Product Description
Critically acclaimed director Christopher Nolan follows up his blockbuster film Batman Begins with the highly anticipated The Dark Knight. Batman Begins was a successful re-boot of the popular Batman franchise, and The Dark Knight sequel takes the fresh perspective further, developing the highly anticipated, raw cat-and-mouse game between our superhero Batman and his twisted arch-nemesis The Joker. Celebrated stars include Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman, returning as Batman, Alfred, Lucius Fox, and Lieutenant Gordon, respectively; and new additions Heath Ledger as The Joker, as well as Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Aaron Eckhart. The Art of the Dark Knight is the ultimate companion book to the movie, showcasing production ephemera including storyboard art, character sketches, Nolan#8217;s original shooting script, still photos, and even personal behind-the-scenes material created by the Nolans and Crowley during the movie. The Art of the Dark Knight is certain to appeal to diehard and new fans alike.

 Big name big book, little art!!! November 18, 2008
Kevin Man
I love the movie, and i love to get inspired by artbook, but this book like other said its 3/4 script, major disappointment, barely any concept, and the art work wasnt all that fantastic. br /If you guys love movies artbook, i suggest the superman return artbook and the Xmen2 book, its full of awsome concept, storyboard, etc. Or most of the pixar book except a couple... like the incredible...

 Save your money for the next one November 11, 2008
D. Minto (San Francisco, CA)
This book was only meant to sucker fans out of money. It's nothing more than a shooting script decorated random bat silhouettes around the edges. Not a single interview, not a single Making-Of section in any aspect, not a single photo of The Dark Knight's Two-Face character, no alternate beginnings or endings or deleted scenes, nothing but the same exact script used for the movie. The only redeeming quality, which isn't worth Amazon's price, is the books cover; a beautifully rendered painting of the late Heath Ledger as Joker. I highly suggest saving your money for the REAL "art of" book they will surely release in the future because this certainly is not it.
it's just black and white script printed on expensive paper October 17, 2008

it's just black and white script printed on expensive paper with about 10 pages of unappealing choices of production art. The begins artbook was at least an artbook. This is not if you want this for art images.

I was drunk when I bought this book, so I feel like I was taken advantage of. But it is a great book, so it's kind of like I woke up next to a hot chick instead of a fat chick. In that case, I really can't complain. Ha:)
