Not since Superman in 1978 has a movie presented the myth of the superhero so effectively. Suspenseful, riveting action is matched by a grim, morally complex story. Heath Ledger is unforgettable as the Joker, but so is Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent. Finally! A recent mainstream superhero movie that qualifies as high art.

I loved Dark Knight but it is not my favorite comic book movie. That would be X2.
What can I say about The Dark Knight that hasn’t been said already. It’s a new classic.
