Arguably the most meaningful superhero movie ever

I wonder if some of the mythical status of the movie is due to Ledger's death as much as anything

But I'm not sure you'll ever top him as the Joker

Combination of both Ledger's death and a legit incredible movie. Maybe kinda sorta like The Crow and Brandon Lee but moreso?

Except the Crow (which I do really like) was a middling film and Brandon Lee was no where as big as Ledger at the respective points in there career.

Thus my inclusion of 'moreso'.

I know it has plot holes, and goofy conveniences to keep the plot going; but I don't regard it as being aggressively stupid like TDKR. That makes all the difference in the world, to me, apparently. :smitten:
