There is not enough time in the day to talk about how perfect the dark knight is.

From a 20 year old. I seriously wish they would re-release the Trillogy in theatres. I'd like to think with The Batman coming out next year. They would show them in theatres again.

The drunk driver who thought aliens were invading is the hero we didn’t know we needed 😂

My favorite quote from this trilogy is "why do we fall, so that we may learn to pick ourselves up" as a kid who was pushed around a lot that one hit home.

bonus fact: Scarecrow was the only villain to make an appearance in each of the movies

the death of celebrities has never really bothered me much. It's a part of life. Plus, I don't personally know the celebrities that've died. But, like Chris Farley, the death of Heath Ledger really hurt my heart 😪

Not much of a DC guy but the Nolan Trilogy was fantastic!

[imanassole]

I always felt both the Nolan series and the Burton movies were like comparing Muscle cars to JDM/Tuner cars. Both are great in their own unique way. Both do different things well. Being a life long Batman fan, I simply couldn't imagine either not existing.

I just showed my 7 year old daughter this amazing trilogy 4 days ago. She loved it and even cried when she saw Alfred crying at Bruce’s grave. I think it’s safe to say these might be some of her favorite movies now.

The Fact that a connection between Bruce Wayne / Batman & Teddy Roosevelt was made literally made me love this channel

the ‘cillian’ in cillian murphy is pronounced ‘kill-ian’
‘glasgow’ is also pronounced ‘gla-z-go’

Another fact about Christian Bale and Liam Neeson. They trained the ice scene at Slough Ice Rink. I know this because I used to skate there every weekend and one weekend (making a 2 hour journey to get there) found the ice rink closed with no warning. Staff as the rink said they were practicing on the ice, and some behind the scenes footage shows them training there. Then I walked 45min back to the bus station and 2 hour bus home gutted I couldn't skate lol.

I’m just so sad they never did anything with Joseph Gordon-Levitts character in other movies

If somebody ever says they “aren’t a DC person, ” I show them The Dark Knight.

Wow I didn't know Jack Nicholson hated on the Joker like that!?! IMO nobody will ever be able to touch Ledgers work! He captured exactly what I'd want to see in the Joker and adds to the overall dark nature of the series. Leto actually did better than I would've thought and better than what people credit him for!?!

[sixstring]

I don’t think I ever knew that about Roosevelt. Tragic and Inspiring. Considering the kind of unbelievable badass he was, he was the Batman of his time.

Heath Leger was incredible one of the best acting jobs ever i still notice nuances to this day RIP

[derekdreke]

This is a perfect example of what happens when everyone is firing on all 12 cylinders 👌 absolutely amazing ! From the storyline to the characters down to the small details ! They just do such a great job sometimes and this is good proof of that

[timothyholley]

Not sure if anyone mentioned, you forgot the ending scene in Dark Knight Rises. When they revealed the statue of batman everyone was seated around to form a smile. This was Christopher Nolan's tribute to Heath. Watch the overhead shot of that scene then pause it.

I love this trilogy. It’s my favorite set of Batman films as it focuses on Bruce Wayne and his journey as Batman, which hadn’t really been done before. I appreciate how different it is as you’re able to get sucked into the story and world that’s been created by Christopher Nolan and company. Christian Bale’s performance as Bruce Wayne/Batman is my favorite portrayal of the character as he really got the different versions of the character down to a T. The Batman persona where he unleashes his anger and pain onto criminals, the fake playboy Bruce Wayne that the city as a whole sees as an arrogant, self centered person that’s good at business and the real Bruce Wayne that people like Alfred and Fox see in all three films. Bale’s performance is one of the greatest I’ve seen on film. I think he should have been acknowledged by the Academy a time or two for his performance as how incredible he was in the trilogy, same with the trilogy not being acknowledged for top prizes for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for its final two installments, especially when The Dark Knight Rises didn’t get nominated for even technical awards, likely due to the shooting that happened in Aurora and how they probably weren’t interested in nominating a film that has such a tragedy attached to it. And regarding Heath Ledger as the Joker, it was never planned that the Joker would show up in more than one film as Nolan doesn’t really plan for sequels. Therefore, once we it was said that Heath Ledger died, Nolan made sure to never include the character in the third film at all, especially since he died during the editing of The Dark Knight and would have been more focused in getting that film done rather than plan for any future Batman film as again before only focuses on one film at a time and aims to make it the best film he can in the moment. And while it’s true he did think early on about doing a trilogy when he was writing Batman Begins, he quickly discarded that idea as he didn’t want to get ahead of himself and think he will defiantly get to make a trilogy. If he got to make a trilogy then great, but he wanted to focus on Batman Begins at that time. Same with The Dark Knight. Each film does have a bit of an open ending to them, but they’re made with a bit of a finality where if there’s no more to this series then we can be happy with what we got. He had an outline of a possible third film by December 2008, at which point the Joker being in the third film was out of the question. All that said, Nolan and everyone did an incredible job on these films, truly one of the best trilogies of all time.
