Joker claims he doesn't have a plan then rigs a whole hospital with explosives.

Im not a huge Batman fan (though I love the Arkham games) but I liked it and as a home theatre junkie it has some serious LFE and mid bass slam. My subwoofers were getting a serious workout on that movie. Its an audio treat.

He also says gasoline is cheap. And that he's only burning his half. And that Rachel is where Harvey really was, and vice-versa. And that the gun was empty.

You know what

I'm starting to think this guy doesn't always tell the truth.

It is unironically one of the absolute GOATs.

There are only two things I genuinely dont love about it:

  1. Recasting Rachel (unavoidable, unfortunately)
  2. They way overdid the bat-voice. Apparently that wasnt even Christian Bales doing? They messed around with it in post production, I think. It was much better in Batman Begins
In the grand scheme, those are just very minor complaints. Man, I gotta watch that movie again.
Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds, along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest.. is silence.
The Dark Knight and Captain America Winter Soldier are the two best grounded super hero movies of all time honestly. There are no others in the genre that come close.
It's by no means the best movie ever. It's possibly the best superhero movie ever.
Re-open board 261.
I must be the only one who thinks the movie is merely okay whenever Joker's not on screen.

Thats a good way of qualifying it because for its time the grounded approach was exactly what the audiences wanted as a palette cleanser from Schumacher shenanigans.

Begins tbh.

Is it more grounded? Well, it's kinda apples oranges I guess. But it's certainly close at least. The China part in TDK is kinda not even a little grounded, for example. Begins had the "tank" "flying on rooftops" scene, but at least that might plausibly be said "tank" ramping off of weird parts of the roofs. In TDK, it just unapologetically jumps .

I love Begins too, but I think TDK is considerably better. Still respect others who prefer Begins though, and I can kind of see why they choose it, but I just personally prefer TDK by a mile.

Also I just meant in general, in regards to those movies being grounded. Like compared to other heavy hitters in the superhero genre that are considered the best (Infinity War, Logan, X2 etc), The Dark Knight/Winter Soldier/Batman Begins are much more grounded films in comparison. But they are definitely still comic book movies, so they for sure arent super realistic or anything.
It's not even the best Nolan Batman movie.

DK > Returns >>>>>> Rises imo

First two are super close, third one isn't even in the same ballpark.
This is a cool sig

That's because he's trying to trick Harvey. He also later calls Harvey his ace in the hole in the fight for Gotham's soul. He wants Harvey to think he's just some nutjob clown who just does all of this shit with no rhyme or reason.
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes, 'cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose. - Everlast
it's probably the greatest movie ever

Is it as good as The Land Before Time?

I kind of don't think so.

i don't find that to be a very good movie. its been too long for me to be able to critique it properly, so I'll just say imo tdk is much better

It Is really great, and I can see why people would consider it a GOAT but I like quite a few movies more. Spider-Man 2 is probably my favorite comic book movie though

Heath Ledgers Joker is still the best though.

Indeed. The only true thing he says is that he's an agent of chaos, and to that end he'll say anything and make up whatever pseudo-philosophical bullshit he needs at the moment in order to get people at each others' throats and sow violence and discord just for the sake of it.

IMO he's a great example of how you can have a one-dimensional character who still manages to be a fantastic character (he doesn't check all the boxes of being one-dimensional, but he does check most of them).
Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.
I disagree, I think The Dark Knight is a very good movie but Robocop is the best movie ever.

Joker lies. One big line of his is "It's all part of the plan."

The difference is Joker just wants to tear it down, he doesn't do it for gain. Other than personal satisfaction.

It's possibly my favorite superhero movie sure, but all time all time? Nah. It is top-tier though

Best of the Nolan batman movies by a lot, but nowhere near consideration of best movie ever.
