The Dark Knight Turns 15

THE DARK KNIGHT was released 15 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the greatest superhero movies and the film that cemented Christopher Nolan as the biggest event moviemaker of his generation, the making of story is a huge one…

I actually found a couple of my Ledger Joker posters when I was cleaning up. I should frame them again lol

I liked Maggie G as Rachel but Rachel as a character was still nothing and felt like she was there just to die. Harvey Dent was a waste. I think Eckhart would have been great if they let him. Should have held littlr Barbara hostage instead of the son. Nice little wink.

Positive notes since i seem grumpy about it lol sorry. I do like some of the movie

the truck scene was cool af seeing it in theaters and the reveal Gordon was alive got some claps.

No you're right, I wish they had that Barbara reference. I hate how much Nolan kept trying to stray from the source material. And I know everyone insists BUT HE DIED but I still wish Dent had just been the villain in the third one instead of that Bane nonsense.

rachel was such a wasted character but tbh i liked katie holmes in the role more lol

[recognitions]

Katie Holmes was the superior Rachel, partly due to being better written

I'm glad Heath showed up those haters. RIP

I miss him. He seemed like a good person, and he was so talented he would have had so many amazing roles to come.

I’m so glad people archived it on the wayback machine. Even if LJ dies, Kermit bale will live on!

As a pure Batman trilogy (i know we aren't talking about all 3)...it's never been my favorite.

Not sure why we needed Rachel when Bruce has plenty of valid love interests that can be adapted.

Females have always been the weak point, just treated horribly in the films
