The Dark Knight is the greatest superhero movie ever made

The Joker character was past phenomenal and Ledger rocked it!
 
The Dark Knight is very good film. I give it about an 8.

But it's the Heath Ledger show. They should of just titled it 'The Joker'.

Nothing weird about that take. BB was the first time I felt the studio got a Batman movie right. Seeing Bruce training with Ra's in the mountains, with Hans Zimmer score playing, for the first time back in 2005 was unreal. And that first scene we get of Batman at the docks; 19 year old me was like "yes, this is what I've been waiting for!"

But TDK takes everything they established with Bruce's motivations and how his presence as Batman just might not be for the best in Gotham; and they just run with it. It truly is the Empire Strikes Back of comic book films.

But yeah, BB and TDK compliment each other so well. You can't go wrong with either.
 
TDK is certainly a great movie. It was so good as a film that you almost forget its even a comic book film. For that reason, its definitely a top 3 comic movie, easily arguable for #1. The only comic movies I compare it with are ironically other Batman movies. Batman 89 and Begins.

Without a doubt, the Batman universe has provided us with the greatest comic book experience to hit cinemas and tv.

Batman OG tv show
Batman
Batman Returns
Batman The Animated Series
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises
Joker
The Animated Movies
Hell, even the Arkham series of video games were epic.

Batman is seriously the best of the best of all entertainment when it comes to comics.

Yep. the dark Knight is really well done in so many ways. Christopher Nolan was on such a roll back then. Just great movies one after another.

But Dumbkirk, Tenet, and Oppenheimer are all such an enormous step down in writing.

Avengers Infinity war is a contender too. I love that movie. I just watch that one and pretend endgame doesn't exist and the story ends with Thanos winning. Makes it much better.
 
hard to argue against the dark knight, that would get my vote as well.

A Couple that give it a run for its money include:

gaurdians of the galaxy 1,
into the spiderverse,
unbreakable,
kickass,
blade
 
I love nearly every single marvel movie that has been produced.


but you may be right. the dark night is a very powerful film.
 
TDK is what happen when you remove super hero fun from super hero movies to please "gritty realism" crowd that became trendy at some point

I'm not even american comics/marvel/super hero fan, but Marvel movies nail the super hero circus style better with colors and over the top action

Same, feels much more a "Batman Movie" and less Nolan does Nolan shit

Wich even Nolan admitted in some interview i remember, saying in Begins he had to stick more to the source/Batman style while when doing TDK he had freedom to do as he wanted

Take away Batman's mask and some Joker's make-up and TDK could have been whatever else lol

You missed a word (comic? movie?) out of your title.....proof you're wrong.

What do I win?

Quite a few non superhero comic/graphic novel films would be in the discussion, A History of Violence, Akira, Road to Perdition, Blue is the Warmest Colour, Ghost in the Shell, Nausicaa, etc

As far as The Dark Knight goes I like it well enough but honestly I never felt it was THAT much above the other two Nolan Batman films and I'd probably rate the Reeves Batman over any of the Nolans, a few of the better MCU films as well perhaps.
