Surpasses Batman Begins in every way an cements Nolan's position as one of the best directors of the 21st century.

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2014)

The Dark Knight is dark, gritty and unpredictable. It's Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan's magnificent screenplay that makes this a true crime epic. The way Nolan brothers portrayed the battle between light and dark, the Joker being the antithesis of Batman questioning him about everything he stands for by making him face moral dilemmas is a brilliant piece of writing.
The action is shot well, the non linear story is packed with sub plots but keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole time. Ledger's performance is monumental and the rest of the cast do a great job as well. The only downside is that Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy can no longer be considered a children's film given the complex dialogue and dark crime feeling the film exudes.
The Dark Knight not only tops every film in the superhero genre by a long LONG way but transcends the genre to majestic proportions. The Dark Knight has proved to the world that comic book films can be worthy of novelistic appreciation.
