I'm Not a Hero | The Dark Knight [4k, IMAX, HDR] 

Disney can have all the money in the world But they will never top this one

Batman is not a superhero. He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a dark knight.

The ending of this movie always makes me wonder how many times, in real life, somebody has been thrown under the bus, or voluntarily crawled under it themselves, for the greater good. We're lucky enough to know that this is a fictional movie and that Batman is eventually redeemed, but I'm sure there have been hundreds of situations just like this throughout history that we will never really know the truth about; we'll never know who all of the real heroes were.

The dialogue where he says "People like to have their faith rewarded" and the camera pans to Fox smiling because Bruce honored his request of destroying that Sonar after its use. Its awesome

World: We never said thank you. Christopher Nolan: and you’ll never have to

This scene never fails to make me tear up. The music, Gordon's speech, Batman's sacrifice, Harvey dead, knowing that this was Heath's final finished film...😭

Batman Begins: *Batman Begins* The Dark Knight: *Batman Falls* The Dark Knight rises: *Batman rises* Man this trilogy is perfection

i just realized Bruce falls from high heights three time this movie. First to stop Scarecrow, then to save Rachel and finally to save Gordon's son. No wonder he's crippled when TDKR begins

Gordon's son is like: "Dad, none of what you said makes any sense." 😅

In the end though, Joker really DID win. Because the truth does eventually come out. As Alfred aptly put it, “Maybe it’s time we stopped trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.”

“He’s a hero Gotham deserves but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him, because he can take it.” Give me chills everytime

I dont know why but I got chills when the kid is yelling "Batman!". Even the kid knows who the real hero is. Just incredible

Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne/Batman had the best character development out of all the incarnations. Also the Batman franchise was dead before he put on the cowl so he literally saved it with Nolan and brought it back to life. Bale deserves more respect!

“You’ll hunt me , you’ll condemn me, set the dogs on me.”

Gotta love the symbolism of Batman driving into the light when Gordon calls him The Dark Knight. Nolan took a film that could’ve been great, and turned it into a masterpiece

Gordon for Harvey: "not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed" Gordon for batman: "the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now"

To this day I still remember seeing this opening night. As Gordon’s narration goes on with the shot of Batman’s cape flying through the air while riding the Batpod. Only to suddenly cut to the title with Zimmer’s glorious track playing in the background. Now that’s how you end a masterpiece.

God this movie never get old... truly perfect in my opinion

Gary Oldman's performance in this trilogy and especially this film is so overlooked. To me he was really the glue that held it all together and it's a damn shame that his portrayal of Gordon doesn't get nearly as much praise or attention as Ledger's Joker or Hardy's Bane. He was the most human and believable of all the characters and truly brought Gordon to life in a way that was never done before on screen. To me, Gary Oldman will always be the definitive Gordon.

"Because sometimes truth isn't good enough." Quoted, as Alfred burns Rachel's letter. This movie was a masterpiece.

"He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Dark Knight".

despite how human batman is portrayed in this adaptation through his pain, he remains an incorruptible symbol for the criminal underworld to fear

This has to be the most quotable movie ever

On 1:36 Gordon gets it that Batman will take it all on his head. So before Batman says anything, he was like ‘No No’. Dude their chemistry & friendship shown is brilliant

The night is darkest just before the dawn and I promise you, the Dawn is coming.

This masterpiece shows that there are some perks to not being a connected overly complex cinematic universe I mean this one of my favorite movie endings

White Knight : not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed Dark Knight : the hero that gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now..

When i first saw this movie as a kid, i was asking the same question in my head as Gordon’s son asks him. After a decade, on the cusp of my eighteenth birthday, i finally understood why Batman was thrown under the bus -for the greater good. It’s amazing how the director and screenwriters can capture the exact thoughts of both a small kid and a mature adult in the same scene. It’s also a life lesson to be learnt. Sometimes good people don’t get what they deserve but in the end the sacrifice or martyr proves that fundamental principles like nobility, honor and sheer willpower always defeat evil.

