Wonder Woman Vs The Dark Knight: Which Is Better?

10. Narrative

The Dark Knight remains one of the most ambitious superhero movie stories to date, daring to meld Batman's more typical duel with The Joker around a more morally complex, Michael Mann-esque crime narrative, and that's without even mentioning the late-day addition of Two-Face once the Clown Prince of Crime is dealt with.

Conversely, Wonder Woman adopts a similar approach to Captain America: The First Avenger, depicting a war-time superhero who has yet to fully embrace their popular persona, while fending off the typical period adventure movie baddies: evil Germans.

Winner: The Dark Knight is the easy winner here because it did something incredibly ambitious with the typical comic book movie formula, whereas Wonder Woman was basically the solid execution of a familiar template. Wonder Woman's tone is arguably a more agreeable mix of light and dark, but Batman wins overall.
