I have only once ever wept tears during a movie and that one time was at the end of this film. The conclusion where Batman takes the fall for Dent's rampage after everything that had happened was just both beautiful and epic in so many ways.
I'm not an avid movie watcher, but for me, this is the best movie I've ever seen. Looking at recent superhero films, it will probably take a while before some other film tops this one. I have zero faith for today's DC or Marvel to make anything close to the quality of The Dark Knight. I think that this film will be analyzed centuries later when people are researching the culture of the 21st century's West.

The Dark Knight was nominated for eight Academy Awards for the 81st Ceremony most nominations received by a film based on a comic book
The Dark Knight was included in American Cinematographer's "Best-Shot Film of 1998-2008" list, ranking in the top 10. More than 17,000 people around the world participated in the final vote.
Name top ten films of 2008 by the American Film Institute.
The Dark Knight was ranked the 15th greatest film in history on Empire's 2008 list of the "500 Greatest Movies of All Time," based upon the weighted votes of 10,000 readers, 150 film directors, and 50 key film critics.
The Dark Knight continues Batman Begins' tradition of drawing primarily and heavily from the graphic novels, one shots and limited series' of the late 1980's and 1990's, but this time the writers also went all the way back to the roots, to the earliest issues of the Batman comic book. In addition to the same sources Batman Begins drew, some of the cited influences for The Dark Knight are the first two issues of Batman and The Killing Joke.

Anything with Superman in it is utterly boring for me. Superman is the worst kind of superhero: unrelateble, invincible and just generic in so many ways. Nolan's Batman is thankfully the exact opposite of those features.

I had exactly your mindset before the new Superman films. But they actually balance that pretty well with his weaknesses. Not just Kryptonite but also his relationship to mankind. They are very personal films.

This is crazy. It was the perfect storm. Today it would've been deemed too gritty and right-wing unfortunately.

I like how Snyder tells his stories through photography. He is better than Nolan at that but Nolan is better at pacing and character.

He's not even better than himself at making his own movies. His earlier hits (Watchmen, 300) were only good because he just copied the source material 1:1, as if he was using the comics as storyboards, so of course the imagery is going to be beautiful and well thought out because someone else did all the thinking for him.
Look at any Snyder movie from Sucker Punch and beyond and not only are the stories bad, but even the visual storytelling is garbled and overall boring, and you don't need to be a film expert to see that. The guy's a hack who can't generate an original thought, and likes to double down on all his worst filmmaking qualities with every new abortion he shoves out.
The only thing impressive about Zack Snyder is that he's still allowed to direct movies.
