The Dark Knight https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8a/Dark_Knight.jpg Dir: Christopher Nolan Genre: Superhero Year: 2008 I have a feeling this placement is going to make people here mad. But if I really wanted to piss you off, you should have seen my initial draft where I had The Dark Knight Rises over this! I wasn't really bought into the hype when TDK was released. Don't get me wrong--I thought it was great, but a few things really stuck out as not feeling like the perfect masterpiece the Internet told me it was. I'm namely referring to the last twenty minutes or so, which I still think could have benefited from better pacing and a more satisfying, singular climax. This is where TDKR did a better job, in my opinion, and why I initially had it ranked higher. But what really made me reconsider the order of the list is Heath Ledger's Joker. It's obviously been talked about extensively over the years--even netting him a freakin' Oscar for it--but his performance is somehow actually properly rated. As sloppy as some of the movie is, it's more than made up for by one of the most memorable twists on a character in film history. That's still what sticks out in my mind a decade later and what rightfully lifts TDK into the spot for the second-greatest superhero movie ever. cAn U gUeSs #1?? --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
