The Dark Knight: Why So Late?

from Better Late Than Blockbuster

One of us had never seen The Dark Knight...until now. In the very first episode of Better Late Than Blockbuster, we dive headfirst into Gotham to see if Christopher Nolan's 2008 superhero epic still holds up. Spoiler alert: it absolutely does. From Heath Ledger's legendary performance to the chaos-fueled philosophy that makes this more than "just a Batman movie," we unpack why this film changed the genre forever. Expect plenty of gushing of Nolan's direction, unnecessary tangents on Oppenheimer (we can't help ourselves), and some light sibling roasting about how someone managed to miss this cultural moment for over a decade. Because if you're going to start late...you might as well start with a masterpiece.
