Forget the great things you’ve heard about The Dark Knight. No matter how lavish the praise or how determined the hyperbole, it’s all understatement. The Dark Knight is I suppose the greatest superhero movie ever made, but it’s so far beyond the limited men in tights genre that attempting to compare it with movies like Spider-Man, Superman, or even Batman Begins is almost laughable.

Whether the semi-demolished house and the homeless boy are on Earth, or on the alien planet is not clear.
The reason Chow’s character can’t afford to buy the child a toy is because he is fired without pay from his part-time job as a construction worker.
