The Dark Knight Things that make you want to watch it over again

[The Joker]

I'd rather think it's not just quality (how can you get that by just copying Nolan anyways?) but the level of seriousness. I mean, you have a character, then let's truly explore him, let's see why he does what he does. As you know I didn't think much of Batman Begins, but I always could see the idea behind it and that alone made it worthy for me.

The bolded part is what saved your post there, because I know besides Spider-Man 2 you dislike Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies, which to their credit do explore Peter Parker in all three of them.

They just have a very cheesy approach to a lot of the material.

There are some characters that you just can't treat with the same level of seriousness as Batman. You couldn't really pull off a film as dark or serious as TDK using a character like Captain Marvel for instance. The thing that should be replicated across the board is the respect and dignity that is given to the mythos, while at the same time trying to make the best film out of it possible. That honestly should be a given, but it seems as if it's often forgotten.

I think you can apply seriousness to all of them. Because seriousness is not darkness. And neither Nolan or TDK have the monopoly of seriousness.

I think you are only limited to your imagination and seriousness has nothing to do with darkness like TPAM said.

Even Ghostbusters 1 had some serious elements.

Seriousness also doesn't imply that character must be made serious. Just treated seriously. When people say they want a serious approach to Spider-Man, that doesn't equate to him being grim and moody, and his movies being drenched in darkness.

Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. Seriously in the sense that it's given proper respect.

Thats right. Thats why the early Alien movies were so great, people treated it like an A material for serious adult consumers. When people have an attitude like Schumacher like "oh, its Batman we're talking about" or "its just a comic book movie", then the results speak for themselves

 

[The Joker]

Exactly. I wish more people got the point like you guys. When people over in the Spidey forums say they'd like the reboot to be done with the kind of serious approach Nolan took with Batman, they instantly assume they mean they want a dark, grim, and moody Spidey

I don't really watch TDK that much because if I watch a portion of it or a single scene then I will feel pressured to watch the remaining of the film, and it's a pretty damn long movie. There are a lot of adventerous films nowadays however they're all very generic and boring. TDK is a good example of what a great movie should be like nowadays.

 

[Fudgie]

Yup I make sure I have the time to spare if I'm gonna watch all of TDK.

Sometimes I'd put it in just to watch the interrogation scene or something, and next thing I knew Joker was blowing up the hospital.

Same. I love randomly popping it in to watch some of my favorite bits, and I always end up watching more than I intended to.
