The first of Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is also the first first to be reviewed as it appeared in both Matt & Nick's 'bottom' half of their lists. That's not to say it's not any good. To the contrary it redefined the superhero genre (even if it fell on deaf ears to other studios) and its quality has rarely been emulated.
Matt & Nick pick apart what makes it so good, what makes it so Nolan, but also how this was somewhat of a departure from Nolan as we were all starting to feel a little comfortable in spotting his key traits & thematic preoccupations.
As always, we expect disagreement - so tell us why we're wrong in the comments below...
