We end season 6 and our month of Christopher Nolan films with The Dark Knight starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and the late Heath Ledger. We discuss what makes this film so great, the adult themes around the societal response to terrorism, how Batman creates the escalation of crime in Gotham City, how Heath Ledger defines the Joker for this generation, our favorite Bruce Wayne, and the best comic book films of all time.
