The whole movie has a great atmosphere, great pacing, very memorable scenes and is just beutifully shooted, it was a great experience to see for the first time and I loved how different the tone was from every other movie on the genre back then, I remember even the most skeptics to this kind of movies were pretty impressed, many thought superhero/antihero movies were bad by default, Dark Knight broke this taboo for a lot of them.

It was done well, but a masterclass? I'd say 300 and the use of color, speed ramping, and proper use of set design with painted backgrounds have more to offer someone looking to gain a better grasp of great direction. Or Sin City and V for Vendetta with it's use of colors vs black and white, proper use of negative space, great blocking. Or hell, even the Star Wars original trilogy. We spent a WHOLE DAY in film theory discussing the "terrible looking" fight scene between Vador and Luke. 

 

I wouldn't use The Dark Knight trilogy as an example of directing masterclass. It was a bunch of professionals doing a damn good job and making a solid film.

 

*edit* Also forgot about Psycho. It's use of blacks and whites as well as shot positions and allegory to themes of birds in it's main antagonist is impressive. Did you know Alfred Hitchcock invented to modern way we storyboard films. F'n impressive director.

Empire's fight scene was amazing, it was much more around character development and Luke's progression than most fight scenes are..
