The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight was not only a nice surprise for those who are Batman fans. But also it is easily appreciated by those without any knowledge of the Batman series. I am not particularly an avid Batman reader. Not only did it surpass the expectations of people who had doubts for the film. It is undeniable that it was a better film than the first Batman movie. “Why soooo serrrrrious?!” Although, sounding nothing like the proper English of Shakespeare, its slang spoke words to the public.

It is also very well known that Heath Ledger’s award winning performance helped captivate the numerous followers, fans and large profitable sums. He created a completely new dimension for which the Joker came to life.

Manohla Dargis of the New York Times states “Pitched at the divide between art and industry, poetry and entertainment, The Dark Knight goes darker and deeper than any Hollywood movie of its comic-book kind.” It was first of its kind to take comic book writing and transcribe it to a memorable and substantial piece of literature.

The movie held strong sociological points while giving it a hint of philosophical intake towards the stories plot. The movie was entertaining regardless of age, mindset and intellect of prior Batman knowledge. You can view it to see a new side of things or to just watch things blow up. The strong characters and psychological conditions proved to be convincing more than just a box office hit.
