Being the BIGGEST fan of batman ever, I thougth it would be a great idea to spread the word on this extremely well made, nearly perfect movie that won two oscars, and is the second comic-book movie to get more than one and the sixth to win any.
While most comic book movies in the early to middle twothousands had a nag for turning broody, melodramatic and depressed, wich was often mistaken for realism and the trend has luckily worn of with Cristopher Nolan leading the way to a much more realised and life-like style of making superhero flicks that are actually intresting to watch and emmerging. The amount of superhero movies being made has exploded with atleast thirty scheduled until 2019 from both DC and marvel.
How does this relate to The dark knight? you might be asking. It was the first to truly create a living breathing world and realise that films cannot be made to look like comic books, and the first to make a real-life-y suit and figthing. The influence from the dark knight can clearly be seen in nearly every superhero movie after 2008, for instance, Man of steel tried to use Nolans batman formula and miserably failed at it not realising that it cannot be copied.
The villains in movies have also changed after Heath Ledgers potrayal of the Joker, most movie bad guys have become more realistic and psychological, just look at Loki in Thor and the Avengers to see the influence. But its not just the villains that have changed, everything from suits to editing and sounds have been changed after The Dark Knight. These may seem like tiny little details but they can really make or break an expiriebce.
I'm going to leave you with a little fun fact: Right before the Joker-Two-face scene the police officer shot by the joker is shouting for a person named "Davis" who in the 1989 movie batman is the Doctor who attempts to fix jokers face leaving him looking like he did.
