The thought of a “Spider-Man 4″ should send a shudder through comic book faithful. Remember “Batman and Robin?” “Superman 4: The Quest for Peace?”

We have a new champion, folks. “The Dark Knight” will haul in between $153 and $155 million this weekend, according to track-master general Nikki Finke.
That beats the previous non-holiday weekend record set by “Spider-Man 3″ - and that’s a film that doesn’t deserve to hold a single record.
But can “The Dark Knight” keep on keepin’ on? It’s not a film for the kiddies, and word of that will surely spread (although the 1 year old who sat a few seats down from me at my screening didn’t complain a bit)
Then again, I can’t imagine people watching this and not all but dragging their pals to go see it with them.
Did anyone out there hate it? Feel it was a major letdown? Let me know …
