The THE DARK KNIGHT™ arrives in Stern Pinball's new BATMAN™ pinball machine. Available through a partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Comics, BATMAN™ is based on the action-adventure movie. THE DARK KNIGHT™, released in theatres July 2008. Stern's own Lyman Sheats designed the rules for BATMAN™ pinball, and the game designer for THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ created the playfield layout. BATMAN™ is a perfect pinball machine for fans of DC Comics' BATMAN™ comic books, as well as the DARK KNIGHT™ and BATMAN BEGINS movies. BATMAN™ pinball is also a great piece for homeowners, resellers and game operators. BATMAN™ pinball offers many exciting features, including: The Joker's Reveal Mechanism, a mechanical cylinder that rotates to reveal and fight a taunting Joker. Scarecrow's Crane, a mechanical crane featuring a spring-attach pinball which the player can strike with the pinball; the BATMOBILE™ Bridge, a teeter totter mechanism that races a pinball against a Hot Wheels® BATMOBILE™; an upper mini-playfield; and lots of multi-ball action. Pinball Hall of Fame artists Kevin O'Connor and Margaret Hudson created the artwork, and Ken Hale did the sound. Gary Stern says, "BATMAN™ was a great brand for us when we made games in the 1990's. This new BATMAN™ game could be the best game we have ever built." The follow-up to BATMAN BEGINS, THE DARK KNIGHT™ reunites Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprised the role of BATMAN/BRUCE WAYNE in his continuing war on crime. With the help of LIEUTENANT JIM GORDON and District Attorney HARVEY DENT, BATMAN™ sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham City for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker, who thrusts Gotham City into anarchy and forces the DARK KNIGHT™ even closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante. Warner Bros. Pictures released THE DARK KNIGHT™ to theatres in July 2008.
