This shouldn't number 1 of all-time by any stretch of the imagination.

A very good movie but overrated. Batman Begins is the superior film. Batman Begins is the greatest comic book film. Ever.

The movie is brilliant. Those who deny it are just whispers in a stadium full of cheers.

Very good superhero film but astronomically overrated by fanboys. Better than batman begins though.

When a movie ranks as high as it does, it means that the vast majority of Flickchart's users believe that the film is AT LEAST "pretty good". The Dark Knight has an 80% win percentage. It takes down 8 out of 10 of ALL MOVIES it comes up against. From ALL USERS. People can cry about films being overrated all they want. I'm sure most people have films they think are "overrated". Doesn't mean that they are. The stats speak for themselves: The Dark Knight is rated exactly as it should be. Perhaps given another year or two, it will drop in the rankings. (Maybe after The Dark Knight Rises comes out...)

Give it a break-the Dark Knight is just a little superior to Batman Begins. However, TDK practically says that the Joker wins in the end and that shouldn't have happened.

Great film, but there are hundreds of better ones. Overrated heavily by the fans.

I think the best way to address this movie being at number one is that it does seem to be the most popular movie. However, that doesn't make it the best. It has to stand the test of time before it tops any of those lists.

Simply put, an iconic masterpiece of cinema that easily surpasses any and all Superhero Genre films. The comparisons to The Empire Strikes Back and The Godfather 2 are completely legitimate and logical.

This is a very good movie, but it's not number one. Definitely in the top 10 or 20 though.

This movie kicks-ass!!! It's so good I saw it 3 times in theaters. It's Nolan's best film in my opinion. However, it definatly isn't the greatest film ever made.

I'll join the vast majority of film buffs and movie goers in stating that both Nolan Batman films outclass anything Marvel or Darkhorse have ever put to screen.

im not sure who made the mistake of putting this as "the best movie of all time" but you are mistaken sir

It doesn't really matter to me where this falls on the global charts. If a majority of the userbase here has this film ranked high, it makes sense for it to be ranked high. I liked this film quite a bit, but had some serious issues with the chaotic editing during action sequences that wasn't very spatially coherent (a similar gripe with Batman Begins) and some pacing issues.

Holy cow, this is no. 1 globally? It's in my top 10, but it should be a far cry from number 1...
