Nol-vember continues this week on We Drink & We Watch Things as we charge headlong into what is maybe the greatest superhero film ever made: The Dark Knight (2008). Forget the cape and cowl - this is a sprawling, high-stakes crime epic that pits the fragile notion of order against the pure, terrifying force of chaos. Grab a drink and prepare to discuss a film that still defines cinematic villainy.

This week, we are dissecting Heath Ledger's legendary, Oscar-winning performance as the Joker, who isn't interested in money or power, but in proving that all of society's rules are meaningless. We’ll be talking about the film's philosophical backbone, exploring the tragic fall of Harvey Dent, and debating whether Batman's moral line—that he "won't kill"—is a strength or a dangerous liability when facing a truly limitless enemy. It’s a discussion about necessary lies, the burden of heroism, and the ultimate sacrifice required to save Gotham's soul.

If you love deeply layered crime thrillers, philosophical debates masked as superhero movies, or just want to appreciate the absolute brilliance of a film that transcends its genre, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for. We’re blending our analysis of its narrative depth with our usual casual banter, making this an essential chapter in our month dedicated to Christopher Nolan.
