*****. That. *****. - Modulo, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3Simple answer: No.

We’ll all run out to see Captain America, and then wander home disappointed because while it was nice, it just wasn’t as good as The Dark Knight. Audiences will line up for Spider-Man 4, enjoy it, and yet end up comparing it unfavorably against this Batman And gradually, we’ll get used to disappointment, start to accept that we’ve seen the best there is to see, and maybe, just maybe move on to something else."
- until Batman 3 comes out and the bar gets set ridiculously high all over again. - pingpants, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3Seth Rogen's "Green Hornet" has a better shot at killing the genre.
- AllButOneDay, on 07/05/2008, -1/+1I think that John Malkovich would make a great Mr. Freeze for the third installment.
- t3hmyth, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1No one film can do it all. That's why there's not a completely agreed upon "Greatest film of all time." Sure, it's looking like The Dark Knight will be great, but it's great for the character of Batman. Likewise, when the next truly great superhero film comes along, it will be a great film for that character. That's the problem with superhero movies in general: None of them are really exploring the depths of its character like Chris Nolan is doing for Batman.
