The Dark Knight Trilogy - Epic Retrospective 

Agreed. And now Warner Brothers want to fuck it all up with their Batman v Superman cash grab.

Nein und

I wouldn't say they're fucking it up. We got a realistic take on batman and it was cool I guess. The story was great the emotional attachment was there, but the fighting/gadgets/detective part of batman was not nearly done as good in the Nolan movies. I feel that's where zack Snyder where shine, now we get an comic bookie version of batman. I want to see a 6'4 250lbs badass throw thugs through tables and walls and actually use his utility belt and detective skills

I think that's how Affleck and Snyder are going to show their version of Batman. A bare knuckles brawler, so it should be hopefully a good time watching Batman kick some serious ass..

I worked on set on all 3 unbelievable times

Canaan B nah i would give depth to the dark knight. The complexities of the morals between the joker and batman made it one of my favourite movies of all time

Few months late, don't know how I missed this post, but here I am. When I said Begins was the deepest, I meant that it went deep enough without going to dark. TDK pushed the boundaries of just being deep and went dark. And plus, I feel Ra's 's motives in Begins to be deep and, dare I say, justifiable. He's not your typical I-want-to-destroy-this-city-just-for-the-heck-of-it type villain. He actually believes his mission is to help society be removing all the filth in Gotham by destroying it. To him, it's like a crusade. A necessary evil. And all the things Ra's said about the League of Shadows carrying out missions like this for thousands of years, it really got me wondering what else they caused in history. Maybe they were the ones who started the Reichstag fire. Maybe they killed JFK. Batman begins is the movie that gets me thinking about it every time I watch it, so maybe it should be "the movie that made me think the most."

ikrrrrr

Well put

@@bhabisbhitria9370 yepppp iam also graduating too and my huge ticket out is doing a huge project on the DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY!!!!

Got goosebumps while watching this

My favourite behind LOTR and Star Wars Original Trilogy

+Briar Robbin fair enough, those are definitely up there for me as well, both of them are AMAZING trilogy's

+Briar Robbin Agreed. Lotr and Original Star Wars set the standard way too high. Dark Knight Rises fell short of that standard in my opinion which is why I favor those trilogies more. However, this was a fantastic trilogy.

+Huuss Reacts To be honest, Star Wars OT is more iconic and ahead of its time rather than 'well done', LOTR however is just a plain up masterpiece. And I agree with you that Rises lets TDKT down but it provided a perfect ending, in my opinion.

Briar Robbin Well put man. Ya Star Wars for me is better than TDK trilogy because of the fact that it was ahead of its time and really set the standards for future sci-fi movies. LOTR is, just WOW. I do agree with that last point, TDKR ending was FANTASTIC, however the movie as a whole fell short of those high standards. In no means was it a bad or mediocre movie. It was well done, just didn't reach the higher standards that's all. If I had to choose my top trilogies 1. LOTR 2. Star Wars 3. TDKT

same

Same lmao

Same

Same, man. I’ve rewatched this trilogy lord knows how many times

Don't forget James Newton Howard ! Some of his melody are so beautiful.

Oh shit you're right. Sorry James...love you too!!! :-)

very true!

So true

You forgot Mr Hans Zimmer.

Shit! I knew I forgot someone. And Mr. Hans Zimmer and his epic music!

Jared Wignall The combination of Nolan + Zimmer is a guaranteed blockbuster. Eg. Inception. Can't wait for Interstellar!

The Fapman Yeah, I can't believe I left out Zimmer. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

And what about Mr. Ledger??

Wheeler67 TDKR was a major let down. This trilogy certainly is not a masterpiece

Gandalf yes it is; ppl will always find smth they dont like; Rises has still many great, emotional scenes so doesn't matter; everything cannot be perfect , but looking at the bigger picture - yes, this trilogy is a masterpiece. Even Star Wars trilogy has many flaws. Still masterpiece.

Naticzka Kamińska No, it really isn't a masterpiece. BB was pretty forgettable. TDK however was fantastic. But then we were hugely let down by TDKR, which was also pretty forgettable and was riddled with plot holes. The only trilogy I would consider a masterpiece is the lotr trilogy (easily the best trilogy of all time). Each movie was fantastic and they just got better and better. I wouldn't even class SW OT as a masterpiece because of the ewoks in return of the Jedi. But yeah, with people calling this trilogy a masterpiece it just shows how overused that word is. Also imo: LOTR SW OT The godfather TDK

the Godfather is my fav of all time. LOTR - disagree, I didnt even like it&yes, I read the books first, I think LOTR is overrated. As for DKT I respect yr opinion, but I have different one. Mainly coz I think superhero movies are particulary hard to make - the foundations of a superhero stories are too schematic, hackneyed, the same or very similar over&over again . So to make it good let alone great is very hard job yet for me Nolan did smth so original with it& he did fantastic. So we have to agree to disagree. Cheers!

Naticzka Kamińska I guess we will have to agree to disagree because I literally disagree with everything you've just said lmao

Batman is the culmination of man's true potential.

