Related Films to the Dark Knight

From my earlier post you probably know that I'm studying Christopher Nolan for my Research Project but i also have to compare and contrast the films that he has directed with others. Henceforth I have chosen two films; Memento, a physiological thriller and Inception, a sci-fi, action, heist, thing... to reference with The Dark knight, a superhero movie. These two films are a couple years apart and are different genres so they can be used to efficiently see how Nolan has developed, changed and grown in his style of directing.