He's The Hero Gotham Deserves, But Not The One It Needs

That soundtrack at 3:36 is absolutely amazing. Hans Zimmer is a genius. Him and Nolan are a dynamic duo. Credit due to James Newton as well!

"I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be." I love that line so damn much

"He didn't do anything wrong". Very touching. What a good moment. 😢

One of the best superhero movies ever made

This scene always gives me goosebump literally every single time. True legend!

This scene alone is enough to make you understand why Batman is an exceptional hero .. Not the gadgets .... Or the money But his pure humanity and care for others

I love what the MCU did, interconnecting many films into a shared universe with a big payoff 11 years in the making with Avengers Endgame. But despite all those films, all those efforts, The Dark Knight remains the greatest comic book movie made.

1:35 one of the best qoutes that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you, DC

I love how you can see the hesitation in Gordon's face to destroy the bat signal

I’m a Marvel fan, but I can’t deny that this is easily the best comic book movie ever made. (Nvm I saw No Way Home)

“You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Best line ever

literally have been watching dark knight clips recently. Glad people still pay attention to this great movie

Imagine if his bike didn't start.. How awkward it would be if the cops caught him and he went to gorden asking for another chance

This is one of, if not the greatest and most satisfying ending to an absolutely enthralling movie. The dark knight takes the blame, saves his city from doom, learns an important lesson and most of all it shows his absolute dedication to protect his city even if it means the disapproval of the people, even if it means he's an outcaste because he knows he's done all he could. Never fails to evoke goosebumps in me.

Nolan is not a director. He's a silent guardian of Hollywood, a watchful artist....... A MAESTRO. (This is definitely the most likes i ever got. Thanks!!)

There are very few movies that can touch this one because it is somehow not a superhero movie but its still about what it means to *BE* a hero.

Sir Christian Bale is not the best Batman he is "The Batman"

"Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded" - If you live by that, you are a hero.

"Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded" - Thank you Nolan ans Bale, for rewarding our faith with the greatest Superhero series in human history.

The fact that this movie showed a villain and a hero winning at the same time

“Not the hero we deserve, but the one we needed” about Harvey “He’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one we need right now” about batman Love the comparison

Batman franchise: "We never said thank you." Christopher Nolan: "And you'll never have to."

My Top 3 Batman Movies: 1. The Dark Knight 2. Batman Begins 3. The Batman

*he’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a dark knight* Powerful words right there

His wife and son were threatened at gun point, but Gordon runs away from them and straight down to make sure Batman is still alive. What an absolute King

Gordon: people will lose hope Batman: they won't (looking at the child) Christopher Nolan

Perfectly describes Batman- "what ever Gotham needs him to be" THATS WHAT BATMAN IS

1:57 - I am whatever Gotham needs me to be ❤️ 😢

This scene I think perfectly encapsulates why Nolan was the best director to ever direct batman. He really understood the core of what makes the character special better than anyone else. Sure he made some mistakes along the way, like blowing up the league of shadows and stuff, but for the most part he translated batman's core ideas to the screen. The first was the no killing, which Burton and Snyder both ignored, but also the fact that batman is more than a man. He is a symbol. This scene perfectly demonstrates that. If he was just a guy fighting crime, he would have tried to do everything he could to not connect it to him. But he knew that someone had to take the blame. Harvey couldn't, the city looked up to him too much. Gotham still needed a police commissioner (that wasn't corrupt) so batman knew it was him. He, unlike Gordon or dent, didn't have a face. He was a symbol. Previously, that symbol was a nightmare of criminals and a beacon of hope to the innocent of Gotham, because that was what they needed. But priorities changed, and now that name had to be ridiculed and hated so that dents legacy could be intact, free to inspire Gotham in a way the batman never could. As the movie said, dent was the white knight, the one that had to remain pure for Gotham, but batman was the one that was whatever Gotham needed him to be. A dark knight. In the next movie, he once again must inspire and protect Gotham when Harveys legacy is tarnished and can't do that anymore. Nolan understood this better than anyone, which is why I believe he is the greatest director of batman, and why I think this movie is the greatest of all time. I hope Matt reeves can reach this level of understanding of the batman.

