...Dark Knight's unprecedented box-office might is "mind-boggling for us," says Dan Fellman, president of domestic distribution for Warner Bros. Pictures. (TIME and Warner Bros. are both subsidiaries of Time Warner.) The film benefited from a unique mix of factors beyond the usual superhero movie hype, including a buzzed-about performance by the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, perfectly pitched marketing, agile distribution and gas prices that have made a night at the movies an attractive alternative to a summer road trip. It also helps that The Dark Knight, as most critics and audiences attest...

...early as last summer, months before Ledger's sudden death in January, Warner Bros. sensed that Nolan was filming something that might transcend mere fanboy fodder. With Batman Begins, in 2005, the director successfully rebooted the troubled franchise, but this time around his decision to go darker - and The Dark Knight is as mordant a superhero movie as there has ever been - dovetailed with the popular mood.

...work in question falls into the hands of a company, forget it. In his book American Jesus, Prothero wrote extensively about the massively reproduced 1940 portrait of Christ called "Son of Man" by the artist Warner Sallman. He wanted to use it as an illustration in the book. Sallman died in 1968, and Prothero says that the the portrait is currently owned by a religious press (a non-profit) whose price for its use was so high that he opted...

When the channel first went up for sale early this year, there were several bidders, including Time Warner (the parent company of TIME), but by last month there was just one suitor left. "I think that part of the reason the other stations backed out is because they couldn't justify paying that much," says David Trainer of New Constructs, a business valuation company in Franklin, Tenn. "If it doesn't make financial sense, the next reason to buy is ego. 'I got a new toy. My kingdom is larger...
