A Template for a Comic Book Movie

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2016)

The Dark Knight is an iconic comic book template, setting the golden standards how the genre should be approached. It not only shows how masked vigilante would be perceived in a real society, but also brings a cast of characters that are real, yet bizarre at the same time. The strict realism combined with unbound creativity brings us Nolan's The Dark Knight. While it's predecessor was realistic and brilliant on it's own, too much time was spent on exposition and laying the pipework. But once it was done Dark Knight became possible and Nolan surpassed all expectations. Rarely have we seen a comic book movie that broke Nolan's standards be so successful.