You can watch all superhero movies and no one has this level of complexity realism and mature themes throught the film. This is truly one of the best movies ever made.

The beautiful sound of cap at 3:00

Will it ever be possible to watch this scene without getting chills?

"I killed those people. That's what I can be." "No, no, you can't... you're NOT!" 😭

1:42 *So u became Gorr.*

"I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be"

1:50 When Hans Zimmer enters i always get goosebumps

The greatest ending to a cbm I have ever seen! Emotional, gripping, motivational! Truly amazing! Nolan+Zimmer=Masterpiece!!

3:06 This is me watching Christian Bale's Batman leaving for ever and never coming back

"Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded" That's deep.

This was Chris at his best and I mean it....the BEST.

1:35 Notice Gordon's reaction. He knows what Bruce is going to say before he even says it. It shows how well they understand each other.

this scene always makes me full of tears...the music ,gordan's monologue...the visuals...batman riding....epic scene!!!🤧

Christian Bale's Batman, was the best Batman I've ever seen, At the time DC was badly famous with the hero, because of some ridiculous films like Geoge Cloney's, Christian Bale's Batman was not only successful at the box office how he raised the hero and brought Batman back to fame again.

Chills every single time I see the ending of this movie. Hans Zimmer’s genius music and the acting in this movie is something to be admired for centuries.

‘Because he can take it.’ Gordon and Batman relationship is so damn good

That booming sound when batman says "i killed those people" still gives me goosebumps.

"I'm not a hero" - Hero

"You Either Die A Hero Or Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become A Villain" Greatest Quote I Have Ever Heard

After all of these years, this scene is STILL probably THE best ending scene I've ever seen. The epic music along with the ride into the ramp with cut to black is just SUPERB masterpiece. thank you chris nolan and Hans Zimmer for gifting us this and thank you God for gifting us Chris and Hans.

God what a film. What a scene. What a trilogy. Nolan did an amazing job

Wow. 14 years since this came out. Nothing will ever compare to seeing this on the big screen for the first time. I was a Batman fan growing up. I read comics my parents deemed appropriate, I watched the animated series, collected the toys, saw all the movies. Seeing Batman realized like this, starting with Batman Begins. No words can describe the feeling my 13 year old self had watching this at the midnight release.

I’m not a hero I’m what gotham needs to be. That’s One strong Man.

I have watched over 1000 movies but nothing top this feeling it's unexplainable Christopher Nolan made something which the superhero movie fans really deserve.

Thank you Hans Zimmer for accompanying Nolan's masterpiece with phenomenal and mesmerizing score.

Gordon's son the next day at the locker room: "bruh, *you wouldn't believe* ..."

2:05 FROM THIS 🤧🤧🤧🤧 . .

2:20 the funniest thing is they could’ve just turned off the bat signal off and move it away. but they started to be dramatic and use an AXE to break the fuck out of it while it’s still on to make it intense for the audience 😂...... it’s GENIUS !

4:03 "Roll Credits"

My friend who copied my homework:"Thank you" Me who already knew all the answers are wrong:"You don't have to thank me"

As a person who likes to write stories and scripts, I will always look to the dark knight trilogy, Mostly the dark knight, for inspiration

Man seeing Batman ride the Batpod with the cape flowing and the epic score was fire. 🔥🔥🔥

3:56 (shivers) (goosebumps)

It always amazes me that we went from Batman & Robin to this in a little over 10 years… Nolan really saved the Batman franchise.

"I'm not a hero" -The Hero. No one will ever top this scene. This is the standard now.

Man I remember seeing this in opening night, theatre was packed and everyone was just captivated for 2+ hours. I doubt anyone walked out of the theater disappointed. That feels like a lifetime ago now.

3:56 - 4:04 God, I love this legendary ending. A perfect ending for a perfect masterpiece of a movie.

Hans theme makes the ending perfect, cannot speak more about this movie, Heath's acting, Christopher Nolan's directing, this movie is truly a masterpiece. Only regret was not to see it in theater.

Proof that when DC does it right… it’s untouchable

‘Beacuse he can take it” while Batman is using every last of his strength keep running😭

This was such a good movie

The music is absolutely beautiful
