Dark Knight (2008)
Great movie, never seen Batman Begins so I better get on that. Some things I found interesting about this movie in particular when comparing the characters from "The Batman universe", Batman comics from the 1940's. Harvey Dent also known as "Two-Face" was originally named "Harvey Kent" (Read Batman Chronicles volume 5-7 in one of those graphic novels, they had a published "Detective Comics" issue of where Two-Face is introduced to readers, his story is different in the Dark Knight than it was originally.

For Example;

Original Story:
Harvey Kent's face was utterly scarred when an angered defendant threw a vial of acid in his face, his spouse left him because of his ugliness. He then devoted his life to crime, by 50/50 chance, using a coin to determine one's fate.

Dark Knight:
Harvey Dent, Gotham City district Attorney. the one that Bruce Wayne wants to take over for him one day. Has a soon to be wife, Rachel who is also Bruce Wayne's oldest friend. they are both captured and only one can survive, they reach him before they get to her and his face is burned by gasoline, he then becomes Two-face, DA gone mad.

Just something I found interesting. :P
