Review of The Dark Knight (2008) by Thomasljogues — 13 Nov 2014
Easily the best movie of not only the Nolan batman trilogy, but of his entire career, this is without a doubt the perfect superhero movie. Its hero truly is a hero, not one who does what he does for the glory, but for doing the right thing, regardless of how much those he serves hate him in return.
The hero is not perfect, as he does fall, showing even further his immense humanity. The villain is not a stock character who is easily defeated, but a man with a troubled and unclear past, whose genius seems to always win.
The battle for Gotham's soul is fought between a strict moral code and nihilism, the immovable object and the unstoppable force.
