Watch: THE DARK KNIGHT Video Compares Storyboards to Final Film

Christopher Nolan's Batman sequel The Dark Knight is one of the best superhero movies ever made. Even if star Christian Bale feels his performance was lacking and he couldn't raise his game enough to match what Heath Ledger was doing as The Joker (he's kinda right about that last part), it's still an outrageously good movie, and I think a lot of people reading this site would point to it as one of their favorites.

Glass Distortion tracked down some of the film's storyboards for the truck sequence and put together a quick video showing how the final movie matches up to them. It's always cool to get a little peek behind the curtain into the development process, and since storyboards for big blockbusters don't make the rounds on movie blogs as much as VFX breakdowns or other aspects of filmmaking might, this should be nice for the artists out there to see how it all comes together.
