"The Dark Knight", the critically acclaimed box-office smash of 2008 is making it's way to television. "The Dark Knight" will premiere on TNT Saturday, January 22 at 8:00 PM Eastern time. It will also air an encore presentation at the same time on Sunday, the 23rd.
"The Dark Knight", the successful follow-up to "Batman Begins", continues Director Christopher Nolan's story of Batman. In the film, Batman must take on his long time arch-nemesis: The Joker.
