The Flash's comparisons to The Dark Knight spark a new discussion as DC fans try to decide which pre-Nolan movie matched the 2008 phenomenon.
The Flash's positive reviews, which have led many to compare the 2023 movie to The Dark Knight, motivate fans to discuss which is the best DC movie that came before Christopher Nolan's 2008 phenomenon. Due to its critical and commercial success, its impact on the superhero genre, and Heath Ledger's unforgettable performance as the Joker, The Dark Knight continues to be the point of comparison for superhero movies to this day.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT However, few comparisons between The Dark Knight and the DC movies that came before it have been made. Reddit user thePHEnomIShere sets out to fix that, and other Reddit users come up with their candidates. Unlike with recent releases, DC fans seem to agree on a couple of pre-Nolan movies that are as good as The Dark Knight.
Including movies like A History of Violence and V for Vendetta is valid in this discussion, as they are live-action adaptations of comic books and graphic novels published by DC, only separate from the mainstream DC universe commonly associated with superheroes like Batman, Superman, and the Justice League. Still, it's evident that Batman and Superman led in popularity long before The Dark Knight.
A decade later, Tim Burton's Batman took the superhero craze to new heights with a massive promotional campaign and a bold transformation of the character. Burton's unique style left behind Adam West's campy TV star and introduced a gloomy force of nature. Although Michael Keaton's Batman casting was controversial at first, the movie was an undeniable success, becoming the highest-grossing DC movie until The Dark Knight.
The number of universally disliked DC movies released before The Dark Knight, including Superman IV: The Quest for Peace and Batman & Robin, vastly narrows the options. While Superman II and Batman Begins also participate in the discussion, Richard Donner's Superman and Tim Burton's Batman were so influential in the superhero genre that the "best DC movie before The Dark Knight" title could easily fit either film.
