Even putting aside BB and TDKR, I honestly, truly feel that the Dark Knight is a defining film of a generation in terms of genre films in pop culture. That is up there with Raiders of the Lost Ark and Empire Strikes mBack in that regard. And no I don't think X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, etc come close. Avatar might have it beat in box office but for the #1 movie of all time, it goes relatively untalked about so I wouldn't even put that up there. Avengers has a chance to be one of those films but we will have to wait a few years and see how time evaluates its place in pop culture.
Call me a fanboy or say its hyperbole but that's my honest to god opinion.
