20 Perfect Shots From Oscar Winning Movies

6. The Dark Knight - Ending

You could cherry-pick hundreds of stunning stills from the greatest comic book movie of all time, but none is quite as impactful as that delirious closing image of Batman speeding off into the night with the entirety of the Gotham City PD searching for him.

Hans Zimmer's sweeping score and Gary Oldman's epic narration bolster an extremely elemental, statuesque shot that adds some always-welcome iconic imagery to the Caped Crusader's cinematic canon.

Sure, the impact is drained a little when you remember that Batman just drove back to the Batcave and chilled out as Bruce Wayne with zero chance of ever getting caught, but it's still an incredible shot.
