Hollywood spoke: The Dark Knight has crossed the greatest comic film of the 21st century

What is the greatest superhero film made in the 21st century? This is something that fans have appreciated that they discuss over the years, but now we have a new recovery from the people who actually make the film.

The New York Times has recently interviewed over 500 directors, actors and other creatives in the sector to fill in a definitive ranking of the best films published since 2000. Only two comic book adaptations have made the list and one of them has passed everything else in its kind.

Get to number 96 was Ryan Coogler’S Black panther. Also at the end of the list, he made an impression. The Times wrote:

“There is so much to love. It is a show of superheroes that actually has something important to say, on how identity, history and responsibility intersect. Wakanda, the Afro -Furry World in which history takes place, is a visual wonder.

“The women (played by Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong’o and Letitia Wright – All excellent) are not just sidekick or love interests. Michael B. Jordan, like the tragically evil Killmonger, has never been worthy.

“And, of course, Chadwick Boseman shines in the role of the protagonist, unfortunately one of his last before dying of cancer.”

But the real heavy weight, the comic film that rose above them was everything Christopher Nolan ‘Sort The dark knight. He ranked much higher than Black panther At #28, to be alone as the only superhero film to break into the top of the list. According to the times:

“The indifference to superheroes is not a prerequisite to make a great film about them. But Christopher Nolan’s allergy to the logic of comics and his infatuation for the canon of the adult film (especially Heat and the godfather) have revitalized a character who continues to emerge from the Miasma of Batman and Robin.

The second item and the high -level sign of the Nolan Dark Knight trilogy asks fruitful questions about the naivety of its protagonist’s moral code. But the greatest resource of the film is Heath Ledger, whose disconcerting performance like Joker has set the bar for the following super -crime forever. “

The dark knight He hasn’t just changed Batman, he raised the bar for what could be a comic film. Ground, philosophical and terribly real, Ledger’s Joker has transformed a success into something mythical. This was not just the popcorn cinema; It was a cultural moment.

And only for the context, here is the complete top 10 from the survey:

1. Parasite

2. Mulholland Drive

3. There will be blood

4. In the mood for love

5. Moonlight

6. No country for the old

7. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

8. Go out

9. Spirited away

10. The social network

It is a strong list, full of bold narrative and master’s direction, e The dark knight Adapting precisely in that conversation is a rather strong topic for its resistance power.

So if you agree with the ranking or you still believe Avengers: endgame It deserves the throne, this cannot be denied: in the eyes of the best of HollywoodThe Dark Knight It still looms great.
