Ranking The Best Movie In Every Major Comic Book Franchise

If Batman Begins was an exercise in showing how comic book characters can succeed when a more grounded and realistic approach is applied, then The Dark Knight proved that superhero movies could sit comfortably among the finest work seen in any genre.

Quite possibly the greatest comic book flick ever made and one of the most popular, important and influential movies of the 21st Century, The Dark Knight gave Christopher Nolan a lifetime pass with both Warner Bros. and the fan community, as well as giving audiences the big screen Joker that every new incumbent will be compared to until the end of time.

Often imitated but never quite bettered, the second installment in The Dark Knight Trilogy will always endure as a monolithic achievement in superhero cinema, and no matter how many times we end up seeing Batman rebooted it will always be viewed as the benchmark.
