'The Dark Knight' (2008)

In the penultimate episode of DC Multicast Season 2, Keith is joined by veteran comic book insider, and former Batman editor, Joseph Illidge to reflect on the game changer that was 2008's The Dark Knight.

Keith and Joe share their mutual love for Christopher Nolan's epic sequel to Batman Begins and its enduring legacy as the film that not only made superhero films truly mainstream but brought cinematic legitimacy to the genre. From its themes and politics to its viral marketing and the indelible, award-winning performance by Heath Ledger, there has never been a film like The Dark Knight. It was the movie we deserved but didn't know we needed.
