The soundtrack was compelling. I ended up seeing that movie three times in theaters due to loved ones and friends all wanting to go see it.
But I find Christopher Nolan’s stories shallow and wanting. ‘Full of sound and fury yet signifying nothing.’ I left each showing feeling uninspired.
The Dark Knight is great just for Heath Ledge’rs portrayal of the Joker. Nolan’s other two Batman movies were lousy.
Speaking of Joker, there’s a Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix coming up soon. I may even splurge to buy a ticket to buy that one.
Joker’s creepy theme music in The Dark Knight was made by gliding straight razor blades over piano strings. Thought that was pretty clever.

How can anybody find those movies inspiring? They are far fetched ‘escapism’ adventures that do not live in reality.
The whole superhero theme is silliness obscured by escapism.
At the end of the movies, the cemeteries still have graves. Superman couldn’t give eternal life to the mortals.
What little I have seen (clips of the superhero movies), show mere mortals, like ‘ironman’, getting slammed around so violently that their brains should be turned into soup.
The old batman tv show was funny, because that’s the reality: far fetched and absurd.
