Truly great movies leave indelible marks. It may be through an emotional connection to the story. It may be through a remarkable performance or a signature scene. But it could also be through the brilliant imagery that a film carves into your mind. That’s what this feature is all about – highlighting great images from great movies. I haven’t done one of these in a while. Today I’m looking at the greatest superhero movie ever made.

Yes. Not even sure i could find a favourite. Just a masterpiece.
So true. One of those gems that I could pop in any time and watch. Did you see it in the theater? Pretty sure I saw it four times there.
Of course. It was a huge event. At the time everything was 3D. The DArk Knight was a reminder something non 3D could still blow your mind.
Yep. So glad that 3D isn’t something Nolan feels compelled to dabble in.
I think image no. 2 is my favorite. That mask…
YES! That shot is so good especially when mixed with that high-pitched sound/score.
I love this movie so much and you chose some beautiful shots. The Joker leaning out of the cop car is always going to be one of my favorites.
For sure. It’s freaky, creepy, and deranged. Incredible shot.
One that I would include is the image of Batman standing behind the Joker inside the interrogation room as soon as the lights go on. Or also the one of Harvey, Bruce, and Rachel at the table when Harvey gives his famous line “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
Oh yes! The “good cop/bad cop” sequence. Sooooo good.
Easily, one of the best films of the 2000s. Raised the bar of what a superhero film should be which I think was raised further by The Avengers.
I really like “The Avengers” and it did some amazing things considering all the pieces it was juggling. But for me personally, TDK is in a league all its own.
That is true. Every solo superhero movie had a tough act to follow. Plus, what the fuck is going on with DC?
I don’t know. DC is all over the map. Not a hint of consistency in their films or stability in their ‘universe’.
So. Good. I can’t even pick a favorite part really because it all works together so well (although that truck tipping upside down is a sharp contender). I will say that I did really enjoy the joker’s quote: “This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.” So witty!
It really is impossible to pick just one scene! If you noticed I cheated. I shared a bunch of images and then asked you guys to pick one! 😂
Lol!! 🙂 I just figured you had the same problem!
Great pictures Keith. A very watchable film and of great quality. i had unusually high hopes(Batman Begins is among my best all time movies) so was a little dissatisfied with the Dark Knights narrative/story material feeling a bit too squeezed in or compressed. I might have preferred to see the Joker planting some of his traps instead of them suddenly being there. but either way, Ledger(Rip)was terrific and the film is highly engaging.
Good to hear some love for “Batman Begins”. I feel that film often gets ignored among the trilogy. I too am a big fan.
It really met expectations right? the trailer looked promising and the film delivered. it’s just about a comic book imaginary character but the serious approach really worked well. very involving.
Met every single expectation I had!
Some of my favorite cinematic images come from Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. These movies, all of em, are exceptional — with this being probably the zenith. Though for me, it was where it all began in 2005 that really got me hooked on Nolan in general so I think I like that film more just for the introduction!
You might have noticed a certain image from the Batman/Joker interrogation scene has made my blog banner. Love the intensity of that scene!
The interrogation scene is masterful in so many regards. The mental cat-and-mouse games are fascinating. But even technically it is pitch-perfect.
Oooh! The truck scene was awesome!!!
Yes! So good!