The Darkfrost he didnt beat the joker

Linklas Yeah he kinda did buddy.

The Darkfrost not really lol hes the only who won, joker won for 8 years mate till batman "sacrificed himself to/saved" gotham

Mr Js INC The Joker has won in the end of tdk, when batman killed harvey dent to save gordons son. Because the Jokers Intention was to force batman to breake his one rule to kill someone.

Well Said! :)

***** That is kinda the message throughout the whole trilogy....

@Gideon CA Nolan's Batman Trilogy died as a legend

@Gideon CA I remember a "quote" from someone else on another video "You either die The Dark Knight Trilogy or you live long enough to see BvS and Suicide Squad"

No, Affleck is not a good cinematic experience: a fat, neckless Batman who kills and brands people carelessly? Bad cinematic experience.

gordios79 Batman killed people in his early comics and affleck’s batman looked a lot like the dark knight returns batman soooo

@@joshuacarpenter7447 Ben’s Batman is also suppose to be a tortured soul after he has experienced and seen shit in Gotham for 20 years. He became a killer after Robin’s death

@@joshuacarpenter7447 early is not what affleck represents, he was more like a The Dark Knight Returns batman, who, although was ruthless, did not kill! And the comics explicitly shows that!

@@sarthak.roy013 Wrong, it’s a combination of both

It’s 11:32 PM on a Saturday night as I sit in the Walmart parking lot for the past hour reading all the comments, let me just say this one in particularly get me teary-eyed and I’ve got to put this car in drive because I could sit here all night and read all of this because I care about it that much.

@Jarrod von Doom lol that's actually true...sad fact

Together with credits the 3 films are 8 hours long. A fenomenal 8 hours of cinematic legend.

Only two Oscars were given to this trilogy. Heath Ledger won the Oscar for his portrayal of the Joker, and The Dark Knight also won best sound editing.

MrGojira95 it is responsible for the change to the best picture category

A fenomenal movie can be watched no matter how many times. It's eternal. :)

many people like affleck, he was good and i like him too, but bale will always be my batman

@@Angyali yesh but we WANT MOAR!!! The ending was awesome, and it was a wise move to just end it then like this but loving the films and the cast and crew and wanting to rewatch it and loving the films and wanting MOAR are two different things

@@mariakarpenko5882 can I be your Batman? Correction: Ahem, CAN I BE EVERYBODY'S BATMAN?? PLEZ

His terribly stiff fighting, that ridiculous voice, never really felt intimidating like batman is suppose to be, and more...Affleck’s was a lot better and more like the comics

I've always felt that the Scarecrow character was somewhat underdeveloped and needless in Batman Begins. Cillian Murphy's performance was great but his character didn't really contribute too much to the film. It felt like he played a really important role at first but if you think about it, you can easily write him off without changing much of the primary plot of Batman Begins. That's never a good sign.

Only villian to be in all three!

@@MrAkashvj96 he was supposrd to br a distraction and a supplier for the gas and the main reveal that ras al gul was not dead

Well said Cillian Murphy did a fantastic job and I just wanna know would you like to see his mask

What saddens me the most is the dark Knight rises original strip had heath ledger the joker in it for three force of the movie and it saddens me that I and no one else will ever see that can you imagine Tom Hardy is bane Cillian Murphy as scarecrow and heath ledger as the joker and two face I guess to and cat woman….. she did fine, I guess whatever, ALL IN THE TRILOGY’s FUCKING CLIMAX, I could seriously cry thinking about that loss, Just like I do every time I see heath ledger win the Oscar and he’s not there to except oh God I’m emotional back to the tributes

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ricky Cross Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Josh Vance i totally agree, LOTR trilogy, original star wars trilogy and TDK trilogy are the best 3 IMO, i dont have a particular order bc there so different in there repected styles, like space movie, fantasy and comic book movie, all amazing IMO

And the most epic superhero music

Brilliantly put.

+Paul R ;)

I love the dark knight trilogy besides bales voice but I still think Spider-Man 2 is a better movie but i do love these movies don't murder me so I agree

+TooCoolForYou well Spider-Man focuses on how Spider-Man or a real person who was a superhero would deal with everyday life he dark knight focuses on a chaos a psycho killer and man who dresses up as a giant bat their different superhero movies

the best of the best psyco killer who dresses up as a giant Bat? Then Spiderman dresses up like a giant Spider. Dude Batman Begins is enough for you to capture Bruce Wayne.

laurensius williem :)

Steven Thomas yes i do agree with you i love it eveytime i watch it just recall the small feelings to this thanks nolan

+Steven Thomas You are awesome I've been watching this over and over again. It's so motivational I love it. Great job😎

laurensius williem Same. This is one of the best videos on RU-vid.

Not really but alright

@@joshuacarpenter7447 yes really

As a fan of both, Marvel movies gives the immediate fix but this trilogy is a classic and makes me want to come back every year or so.

​@@joshuacarpenter7447 for a kid with a 12 year old IQ it would seem like that

And one of those great films is a cinematic masterpiece, The Dark Knight

the best superhero trilogy ever made

Godfather trilogy. ?

