While there have been numerous live-action adaptations of Batman on the big screen, none have stood out as much as Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy. The movies introduced a dark and gritty version of The Caped Crusader to cinemas, something that superhero movies at that time hadn't done before. The trilogy also showcased one of the best acting performances, most notably Heath Ledger's iconic role as The Joker. The Dark Knight Trilogy is still held in high regard as one of the greatest superhero film series and continues to inspire many modern-day superhero films.
