Best (Serious) Batman Movie Ever
(I have a soft spot for the 1960s Batman film, which is very much its own beast.)

Highly, highly recommended.

The 1966 "Batman" is in a universe of its own, especially since Heath Ledger's performance makes Cesar Romero's seem...well...clownish.

I would agree with your assessment, though I really don't care all that much about crime films per se. I have come to hate the superhero movie genre sight unseen, but Dark Knight scratched the right itchy places just as a great superhero comic can (though generically DK reminded me much more of a John Ford Western -- not that that's in any way a Bad Thing).
