Give it time. It is tarnishing. Something else will come along to usurp it. I feel like it had already been toppled, people just have too much nostalgia to see it yet. In fairness it shouldn't be compared to other CBMs. I view it as a crime drama, not an action film. The MCU embraces the stories' comic book roots while Nolan tried to ground his trilogy in reality as much as he possibly could. They're just very different films. |

The Dark Knight: 16 Avengers Infinity War: 7 The Avengers: 14 Spider-man 2: 6 Thats it then it's game over. The Dark Knight wins the game. You've always gotta think it's gonna come on top before any other movie so it's not surprising that it won but Infinity War was winning it's matches so easily and being the MCU board I thought it just might edge it but no The Dark Knight won this one quite easily too. The Avengers gets the bronze, not surprised that it beat Spider-man 2. So yeah this was fun to put together. So after 9 days, this just confirms what everyone already knew all along - that The Dark Knight is and will always be better than any MCU movie. |

What Infinity War (and even Avengers) accomplished is way more epic, complex and difficult than TDK. I feel like it had already been toppled, people just have too much nostalgia to see it yet. So a poor man's extended episode of the Wire wins again? It is tarnishing. Something else will come along to usurp it. I don't know how many sock accounts were created but they absolutely downvoted everything else in the top ten to get TDK to the #1 spot. Spoken like true sore loser MCU fanboys who can't accept that MCU hasn't made anything as great as The Dark Knight. |

So who got Silver? Its Gold, Silver, Bronze. Bronze is 3rd place. Um... Avengers Infinity war comes in second.... the Avengers vs Spiderman 2 was competing for 3rd place... Ok I got it lost to TDK. I didnt realize that still gave it 2nd place. |

My understanding of that was nolan fans created loads of socks & voted down stuff to get TDK into the top. I don't know how many sock accounts were created but they absolutely downvoted everything else in the top ten to get TDK to the #1 spot. I was there, I saw the threads encouraging people to do it. I was a regular on the TDK board from 2007 to the day IMDb message boards went dark. Eventually TDK dropped from #1 to wherever it is now, but I always thought that fan war was ridiculous.
It's a great film, one of my all time favorites, but not in my personal top ten. People always mention that list both positively and negatively, and I've never understood why. It's a fan vote open to any monkey with access to the internet, and the list isn't supposed to reflect cinematic quality. It just tallies the votes on the site. It has as much cultural relevance as this thread.
Thank you. I remember the IMDb boards on the issue. I remember one guy-blueberryicedcoffee living on the Marvel boards going on & on about how great TDK was & the position of it on the IMDb top 250 list which is when I started wondering why none of the typical top films were there & how the hell did Shawshank Redemption end up #1. Because they downvoted all the typical competition & that one slipped through. Blueberry is the one who always linked to They Shoot Pictures, a director slanted site. |

I look at mug shots every day at work. They do not let people keep full face paint on. They would scrub that off, then send the picture out. Gordon claimed they werent allowing any slip-ups to allow Joker's attorney a technicality, yet he lets an unknown person in a bat suit rough him up? Batman is fantasy. To try to make him work in the real world doesn't work. |

ReyKahuka can't tell the difference between facts and lies. ReyKahuka is a Patriots' fan who still can't accept the fact that his idol Shady Brady is a cheater and fraud. |

He stated a fact about people downrating top 10 movies so The Dark Knight would be ranked higher than them on the IMDb top 250. I remember it clearly. |

The Dark Knight is just a great film in general. Outside the boundaries of a 'CBM'.
Personally, for me, I consider Batman Begins the best CBM. Not a better movie than TDK, but it has the perfect balance of Nolan and comic book. It's the best Batman movie, in my opinion. But I always think Joker more than Batman in TDK.

That's a good way to put it. I can never decide which I prefer, Begins or TDK. Begins has a more complete story arc while TDK has a rare intensity to it for a CBM. They're equally great in their own way. |

The Dark Knight, Winter Soldier, and Days of Future Past are my three favorite comic book films, so I am definitely okay with this win.
