It's another step in Nolan's attempt to make action blockbusters more "serious" without stripping them of the genre's benefits.

It has chases and crashes and fight scenes, including a somersaulting truck, but when it is over it is the wrenching choices, the internal confrontations, that reverberate.

Ver a figura claudicante, vulnerável e trágica de Batman mergulhar nas sombras de uma cidade desesperada por figuras heróicas é, desde já, umas das imagens mais fortes e tristes que o gênero já produziu.

Do not worry about going in with unrealistic expectations. Your expectations pale in comparison with what The Dark Knight is prepared to deliver.

I encourage anyone who has the opportunity to see Dark Knight in the IMAX format, DO! It's impressive beyond imagination.

A very exhausting film...something far more than just an entertainment.

It's not a superhero movie, or a crime drama either. It's a horror movie -- an epic one, and a great one. Madness and mutilation are on the menu...

While it has it's small flaws, this new Batman installment is an impressive motion picture, largely made so by the performance of a greatly-missed talent.

So here it is: The best superhero movie ever. The Dark Knight deftly accomplishes all one could hope for, and then it surpasses it, and then it continues to surprise. The movie isn't just a triumph, it is that rare pop-culture oddity: A masterpiece.

[Though] The Dark Knight is a film one can respect, it is very difficult to enjoy.

The Joker should be charged with the film's biggest crime: stealing the show.

The movie is relentlessly paced, as Nolan constantly pushes the film with nail-biting action sequences and resonant dialogue exchanges.

The best way to sum up the sheer brilliance that is The Dark Knight is to paraphrase a saying from the Comic Book Guy in The Simpsons: Best. Superhero movie. Ever!

With only three short words comprising the film's enigmatic title, it also boasts three epic claims to fame: the role of a lifetime for the late Heath Ledger, one of the best films of 2008 and one of the greatest superhero films of all time.

Far from offering traditional summer escapism...a brainy, action-packed morality play meant to throttle the audience, body and mind, for a solid 152 minutes and haunt them for days and weeks later.

The Dark Knight might be the first superhero movie that exudes a palpable sense of dread and menace that tugs at our nerves in a way that both disturbs and delights us.
