The Dark Knight - Christopher Nolan directed The Dark Knight in 2008, based on a screenplay he co-wrote with his brother Jonathan. It is the follow-up to Batman Begins (2005) and the second film in The Dark Knight Trilogy, all of which are based on the DC Comics superhero Batman.
Upon release, The Dark Knight was well-received by critics. The movie has a 94 percent acceptance rating from the combined reviews of 345 critics on Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 8.6/10. Based on 39 reviews, the movie received a Metacritic score of 84 out of 100, which is considered to be "universal acclaim." On a scale from A+ to F, the movie had an average "A" from viewers surveyed by CinemaScore.
The Dark Knight has been called the best comic book hero film adaptation ever by numerous publications. By fusing comic book conventions with actual events, Roger Ebert claimed that it has revolutionized the possibility of superhero movies with Iron Man.
The Dark Knight is seen as a model for contemporary superhero movies that either try to closely resemble or purposefully subvert. At a time when recent entrants like Daredevil, Hulk (both 2003), Fantastic Four (2005), and Superman Returns (2006) had fallen short of expectations, its commercial, critical, and popular success helped the genre gain acceptance with movie studios. A wave of comic book adaptations followed, in part because of its extensive franchising possibilities, as the genre became the center of annual studio initiatives rather than a relatively specialized effort. According to The Atlantic, The Dark Knight's popularity was essential to Iron Man's legacy in the establishment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
It is also regarded as one of the best movies of the 2000s, and in a 2010 survey by Metacritic of 37 critics regarding the best movies of the decade, The Dark Knight scored the eighth-highest number of mentions, showing up on 7 lists. The BBC ranked it thirty-third best film of the twenty-first century in a survey of 177 critics conducted in 2016, and The Guardian ranked it ninety-eighth on its own list in the 2010s. According to Rotten Tomatoes, it continues to have the highest critical rating for a Batman movie and is frequently cited as the best movie with the character.
The movie made $1.006 billion worldwide, making it the first superhero movie to do so. It was also the highest-grossing movie of 2008.
