The Dark Knight - a 2008 film directed by Christopher Nolan, from a screenplay co-written with his brother Jonathan. The plot follows the vigilante Batman, police lieutenant James Gordon, and district attorney Harvey Dent, who form an alliance to dismantle organized crime in Gotham City. Their efforts are derailed by the Joker, an anarchistic mastermind who seeks to test how far Batman will go to save the city from chaos. It grossed $1B on a $185M budget.

It received acclaim for its mature tone and themes, visual style, and performances—particularly that of Ledger, who received many posthumous awards including Academy, BAFTA, and Golden Globe awards for Best Supporting Actor, making this movie the first comic-book film to receive major industry awards.

Gustav calls it "literally the most overrated movie of all time"

Batman 1989 - a 1989 film directed by Tim Burton. The story takes place early in the title character's war on crime and depicts his conflict with his archenemy The Joker. It grossed $411M on a $48M budget. It was both critically and financially successful. Critics and audiences particularly praised Nicholson and Keaton's performances, Burton's direction, the production design, and Elfman's score. It was the sixth-highest-grossing film in history at the time of its release. The film received several Saturn Award nominations and a Golden Globe nomination for Nicholson's performance, and won the Academy Award for Best Art Direction.

Gustav says: "Didn't always work for me, but at least [Burton] brought some creativity and skill to the character — and awareness that he was making a movie about a guy who dresses up like a bat."
