Not only is Nolan's latest Batman adaptation the best one to ever be put on film, but Batman goes places and visits subjects that no other comic movie has dared. Never have I seen such sacrifice in a character. The depth of Batman goes far beyond anything mild-mannered or geeky-romantic. The Dark Knight is the epitome of everything that should be in a GREAT movie. With enough action, plot, and character to keep everyone interested, Batman has reclaimed his position of the truest American icon.
