This week, we return to our series on the films of Christopher Nolan by diving headfirst into The Dark Knight — the movie that convinced an entire generation that growling equals gravitas. From Heath Ledger’s chaos-icon Joker to a Batman so serious he makes taxes look fun, we’re dissecting the film’s themes, IMAX spectacle, and how Hans Zimmer’s score is a nerve-shredding symphony of dread.
Is it a superhero movie? A crime epic? A two-and-a-half-hour TED Talk on moral ambiguity? Maybe all of the above. One thing’s clear: The Dark Knight isn’t just another cape flick — it’s a cinematic flex that made critics panic, rewrote Oscar history, and left us all quoting a clown in face paint like he was Shakespeare.
