CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

The Dark Knight was the first major motion picture to utilize high-resolution IMAX cameras, with about 28 minutes of the film being shot in this format, a significant amount for its time. This technology, which was typically used for documentaries, allowed for a greater scope and detail in the film's visuals.

Director Christopher Nolan avoided using computer-generated imagery whenever possible, opting instead for practical stunts such as flipping an 18-wheel truck and blowing up a factory, adding to the film's realism. This commitment to practical effects made the action sequences more impactful and believable.

The story for The Dark Knight was developed with the idea of escalation in mind, where Batman's war on crime would lead to an opposing escalation by criminals, attracting the Joker. This theme of escalating conflict is central to the plot and drives the narrative forward.
