Do you remember when superhero movies used to be slightly camp, even comedic? Nolan's take on the Batman played a decent part in getting us to treat our comic book heroes rather more seriously.Rewatching The Dark Knight I'm struck by how grounded it is. Most of the action feels plausible as does the psychologies and psychopathies of the principle characters. The dialogue too is serviceable rather than occupying the hyperreal.
The canvas in which universal themes like corruption, weakness and sacrifice are explored is anything but though.
Verdict: Epic and game changing
