The Dark Knight
The pop civilisation landscape today is one dominated by comic Bible properties , with superhero movies on a regular basis drawing in huge audiences and make boatloads of John Cash as a result of it . TheMarvel Cinematic Universeis , of course , a considerable part of this , but before that became the colossus that it is , there wasThe Dark Knight , a movie that changed cinema .
It is not only the most splendid superhero movie ever but one of the respectable movies ever made , period . The picture show is full offantastic characters played by brilliant player , with a few of note dominating the runtime of the movie , and some side characters having surprisingly footling time on screen .
Least - Gambol (2:30)
Michael Jai White portrays Gambol in this film , a brawny malefactor whose operations have gotten thwarted by Batman , and who foil paths with the Joker in his limited screen time .
He is a great pocket-sized grapheme , whose quality is dependant on the phenomenal scenes in which he is in . The first is the unadulterated shot in which Joker perform a wizard illusion and break up Gotham criminal ’s get together . The second being the Joker ’s cleanup of Gambol , and the uttering of the iconic " why so serious ? "
Most - Rachel Dawes (13:15)
For this film , the role of Rachel Dawes got fill up by Maggie Gyllenhaal , who put back Katie Holms and delivered a really good performance as both the furious district attorney and as the romantic sake of Harvey Dent and Bruce Wayne .
Rachel is an essential fictitious character in the floor , with her deathbeing the catalyst for Harvey Dent ’s downfall into Two - facial expression and being a crucial part of Bruce Wayne ’s story as he battles with his double life .
Least - James Gordon Jr. (2:00)
talk of Harvey Dent ’s declivity to Two - Face , that entire arc reaches a boiling period at the end of the picture show when he captures the wife and youngster of Jim Gordon and endanger to kill them .
James Gordon Jr. only appears a couple of times in the movie , that being here and when Gotham Police go to Jim ’s family to tell Barbara of Gordon ’s death , which , obviously , turned out to be false .
Most - Lieutenant/Commissioner Jim Gordon (19:15)
Speaking of Jim Gordon , theiconic GPD Commissionergets played by Gary Oldman in this trilogy , and delivers an vast performance , particularly in this film , often overshadow by others despite being so terrific .
Gordon is always a corking character , and his time in this movie is spent in a similar way to Batman ’s , handle with the Joker , dealing with Harvey Dent / Two - Face , and helping Batman protect Gotham .
Least - Barbara Keane Gordon (1:15)
stick with the Gordon ’s , Barbara Gordon is so often the girl of Jim in the comics and broader Batverse , but in this movie , played by Melinda McGraw , is his married woman .
The only reason she has less in frame time as James Jr. is due to that final sequence where Two - Face is menace to kill him . Apart from that , the two appear in the same number of scenes , the other being the aforementioned news delivery of Jim ’s destruction .
Most - Harvey Dent/Two-Face (22:15)
Nolan ’s Dark Knight trilogynever focused on one villainthe total time of the pic . Batman Beginshad both Scarecrow and Ra ’s al Ghul , Dark Knight Riseshad Bane , Talia Al Ghul , and a scoundrel bend hero Catwoman , and this cinema had the Joker and Two - Face .
Harvey Dent is of the essence to this picture , as he is the germ of Joker ’s plan , as he aim to turn the White Night bad and show citizenry there is no promise , no goodness , and insanity is a stone ’s throw forth . Aaron Eckhart is swell in the moving picture , and the character design is very well done and striking , with his death top to a goosebumps - inducing last monologue .
Least - Jonathan Crane (1:00)
While Scarecrow was the villain for Nolan ’s late entry in the trilogy , Cillian Murphy portrays the iconic characterin all three movies , getting a small part here at the beginning of the celluloid .
Only in the frame for about a minute , Jonathan Crane appears in a law-breaking deal near the start of the film , and that is the last we see of him until he appear as a judge inThe Dark Knight Rises .
Most - The Joker (25:15)
What is there to say about Heath Ledger ’s fabled performance as The Joker that has not already stupefy said many a time over the past decade ? It is sublime , one of the most outstanding acting performance of all time .
For all of his twenty - five minutes plus in the frame , Joker slip the show , enamour the audience with his masterful mannerisms , iconic voice , and overall characterisation - gross character study . From the bank heist to the wizardly conjuring trick to the interrogative sentence to the infirmary detonation , every vista with the Joker is unflawed .
Least - Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb (0:45)
This film is the one in which Jim Gordon gets promoted to his famous Commissioner position , after being Lieutenant in the previous entryway to this iconic trilogy .
However , that was not a simple promotion ; it was done due to the death of the former Commissioner , Gillian Loeb . He was a aim of the Joker , and despite everybody ’s effective efforts , nobody could prevent the Joker from poisoning the Commissioner with acid .
Most - Batman/Bruce Wayne (35:30)
It is no surprise that the character whose nickname is the title of the flick , and who is the primal supporter for the integral trilogy , develop the most screen time , with Bruce Wayne ’s and the Batman ’s combine screen time reaching over thirty - five minutes .
There are some who knock Bale ’s Batman for the representative , but even with that , he is , without a doubt , at the very least second effective live - actionBatman , but is really routine one . He is fantastic in this movie , as he is in most , both as a billionaire playboy philanthropist and hard-core vigilance man .