Godfather Trilogy: The first two films are solid but the third is utterly horrendous.

+kobretti88 I forgot that one. Toy Story does fit this category.

Mir I’m here with you !

Eight years now. Wtf. This is just beautiful.

True

I will not take anything away from marvels fantastic success they started a movie in 2007 called the hawk with the story already written to Captain Marvel it would come out over 15 years later it’s brilliant movie making every movie I’ll 29 million of them link up together and make perfect sense to the story. But…… No Marvel movie even compares to three Christopher Nolan films about Batman 100% well said fax

No, people who complained about Bale's voice were giving out as valid an opinion as your shit-ass comment.

Raul Gofuckyourself No thanks. Muted.

Rises is my favorite.

***** mine too.

***** Rises was good, but I hate how Nolan made Bane a bitch, to Talia Al Ghul.

Raghav Rangarajan Infinity War and Endgame showed what a cosmic comic event would look like on the big screen. The Batman movies were grounded in reality and almost all mystical elements were gone. You’re comparing things that are aiming at vastly different goals

While you are off being salty,most fans like us will be satisfied knowing that we have received movies like the Dark Knight and Endgame in these two decades

This was a masterpiece ❤️❤️ heath got an Oscar too what did mcu get -_-

@@dantheman64 yep

@@jfproductions4141 Well said. The tension inside the cinemas in '08 was just so intense.

ohh stop sucking

Well said. I enjoyed your comment. It is definitely a running motif through the trilogy that Bruce has appointed himself a savior and protector of Gotham when the people weren’t even willing to work and sacrifice to save themselves / their City. It’s clear to me that Bruce’s love for Gotham came out of loyalty to his Father and he simply picked up that torch - and carried it not as his Father had - through philanthropy and by example- but in a way that gave Bruce what he himself needed too - an outlet. What is less acknowledged is the fact that Bruce is not Batman entirely for Gotham’s sake even though he convinces himself he is. Batman is the personification of his childhood trauma playing out into the real world instead of festering on the inside. Batman is a coping mechanism and a symptom of his trauma and unresolved grief and survivor’s guilt for not dying with his parents especially since he was “to blame”. The toll on his body, soul and spirit from being Batman is Bruce’s self-imposed punishment and atonement. This pattern is shown again when Alfred laments that Bruce never moved on to another woman after Rachel’s death and Bruce replies that Rachel wasn’t there to be able to move on so how could he? Bruce ties himself to the ghosts of those he loves, putting a hard stop to pursuing his own life happiness instead pursuing his loved ones’ goals. That is Bruce’s arc in this trilogy - he finally learns how to best honor the lives of those he’s lost - by living his own and not feeling guilty for doing so. Very powerful lesson indeed. That is how Nolan’s Bruce Wayne is able to leave Batman AND Gotham behind at the end of Rises - because he resolves the trauma of believing he was responsible for the deaths of the two people he loved most in the world. Even if he did still believe himself to be responsible a little, he forgave himself. And he realized he could live his life away from Gotham, free of the obligation of the Wayne Legacy of self-sacrifice in service to Gotham. This Trilogy was about a man moving past his demons and putting himself on a path to discover who he could be free to become if he only chose to give up the past and look forward into his future. Truly inspiring and excellent craftsmanship on the Nolan Brothers’ and Goyer’s part; but I think we can all agree this was Christopher Nolan’s vision most of all. Kind of interesting to note that Nolan’s Inception was also about the protagonist (Cobb) not coping with the deep grief he felt losing his wife in a healthy way. Maybe a bit of a recurring theme for Nolan. Powerful theme also exemplified by the movie Gravity.

Affleck is not even Batman.

ikrrrrrr fuckk him

I don’t like the bale fight scenes tho

@@ethanwainwright5113 bruhhh then u have no reason to be here GTFO!

Christian bale is the best batman, but Ben Affleck is the best Bruce Wayne till now.

Return_ofthe_ Mc I got emotional through the whole thing

"Madness as you know is like gravity... All it takes is a little PUSH! HE HA HA HA HA"

Where is the trigger? is the best line

Let's put a smile on that face

You must become more than a man in the eyes of your opponent. The will to act is everything! Words to live by, thank you Ra's.

"How about a magic trick"

Minh Quan Neeson's Ra's al Ghul was actually one of my favorites. The way he sounds so calm, charismatic, and filled with malice at the same time. I also like how he's antithesis for Thomas Wayne by being a father figure for Bruce.

Minh Quan I actually prefer Bane over Ra's. For me, Bane and Joker are neck and neck because Bane systematically destroys everything Batman fought for. Bane sets up a corrupt judicial system and runs/ruins the city through fear, which is what Bruce stopped in BB. He also pulls Gotham into complete chaos and frees every criminal Harvey put away, which is what Batman tries to stop in TDK. What makes it worse is that Bane is doing all of this with Wayne tech. Bane is also a dark reflection of Batman. He's what Batman would be if Bruce was completely consumed by his pain. This is made very apparent when it's revealed that Bruce escaped the Pit, but Bane didn't.
