Ok, straight up is this the most important movie of the 21st century so far? I'm almost 100% sure the absolutely massive consumer base for super hero movies would not exist without this movie, and it's a trend that has been going on for 11 years now. The other movie that comes to mind is no country for old men, but while it's a good movie I don't think it's a massively important movie like TDK was.

Also something I found really funny, there's a scene at the beginning of the movie where the clowns are breaking into the bank. They are disarming the silent alarm and the clown notes it was going to a private number not the police. This is implied to be batmans phone number, and we can further assume they are sure enough he will come that they feel comfortable linking his phone number. So the idea that batman is being contracted out to protect the mobsters money in the bank is pretty funny, it is some subtext that shows he might not be as omniscient good as he wishes and might in fact be protecting the criminals, likely unbeknownst to him though. Just the fact that batman is a superhero that protects banks in general is extremely funny.
