THE DARK KNIGHT

One of the most thrilling bank robbery scenes comes from Heath Ledger’s Joker in 2008’s The Dark Knight. Cunningly killing off five members of his team whilst running off with the full haul, Ledger earned a posthumous Oscar for his stint as the classic comic book character. Arguably, this is one of the most entertaining opening film scenes ever made. To top it all off, the fact that Ledger manages to escape via flawlessly camouflaged yellow school bus (untraceable in a fleet of similar models) just as the police arrive, gives the perfect introduction to one of the most villainous anti-heroes of all time.
