I’m guessing that among the many (many, many) Batman fans who are counting down the days to the premiere of The Dark Knight, there are two general groups: Those who are trying to avoid even the tiniest spoilers related to TDK and those who are dead set on absorbing every bit of Batman-related news they can feast their eyes on in anticipation of the premiere. If you’re of the latter group, these specials will probably do the trick:
HBO First Look: The Dark Knight
Premieres: Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 10:45 p.m. EST on HBO
This 13 minute special takes a look behind the scenes look at the making of The Dark Knight. It’s not even a quarter of an hour long but I’m sure we’ll get to see some brief clips of the movie and hear a bit about what went into putting the movie together.
Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of The Dark Knight
Premieres: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 9:00 p.m. on The History Channel
This special runs for 60 minutes and digs into Batman’s character in an effort to “explore how a boy scarred by tragedy becomes a symbol of hope to everyone else.” Sounds interesting, plus it might not be a bad idea to enhance your understanding of the Dark Knight before the movie hits theaters, right?
Big Movie Premiere: The Dark Knight
Premieres: Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 8:00 p.m. on The TV Guide Network
Not only will this hour-long special feature interviews with Christian Bale, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Morgan Freeman but it’ll also cover the big New York City premiere of the movie.
And if you have cable, Reelzchannel is featuring a number of Batman-themed specials. CLICK HERE for more info on that.
