The Dark Knight

Another great Batman movie that was in my opinion the best in the trilogy. Love this movie love the characters and love the joker this movie includes so many characters that overall work very well together as a whole and make this a amazing movie to watch.

This is a perfect example of a sequel that outshines the original. The obvious high light of this movie is Heath Ledger as joker, this version of joker has become so iconic with very memorable lines such as “why so serious”. The biggest part that sells joker in this is Heath Ledgers performance, he makes joker feel like a genuine psychopath at the same time as feeling like a comic book villain that dresses as a clown feel like something that can be real.
Rest in peace Heath Ledger.

On rewatch I’m kind of realizing that a lot of what makes this movie work for me is Heath Ledger. The Joker is pretty much the only thing I see people reference from this movie. It is one of the most iconic performances ever. Everything else is just good. A ton of the dialogue is very cringe. They pretty much just say the message they are going for out loud a couple of times. I also think Christian Bale is not a good Batman at all. I don’t buy him as Bruce Wayne and his Batman persona isn’t intimidating in the slightest. The best Batman I’ve seen is probably the Patterson one. Harvey Dent is kind of interesting but the whole Two Face thing felt rushed. I would’ve liked to see more of Two Face but he barely gets any time to be evil. The action is great, the practical effects make everything feel more thrilling. Hans Zimmer’s score is great, though it doesn’t compare to Elfman or even Giacchino. Getting back to the Joker, every scene he is in is very engaging. They should make a solo movie with him or something. But if this movie didn’t have the Joker I feel like people wouldn’t be calling it one of the greatest movies ever made. That’s not to say that the rest of the movie isn’t good, it’s well shot, well directed, thrilling, and overall engaging. But the Joker is the only part that I’d call truly exceptional. IMO Nolan peaked with projects like Memento and Oppenheimer, where he could tell more mature and complex stories without having to appeal to the superhero movie crowd. That’s not to say if you like this movie then you’re not mature, I’m just saying that with these movies it feels like Nolan is dumbing himself down a little.

Probably the best superhero movie of all time. Joker is an amazing character and everything he does is extremely entertaining.

Impressive and moving. This is the first time I've seen the live-action Joker and I was not disappointed by the performance. The action is enjoyable and fun, but the serious parts are very deep and make for an excellent plot.

The Dark Knight is an absolute classic with the highest level of acting and special effects. Personally, I think the Joker did a incredible job playing a psychotic clown. The story is pretty good with a lot of thought put into it. All in all, great movie.

As one of the best examples of a sequel doing better than the OG, Batman is at his peak here with the best Joker outstanding performance from Heath Ledger
