Mickey Rourke’s performance as Randy “the Ram” Robinson in “The Wrestler” is the kind of thing you can’t wait to tell everybody you know about. You may have heard the first whispers about it already. Since debuting at the Venice Film Festival last week and premiering in North America at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this week, the buzz has started to build.

Warner Brothers has officially confirmed that The Dark Knight will be re-released in theaters again next January just in time for the Oscars. “It’s just a matter of bringing it back as a reminder for people.” The film will return specifically to IMAX theaters for now and they’re uncertain if it’ll return to conventional theaters as well.

Announcement of the reboot — a complete reimagining along the lines of this year’s “The Incredible Hulk” — comes two years after director Bryan Singer failed to capture public imagination with a conflicted take on the Big Blue Boy Scout, and nearly two months after the gritty, nihilistic “The Dark Knight” opened to record-breaking numbers.

It’s already the second-highest-grossing movie of all time, a gigantic cultural juggernaut that will soon break $500 million domestically. If you haven’t seen “The Dark Knight” at least twice, well, you haven’t really seen it at all. And, yet, for some people, the ending of the latest Batman film is still a complete and utter mystery, especially regarding the fate of Harvey “Two-Face” Dent, the villain played with such delicious glee by Aaron Eckhart.
(Massive spoilers ahead if you’re one of the two cave-dwelling people in America who has yet to see “The Dark Knight.”)
