its dark , has a surreal sense of humour , most of the effects look real and batman is more brooding in this
I would say its equal to the awesome Dark Knight trilogy -

I love this movie, but I don't think the CGI point is valid. There were scenes in which you could tell things were miniature and Joker falling looked cartoonish.
Still one of my all-time favorite movies, but CGI would have helped with a few things here and there. -

Miniature is not CGI.
Joker falling (and the initial shot from above of Batman and his shadow) look like poor effects, but not necessarily CGI. There are many film/effects techniques (good or bad) that don't really on computer generation of imagery. -

Miniature is not CGI.
I didn't say it was. I said that there were scenes in the movie which were obviously miniature sets. That isn't any different than obvious CGI.
Same with Joker falling. It was obviously a cartoon. How is that better than CGI.
In the end, if they had good CGI back then, they would have used it.
Still love the movie no matter what. -

Burton paved the way for comic book movies after Superman 1 & 2, but Nolan's movies mostly sucked.
Plus, Marvel is kicking azz left and right. They've shown that comic book movies can be both entertaining and serious without being somber.
