The average superhero movie can be good, and even great. They are exciting and action packed mixed in with a little love and a happy ending. Batman does all of the above, but ten times better than any superhero movie I have ever seen.

The darkness of the movie is amazing. Spiderman 3 tried to do it with black Spidey, but really failed. The Dark Knight is a powerful, rich, scary character, yet still shows great compassion for every citizen. Heath Ledger as the Joker will win every award there is available because he was amazing. I don’t remember believing in a character as much as I did the Joker. I really believed the Joker was insane, and at times felt sorry for him.

The most obvious difference from other superhero movies is that the Dark Knight doesn’t just scratch the surface. It goes deeper, questioning humanity and its morals. I can honestly say the Dark Knight is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and destroys any superhero movie I have ever seen.
