The Dark Knight (2008)

In this compelling film directed by Christopher Nolan, Gotham's vigilante faces a new threat to the city's peace. Building upon the foundation laid in its predecessor, it deepens the complex relationship between the city's defenders and its criminals. The introduction of the Joker, that was masterfully acted by Heath Ledger, alongside the stellar cinematography, impressive special effects, and immersive sound design, are some of the reasons this is the most praised superhero movie of all time.
