Heath Ledger as Joker in Dark Knight

Warner Bros. ‘The Dark Knight‘ became the number one grosser in the comic book genre in North America. It surpassed Spider-Man which held this record for quite some time.

The Christopher Nolan directed Batman Begins follow-up added $5.67 million on Tuesday to bring its massive total to $405.7 million after just 19 days. Spider-Man reached $403.7 million domestically during its entire run in 2002.

The movie will next target Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, which sits at #6 with $423.3 million. It has a lot of ground to cover before it can take on the Highest Domestic grosser of all time ie. Titanic with $600 million.
