As we all enter a time where we are looking to fill our boredom, Netflix is just the thing to help. Look no further than one of the top-notch superhero films to exist. It delivers on the beloved character of Batman, while also not feeling like just a film about a superhero. Nolan makes a lot of absolutely beautifully shot films, and The Dark Knight might just be one of his best looking of the bunch. My absolute favorite comic book hero film, yes even above all the Marvel movies. The film really broke the mold for superhero movies to come.
Following the events of Batman Begins, Batman and James Gordon continue in their efforts to bring down organized crime in Gotham. Their efforts are escalated when a mysterious and crazed criminal known only as The Joker starts wreaking havoc in Gotham. With everything he loves on the line, Bruce Wayne must confront his inner demons to bring down his most challenging of opponents yet.
Heath Ledger’s Joker was nothing short of being iconic. Christian Bale’s Batman is really good, but we all know who the real star of the show here is. Heath Ledger. It really is a shame that Heath wasn’t able to see how incredible his performance was to the film and how admired he was. This was his last completed role before his tragic death in January 2008. Ledger really gave his all into this role and perfectly portrays the menacing acts of the Joker character. His performance, along with the rest of the amazing casts performances really elevate the story. I think The Dark Knight is one of the best movies ever made, and possibly the best superhero movie of all time as well. With Christopher Nolan’s direction, the action, the cinematography and the performances, you are in for a perfect movie.
