Main Topic:
The Dark Knight: A 10 Year Anniversary Retrospective
The Dark Knight released 10 years ago this year and completely changed the game for all comic book movies that would come after it. Almost immediately it's impact on the film industry could be felt, as many films borrowed heavily from its tone and more mature approach to comic book films. We take a look at this groundbreaking film from all angles, and talk about how it impacted us, the film industry, whether future films learned the wrong lessons from it, and of course, whether it's still (or ever was) the greatest comic book film of all time.
The Comics Pals is a weekly comic book podcast where a group of comic book journalists and friends get together to talk comics.
