20 Comic Book Movies That Are Practically Flawless
1. The Dark Knight (2008)
What is there to say about Christopher Nolan's magnum opus The Dark Knight that hasn't already been said a thousand times over?
The middle chapter of Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, the superhero crime drama is as perfect a film as it's been described as over the years, thanks in large part to Heath Ledger's captivating - and terrifying - turn as the Joker, and Nolan's insistence on leaning more into a gritty realism with the story's otherwise outlandish characters.
Technically unblemished, anchored by Christian Bale's most committed turn to his dual role and the script's crafty assessments of Batman's very nature, The Dark Knight is a film no film (not even its 2012 sequel) has been able to touch since its release.
Haunting and dangerously intense, there's not a note wrong in the entire movie. Chaos and heroism has never looked so good on the big screen, and the comic book movie has never been so flawless.
