Jesus Christ Ledger, it was only a capeshit role.

TDK is only a good movie because Nolan treated it as a heist/crime drama with people in costumes in it

>>85801538
Yeah but as with most Dolan movies he makes the plot so fucking vague and incomprehensible. Like try describing what happened in TDK.

Joker robbed a bank, and blew up a hospital for some reason, kept on trying to blow things up for some reason, and gets caught by the police in the end(?).

Fuck Dolan.

>>85801834
he writes all his scenes in media res as to keep all the momentum going
that's what I love about Nolan and nobody else has; he can keep a movie running at high speed for 2 hours straight. If you pay enough attention you'll notice there are pretty much no scenes that aren't 'on the go' ie. in the "present time" - they always start like they're already fading to the next one. In fact the movie only slows down when batman and the joker are alone.
He barely even uses the 3 act structure as we understand it, though this has only truly happened in Inception and TDK which are his best works to date

Joker robbed a bank to get enough cred to be able to work with the mob to beat Batman and eventually take control of said mob for henchmen. At one point he starts a string of murders including high ranking police/law members during a parade to get Batman to unmask. Public opinion forces Dent to take the fall. The Joker tries to kill Dent but gets arrested in the process, and Dent ends up captured with his girlfriend. His girlfriend dies which makes him sad, his face gets burnt up, Joker escapes, flips Dent into a villain, then tries to set up a boat bomb scheme to make a point about the nature of man and fails. Batman then goes and stops Harvey and succeeds but kills him. Batman runs away and allows himself to be made a pariah who killed Dent for no reason to protect Harvey's legacy as a force for good who operates within the law

It's kinda sad great actors, great director and shitload of money was wasted on a fucking movie about Batman. Which is good, but still.

It was made in a time when superhero movies were still trying to be good movies first and superhero movies second.

>>85802326
Did you even watch the fucking movie?

>>85802452
just be happy we got another Heat in the process

>>85799832
TDK was a good movie but if it never existed we wouldn't have all the fucking retarded capeshit we have now

I'd rather go without TDK and let movies get back to being tolerable again.

>>85801834
>Like try describing what happened in TDK.
The escalation Batman represented to crime got an escalation in-kind with the Joker. The stakes are the soul of the city in this gripping crime drama by director Christopher Nolan, where he asks of the Batman: if the rule you followed led you to this, of what use was the rule?

>>85802603
Nigger did you? He just described the entire plot you fucking dunce

>>85802851
don't fret about it, before capeshit it was the romcom degeneracy
you don't remember it because it's already gone, but it was a fucking disgrace too at the time
thankfully Hollywood is on the verge of imploding, the age of extremely high budget shit is coming to an end

>you don't remember it because it's already gone
oh god you're right

The one question that has yet to be answered is; Who the fuck is Yu Anya, and why did their friends have to die?

That's all going to be explained in the prequel, releasing in cinemas in 2029

LMAOING

Batman movie no matter what way you spin it.

When The Dark Knight premiered, there was no "capeshit" term. Back then people treated it as any other blockbuster. But after a decade of Marvel absolutely saturating the market with clones, capeshit became a thing.

I was going to respond t you but >>85803363 already did. Had it actually focused on Batman and not the antics of a criminal it'd have been just another pile of shit to add to the Batman movie list

>>85802603
better question,did you??

>>85803186
I always read the initial bank robbing scene as that bank being a mob bank.

The thing the mobsters are actually pissed about is their money being stolen, and the Joker offers to get that money back, despite also being the one who actually stole the money in the first place.

The film doesn't really ever do a good job of explaining this though, you have to kinda read between the lines.

>>85804027
what money? he stole some of it but the chink had the bulk of it. joker offered up to kill the bat for half of the bulk
