In this top ten list, let's revisit the most memorable moments from this iconic film. From heart-pounding action scenes to chilling monologues, these moments have left a lasting impression on audiences and cemented The Dark Knight as a timeless classic.
Batman and The Joker are alone in a room with only a table between them. Joker tells Batman that in order for him to win and stop the madness going on in Gotham, Batman must break his one rule (murder).
One thing I noticed from this scene was a cameraman in the glass. For a split second, you can see the cameraman in the glass to the right just as Batman picks up the Joker and slams him into the wall.
A well-filmed sequence by Christopher Nolan. I never would have guessed Joker was one of the guys in masks.
One of the best intros to any movie I've seen! I love how none of the school buses notice that there's one coming out of the bank. Haha.
"I believe that whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you stranger."
Best superhero movie quote ever!
This part is full of great moments. The bazooka, the truck flipping, Joker challenging Batman to run him over.
Best thing is the writing on the truck: S laughter is the best medicine...
"Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight."
I can't think about it without getting chills.
Joker walks away as the hospital explodes.
A "do-nothing-else" politician becomes a murderer. Mr. Dent broke an oath to end crime in Gotham, which means not everyone else can keep promises for themselves and others.
When he turns his face and reveals his burnt face, it surprises you.
Funny way to officially introduce The Joker. It also shows that he's really insane.
The Joker explains to people how he got the scars on his face.
The Newcomers
This part is pretty symbolic as The Joker mentioned earlier that he's just a dog chasing cars and that he wouldn't know what to do with one if he caught it.
All the other scenes are amazing. But for me, when Bruce says, "But Rachel, Alfred?" I die every time I hear that. There is so much emotion and agony that Christian Bale has expressed in three words.
I was extremely joyful when Rachel died, but it was Bruce's conversation with Alfred that always reduces me to tears.

And what's so scary about it is that we never got to see what happened to Brian after the camera went off.
This scene still makes me concerned about how kids are going to react to this film.
Probably the scariest scene in the movie.
I actually thought he died. Fortunately, he didn't.
