“The Dark Knight” is easily one of the most rewatchable superhero films. Not only does it have one of the best Batman performances from Christian Bale, but it also gave us Heath Ledger’s Oscar-winning turn as the Joker.

There are some plot holes that become obvious the more you revisit the Christopher Nolan film. You also may pick up on a few details you missed the second time around, especially if you watch the “Batman Begins” sequel with the captions on.
