The Dark Knight is. It absolutely is. The only performance I've seen in the last ten years to rival Ledger's Joker is Daniel Day Lewis's excellent performance in There Will be Blood. But the Dark Knight (and possibly TDKR; I have to see it again to be sure) is one of the finest mainstream/high-budget films of the modern era. It is a crime opera and an absolute epic, and if the Godfather is supreme cinema art, so is The Dark Knight. It is flawless.
Cronenberg must forgetting that his Oscar nominated "A History of Violence" comes from a graphic novel origin.
