One of Christopher Nolan's masterpieces.

What can I say about the Dark Knight that hasn't already been said? The film is perfect. Not many films have zero flaws, but The Dark Knight is one of them. The suspense, unpredictable story, and cut-throat pace are just a few of the main reasons this film is lauded as an all-time classic.
It is the only superhero film truly transcending the genre. It expands its scope into so many previously unseen regions. Indeed, it is mind-boggling that a batman film can be a work of art.
Christopher Nolan is a visionary, and one of the world's most talented filmmakers. He is one of the few blockbuster filmmakers who still have complete artistic freedoms over the process of making films and I can not be more grateful for that fact. His shooting in this movie might be the best of his career, and that is saying a lot.
Now to Heath Ledger, a legend whose brilliance never saw the sun. I wonder if Heath realized when he was shooting this film that he put together one of the best performances in film history by an actor. His interpretation of the Joker, combined with the vision of Nolan, is one of the best performances ever put on film. This is not to understate the rest of the performances. Bale, Cane, Maggie, Oldman, Eckhart, and the rest of the cast all worked fantastically.
