26. The Dark Knight (2008) – Rating: 94%
With his 2008 film The Dark Knight, director Christopher Nolan upped the ante after making the spectacular Batman Begins in 2005. The Joker, Batman’s greatest foe, has already appeared on several occasions. But the late Heath Ledger gave the villain the best performance up to that time. Ledger did a great job of capturing the essence of the Joker with his delivery and peculiar mannerisms. The Dark Knight established a new bar for superhero films with the addition of Two-Face and a superb performance from Christian Bale as Batman. Ledger received the Best Supporting Actor Oscar after his passing, which is a real testament to the work he put into the role.
