I runga i te paetukutuku arotake arotake Rotten Tomatoes, Ko te Dark Knight he whakatauranga whakaaetanga o 94%, i runga i nga arotake 332, me te toharite toharite o te 8.5/10. Ko te whakaaro nui o te papaanga e kii ana, "He pouri, he uaua, he kore e warewarehia, Ko te Knight Pouri e angitu ana ehara i te mea he kiriata pukapuka pakiwaitara whakangahau, engari he korero mo te mahi kino". Ko te Metacritic, e whakawhiwhia ana ki te whakatauranga paerewa i runga i nga arotake mai i nga kaitohutohu o runga, i whakaarohia he toharite 84 mai i te 100, i runga i nga kaitohutohu 39, e tohu ana i te "whakawhetai o te ao". I kii nga pooti CinemaScore ko te toharite o nga kaiwhakaari kiriata i whakawhiwhia ki te kiriata ko "A" i runga i te A + ki te F tauine; he iti noa iho te hunga whakarongo ki nga taane me nga pakeke. Ko Roger Ebert o te Chicago Sun-Times, e wha o nga whetu e wha, i whakaahuatia te Dark Knight hei " kiriata whakamataku e neke atu ana i ona putake ka waiho hei aitua whakamataku. " I whakamoemiti ia ki nga mahi, te aronga, me te tuhi, me te kii ko te kiriata "ka tautuhi ano i nga mea ka taea e te kiriata pukapuka pakiwaitara". I kii a Ebert ko te "mahi matua" na Heath Ledger; i whakaaro ia mena ka riro ia hei kaiwhakaari tuatahi i toa i te Academy Award mai i a Peter Finch i te 1976. I whakawhiwhia te Oscar ki a Ledger kua mate. I whakatauhia e Ebert tenei hei tetahi o ana kiriata pai e rua tekau o te tau 2008.I tuhituhi a Peter Travers o Rolling Stone he hohonu ake te kiriata i te mea i mua atu, me te tuhinga "mahi" e kore e aro ki te tirotiro i te Joker me te hinengaro rongonui, engari ka kukume i te kaitirotiro ki te tirotiro i te hinengaro o Bruce Wayne. I whakamoemiti a Travers ki nga kaiwhakaari katoa, me te kii ko ia tangata e kawe ana i tana "'A' kēmu" ki te kiriata. E ai ki a ia ko Bale te "whakaoho", e whakaoho ana i a Al Pacino i te The Godfather Part II, ko te whakaahuatanga a Eckhart mo Harvey Dent he "he tino nekehanga", a ko Oldman "he tino pukenga ka whakaohooho ia i te pai hei Jim Gordon". E kii ana a Travers ka neke atu a Ledger i te Joker mai i te whakamaoritanga a Jack Nicholson ki te rohe pouri, me te whakaatu i tana tautoko mo tetahi kaupapa pea ki te whai...  Pātai: he aha te kōrero a Davids ki te mahi a Bale?
