Many people are doubting my $900 million prediction (domestic) and I did expect that but now I'll clear it all up for people who have a hard time understanding.

Domestic:
Batman Begins: Weekend Opening: $48,745,440
The Dark Knight: Weekend Opening: $158,411,483

That is an increase of an estimated 3.2 times! When there was no big difference in the the budget between both movies. This was mostly because of the high response the first film got from IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. The second film only exceeded the first film when it came to early reviews and the IMDB response was overwhelming. Due to that fact that the The Dark Knight had over the top reviews from critics and it is one of the highest rated films on IMDB it will exceed the Dark Knight in opening weekend drastically. And movies such as the Avengers and Amazing Spiderman also increased the female audiences for super hero movies and therefore the same effect will possibly happen.

Another important factor is the huge increase of hype in this film which makes it possible to be the biggest film of all time domestically.
