    10 years? Wowsers, I mean sure time flies n' all that, but crazy to think this film is already a decade old.

    It's just a pity that its ultimate legacy was to convince DC to embrace the surface level 'grit', without any of the heart, humour or smarts of the Nolan film.

    Ultimate legacy is a negative one.....sounds about right.

    Nope, that's not what I said. It just inspired a studio to double down on the superficial aesthetics that formed Dark Knight, without understanding or translating the heart & depth of the film that made it so great in the first place.

    Man of Steel and subsequent films happened because DC went "oh, that gritty style did well, let's do more of that! Make Superman miserable!" and so on.

    Dark Knight will still ultimately be remembered as a high watermark of the blockbuster superhero film

    I'd be tempted to just throw it on now to watch the first scene.. cos it's great.. but like.. I know I'd cave and watch the whole film.. again, cos it's great

    The biggest pity was Warner not using this trilogy and world as the basis for their shared universe.

    Frankly, the biggest pity is the existence of a ‘shared universe’.

    With the 10 years, the urban myth sprang up again that Ledger based his performance on Tom Waits, specifically a random interview that from Australian TV in '79 where the similarity is quite pronounced (Ledger himself being an Ozzie). With his early passing it was never confirmed or denied by the actor, so the myth persists to this day:

    Unfortunately the full video on YouTube is blocked in Ireland, but here's a snippet:

    Possibly but none others that I’m aware of. No one else will have it in 35mm.

    I couldn't disagree more. Nice staff and the audience always behave impeccably. It's the only cinema I go to now.
