The Dark Knight (2008) is a adaptation of the popular Batman franchise that has been revolutionised by Nolan with his remarkable take on the characters within. Nolans dark style and incredible scriptwriting made it stick out from previous attempts to put the franchise into a film.
Nolan took the story of this from various subplots from the Batman: The Long Halloween set of comics, as with a lot of films based off comic books it's very hard to write something that can contain every single plot choice that the original piece did. Also then again would we want to we already have the comics as a account of how it was originally ment to be seen. Also from a creative point of view as a director you wouldn't want a carbon copy that you cant put your own twist on. This is a adaptation, someone elses interpretation of the characters its not simply a version of the same story.
Because of this nolan truly must be one of the masters of this because of how creative he was with his character development giving these characters new life and possibly adding something needed to them to work in a film context.
Due to this and the critical acclaim it has received it should be put in any archive of graphic novel adaptations.
