The Dark Knight
"The Dark Knight" is such a moody, dramatic, dead-serious affair that it feels more like a noirish crime thriller than a superhero movie. It's something of a wonder—a Batman movie maintaining such a high dramatic pitch in an era when pop culture deems everything and everyone worthy of satire and mockery. Showtimes, review and more. Watch trailer.
