The Dark Knight is lauded for its exceptional performances, particularly Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker, which earned him a posthumous Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The film’s masterful direction, compelling storyline, and thrilling action sequences have solidified its status as a landmark in the superhero genre and a cultural phenomenon. With its blend of intense drama and blockbuster spectacle, The Dark Knight remains a defining film in modern cinema.
