Book description
The trilogy commenced with Batman Begins, which traced the origins
of how Bruce Wayne took on the role of the masked crusader to fight
the forces of evil. But the Batman's adversaries in the first film
paled in comparison to the forces of anarchy unleashed by The Joker in
the second film, The Dark Knight. Physically and psychologically
depleted by his encounter with The Joker, in The Dark Knight Rises,
Batman must marshal all his forces to meet the threat to Gotham City
posed by the masked villain Bane. These three films form a trilogy
unique in the history of cinema - and express a dark imaginative
vision that reflects the uncertainties of the 21st century.
Christopher Nolan is the writer/ director of Following, Memento,
The Prestige (with Jonathan Nolan), and Inception, as well as Batman
Begins (with David S. Goyer), The Dark Knight (with Jonathan Nolan)
and The Dark Knight Rises (with Jonathan Nolan).
