Semi-protected edit request on 8 May 2020

Please change the following sentence, to make it more specific. The change is the addition of the specific edition of the Academy awards when the film got nominated, and a link to its wiki page. From : "The film received eight Academy Award nominations; it won the award for Best Sound Editing and Ledger was posthumously awarded Best Supporting Actor." To: "At the 81st Academy Awards, the film received eight Academy Award nominations; it won the award for Best Sound Editing and Ledger was posthumously awarded Best Supporting Actor." 184.150.237.222 (talk) 20:36, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

 Done, although I trimmed your suggestion to remove "Academy Award". GoingBatty (talk) 22:30, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Box Office

Is the box office at $1.004 billion or $1.038 billion. I think Box Office Mojo messed it up. It's $1.004 billion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.81.43.160 (talk) 03:59, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

 Done, check WP:BOXOFFICE for more information. El Millo (talk) 04:33, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Legacy section

This sentence in the legacy section "Several critics have noted that later films imitated The Dark Knight's dark and gritty tone without replicating the quality of its writing, acting, or plot structure" takes the hollywood reporter source out of context and goes somewhat against what the source is saying. In addition, the sentence seems to act as if whether or not other films replicated the Dark Knight's quality of writing, acting, or plot structure is a measurable fact. Plus in the same hollywood report source, the author writes "And Zack Snyder’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the film that comes closest to Nolan’s films in terms tackling the political and philosophical mire of today, was scorned, despite the fact that his depiction of the characters falls closer to the comics than any of Nolan’s Batman films, and offers a clear vision for these characters as opposed to imitation. While we so often refer to The Dark Knight as the best comic book adaptation, filmmakers and audiences have largely failed to learn from its creative lessons: comic book characters are malleable. They are able to be grounded or fantastic, able to be prestigious or pure blockbuster entertainment, to be dark and gritty or light, to be character-driven or action-packed, or any variation in-between." This contradicts much of the rest of the legacy paragraph on wikipedia. Pineapple4321 (talk) 23:07, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Change the actor for Rachel Dawes to Katie Holmes instead of Maggie Gyllenhaal. Void Lard (talk) 06:25, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

That doesn't appear to be correct – Thjarkur (talk) 07:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

@Void Lard: The Dark Knight (film)#Cast says: "Gyllenhaal took over the role from Katie Holmes, who played the part in Batman Begins". Katie Holmes is credited in Batman Begins. PrimeHunter (talk) 08:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Commentary and Themes and Analysis should be one section

Shouldn't commentary and themes and analysis be one section as the commentary is analyzing the film? Pineapple4321 (talk) 20:13, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
