Heath Ledger makes this movie, the performance is amazing and it’s painful he didn’t live to see it or the impact he made. He will eternally be the iconic version of the Joker. The movie is a classic. It’s a line of demarcation - everything before in comic book movies is prologue. Everything that has come since has to measure up. It’s the best Batman movie of the best Batman series. And damn, aren’t we lucky to have seen a world do influenced and changed by it?

That same year we even went to a Halloween party dressed up as Joker and Batman, so did a lot of people lol David Goyer who wrote the screenplay stated “For me, there are three major comic book influences within the Batman lore. There’s Year One, the Neal Adams stuff, and there is The Long Halloween. But by the time The Dark Knight comes out, it will become apparent that Long Halloween is the preeminent influence on both movies.” I'll not go into the details of Long Halloween as the comic is good there's even a solid Animated film with two parts based on the comic of the same name. From a visual Standpoint I'm not a big fan of Gotham itself feels much more like Chicago (Filmed in Chicago) than Gotham City something I find really distracting as the whole atmosphere of Gotham is missing as Chicago doesn't have much gothic architecture, has a more Art Deco aesthetic. I've been to Chicago, so I always pretend "Ah okay this looks like Chicago but just pretend it's Gotham” while with Begins and other films I didn't have to pretend as the city looked like Gotham City if that makes sense. I much prefer Batman Begins in this area even though I prefer The Dark Knight as a film. This is more of a personal thing I know people who didn't mind this Gotham as it was their first introduction to the city while others prefer Begins or after medium of Batman. Overall, an amazing film and still one of the best Superhero movies to date even if the series is more grounded compared to your typical Batman stuff. Mask of the Phantasm is still my favourite theatrical released Batman film along with The Lego Batman Movie a love letter to all things Batman a film I heavily recommend checking out after you’ve seen the Nolan movies and at least Batman 89 and Returns as the film may make references to other movies from different Batman movies. Onto Dark Knight Rises, know a lot of people have this as their favorites can't wait to see your reaction to how the trilogy ends. Side note but if you want a deeper look at these characters I highly recommend the Arkham Games one of the best renditions of the Bat verse just behind The Animated Series.
