It didn't. It was immediately supplanted by the MCU and not a single non-cape movie takes anything from it. The closest thing you can say is that Heath's Joker influenced some portrayals of the character in comics for a time. But the movie itself was pretty culturally innocuous.
Guess you had to have been there. Zoomers will never understand the thrill of coming of age with The Dark Knight about to hit the big screen. Superheroes weren't played out yet and the Joker represented what is still the primal fear of our generation, chaos and disorder. (Compare that to the greatest villain of the '70s, Darth Vader. At the time he represented what the living generations most feared, the overbearing tyranny of the Father. Hence the cultural revolution of that time, "hell no we won't go," spitting in the faces of the hyper-competent but cold-blooded technocrat GI elite, etc.) The Joker is the villain of our age, the personification of disorder and hyper-individualist anti-sociality. In The Dark Knight, the tyrant Father (Batman) is the *hero*, not the villain. This shit would have never flown in the 60s or 70s, but it did in the late 2000s, and it was the first time our generation saw our latent wishes projected back to us on-screen. The Dark Knight resonates even more in 2023 than it did fifteen years ago, and The Joker is such a powerful icon for this time of instability and volatility that the other big movie featuring him also became a smash hit.
Basically, The Dark Knight had the balls to pluck a new chord at the right time, and that's one thing that can send a film into the history books.
Comic book movies that were not Spider-Man were seen as cringe by normies, so Nolan went to extreme measures to make Batman realistic and the normies ate it up. Don't believe? Watch the Opie and Anthony where Patrice talks about how much he liked Begins because it was so realistic and detailed unlike the 90s Batman.
That's my point. No matter how much your try to scrub the material, you're watching a movie about a man who dresses up as a bat and fights crime. It was never realistic to begin with.
This movie at the time felt like how Endgame felt with how much buzz there was. I was in college at the time and some of the instructors were trying to be hip and fitting it into their lecture at the university.
because of heat legend's jokester
It was the perfect film
The first five minutes are perfection. After that, Nolan had a blank check to do whatever he wanted.
The only genuinely perfect film is Amadeus. It is a peerless movie entirely without flaw.
Only incels and arthoes watch and like slop like Amadeus
Sorry you're so mad about a movie you've never watched!
it could argued that The Batman genuinely is, but not this one
Normies were so broken up about a worthless junkie dying they were willing to over look the entire 3rd act not making sense.
whats it like having schizophrenia?
The film was irrelevant, the death of a Chad was relevant
>cultural impact?

wrong, homosexual
Why James Bond Skyfall completely rips
it off? The criminal purposely letting himself get caught now become a cliche
MI:Fallout , Dark Phoenix copied it.

It was a good film, which means it was god tier in terms of capeshit
before nolan people thought of george clooney nipples when you said batman movie
they ruined rachel
Could’ve had Amy Adams in Begins
Maggie was sexier
the first movie i saw her in was the secretary as a teeenager and it sparked interest in bdsm
she was trash in both movies
useless unnecessary character
The car chase through the mall is a ripoff of The Blues Brothers.
the snooze brothers
this movie had 0 sex
Just like its target audience.
lofl

Because it's batman, he is always cool and that movie was pre woke.
