quotes and trivia from this Batman movie!
Alfred:
Were you mauled by a tiger?
Bruce
Wayne: It was a dog...
Alfred:
Huh?
Bruce
Wayne: It was a big dog!
Bruce
Wayne: More copycats today, Alfred, with guns.
Alfred:
Why don't you hire them and take the weekend off?
The
Joker:
You just couldn't let me go could you? This is what happens when
an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are
incorruptible aren't you? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense
of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you, because you're just too
much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.
Batman: You'll be in
a padded cell forever.
The
Joker:
Maybe we can share one. They'll be doubling up, the rate
this city's inhabitants are losing their minds.
Batman:
What did you do?
The
Joker: I took Gotham's white knight, and brought him down
to our level.
It wasn't hard. Y'see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it
takes is a little...push.
[laughs]
Batman:
Sometimes, truth
isn't good enough, sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people
deserve to have their faith rewarded.
This is the first Batman film to not have "Batman" in the title.
While
filming on the streets of Chicago in April 2007, the filming was
carried out under the fake movie title "Rory's First Kiss". Fliers
regarding the filming carried this fake title, complete with a fake
"RFK" logo for the movie and an address for the film's production
offices. The fake movie title was named for Nolan's son, Rory.
Bruce
Wayne develops and wears a new Batsuit in the film. This Batsuit was an
improvement on the outfit from Batman Begins (2005), and made Christian
Bale more comfortable and agile in his performance. It was constructed
from 200 unique pieces of rubber, fiberglass, metallic mesh, and nylon
(producing an impression of sophisticated technology), with elastic
banding added for tightening the costume to fit Bale. The gauntlets had
their razors made retractable and able to be fired. The suit's cowl was
based on a motorcycle helmet and separated from the neck piece,
allowing Bale to move his head left/right/up/down, and comes equipped
with white eye lenses for when Batman turns on Bat-sonar.
