20 Movie Scenes That Are Totally Flawless
20. You Complete Me - The Dark Knight (2008)
One of the most pivotal moments in Christopher Nolan's superhero masterpiece The Dark Knight comes around the halfway mark, where Joker (Heath Ledger) has been apprehended by Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and sent in for interrogation regarding the disappearance of Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart).
Whilst being questioned, Joker is blindsided by Batman (Christian Bale), who tries to get the villain to talk before learning Joker's plan is much larger than anyone thought.
In a twisted stroke of evil genius, Joker admits he's kidnapped both Harvey and Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal), and that Batman will only be able to save one of them before they're killed.
In many ways, the scene is symbolic of the entire film, pitting Batman against his most cunning and sinister adversary whilst having the Joker outsmart him at every turn.
Throw in the acting power of Heath Ledger and Hans Zimmer's spine-tingling score for good measure, and what you have is a scene that transcends not just Nolan's film, but the entire Dark Knight trilogy.
