Batman the Dark Knight:

 

Released in July 2008, Batman the Dark Knight is the second film in the trilogy. The film was produced by Warner Bros and inspired by DC comics. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan, who is also the director of many other films, for example Superman, Tenet, Inception, and Dunkirk. He also produced the other two films of the batman trilogy, Batman begins, and the Dark knight rises. Christian Bale stars as Batman (Bruce Wayne), with Heath Ledger portraying the Joker, and Michael Kane being the role of Alfred. Also, in the film is actor Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman. The main actress in the movie, Maggie Gyllenhaal (who plays the role of Rachel), who had had the most experience in independent movies, said that she was a little scared of doing the stunts for this movie. I first watched this film about 2 years ago in my living room when I moved into my house as it was on the tv, and my family wanted to watch it. Neither of my brother or I had seen it previously, and we both have now watched it about 20 times each and can agree that it is our favourite film. Although watching it for the first time was great, I wish that I could have seen it in the cinema, or in a similar environment, as my light, cold living room at the time allowed me to come away from the film, and not really submerge myself in it. The biggest reason why I enjoyed the film so much is because of Heath Ledgers portrayal as the joker. Before seeing that film, the only time I had seen the joker, or a clown like villain was in Lego Batman, comic books, or IT. I didn’t so much find his portrayal of the joker all that scary, but it was the first superhero movie where I wanted more scenes with the villain (the Joker) than the hero. I would find myself on the edge of my seat in all of his scenes, and it made me have very high expectations for the jokers that followed him, like Jared Leto in suicide squad and Joaquin Phoenix in Joker. It’s very difficult for me to choose a favourite scene in the film, as I enjoy every bit of it, but if I had to choose, I would probably say the scene in downtown Gotham, after Harvey lies about being the Batman, with Batman on the bike, and the Joker in the Lorry. I also really enjoy the scene in the hospital with Harvey and the Joker after he has killed Rachel, and how the Joker turns Harvey against the police and the justice system, before blowing up the entire hospital. This is the first superhero movie that I was able to watch over and over again, and also convinced me to watch the trilogy, which is why it is my favourite film.
