Batman Begins finally gave Batman the real, dark psychology he was always meant to have- finally a superhero movie that wasn't all about being cheesy and kids-play. That said, I went into The Dark Knight with very high expectations.
Those expectations were not only meant ,but far, far exceeded. This movie was as good as any psychological thrillers out there. The acting was superb. The action was non-stop. And the complexity of the characters has many, many levels. Christopher Nolan will be revered as one of the best directors of our time.
