Editorial Reviews

Review

“Whether read from cover to cover or just casually flipped…this is one book Batman fanatics with an appreciation for visuals can’t be without.” ~Bookgasm.com

"Teens who want to delve more deeply in the movie's essenence will be captivated by Craig Byrne's The Dark Knight from Universe Publishing." ~School Library Journal


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’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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Its a Script Book, July 25, 2008
The script accounts for 3/4s of this book. The 1/4 of the book that's left has barely passable production art photos and interviews. In other words this is mainly a script book which skimps out considerably on the "featured production art" it proudly advertises on the front cover. This is a big disappointment compared to the book "The Art of Batman Begins" by Mark Cotta Vaz. It should get a 2 rating if not for that fact that its about The Dark Knight.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dark Knight: Behind the Scenes, July 22, 2008
By J. Butts (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is awesome, big and heavy, but awesome. I usually dont buy things like this, I love Chris Nolan's work/imagination, Batman and Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. If you like these things, you will love this book. The first 60 pages or so are drawings/concept art of all sorts of things ranging from the Batpod to Harvery/Two Face. There is alot of cool Joker stuff as well...you wouldn't believe some of the original concepts. Page 66 and beyond is the script, and if you have seen the Dark Knight you know how amazing the script is. It says its the shooting script and so far it is pretty acurate to what I saw in the film. The pages are high quality and glossy. This book looks and feels like a collectors item considering the quality of it and how well this movie is doing at the box office.

5 out of 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book But Not Great!, August 25, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am an avid Batman fans. I purchased The Art of Batman Begins and normally I also purchased this book. I like this book way better than The Art of Batman Begins. It has more behind the scenes look and the script which was absent in the AOBB. My complaints for this book: Not enough coverage on the designs on Two Face, which I wouldn't mind seeing more of. The part where they discuss the making of the Joker is good, but we've seen many of his in pre-release promo materials, so not much surprise there. Overall, I still find this book a good addition to Batman movies fans everywhere.
