I think the reason the Dark Knight trilogy appeals to so many, is because it is a realistic interpretation. You see Batman and The Joker and Bane and none of them have supernatural abilities or powers, and that's what makes it special. It hits closer to home because it is not as far off as other comic heroes.

[@midnightjustice1007]

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

[@charger19691]

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..

Batman Begins - the deepest of the trilogy The Dark Knight - the darkest of the trilogy The Dark Knight Rises - the most inspirational of the trilogy

[@josephmchaileh4522]

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

[@canaanclb]

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."

best trilogy of all time

[@briarrobbin5478]

My favourite behind LOTR and Star Wars Original Trilogy

[@samakura1000]

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

[@hussain1921]

+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.

[@briarrobbin5478]

+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.

[@hussain1921]

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

[@KamixSam]

People say these movies are dark and edgy. But whoever says that is completely blind to everything these movies offer. These movies are full of hope, with lessons for everyone to be learned. Sure the situations are dark, the people broken, the air tense, but even with all that hope rises. It’s a beautiful trilogy and should send everyone a message about takin action. I will always love these movies.

[@wheeler6768]

[@acr7780]

[@natkam451]

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.

[@acr7780]

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

[@natkam451]

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!

I think we always forget to mention what a tremendous job Cillian Murphy did with the Scarecrow. His costume may have been a bit dull compared to other versions, but that does not undermine his incredible acting. His role as the Scarecrow was more subtle than Ledger's role or Hardy's role, but all three roles were just perfect. Murphy brought this level of cocky iciness to his role of the scarecrow in Batman begins, but he also transitioned extremely well from well put-together psychiatric doctor to crazed madman roaming the streets. I feel his performance is very under-appreciated. This is probably obviously because his performance is followed by Ledger's brilliant joker, but I still believe Murphy did a wonderful job as well.

[@MrAkashvj96]

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.

When I say these as a young boy I was like "Not enough fight scenes." Twelve years later I'm totally in love with it. I don't see how these didn't receive at least one award.

I remember receiving Batman Begins on DVD for my birthday in ‘07 as a surprise gift from my Uncle. I probably played that disc at least 30 times… I was ecstatic for The Dark Knight in 2008 but my Mom wouldn't let me see it at the time. In January of 2010, she finally let me see it with my dad. Even though I practically knew the entire plot of the film from watching so many clips on KZbin, it was still one of the best movie experiences Ive had. My dad and I are huge hockey fans/players and upon hearing the hockey pads quote we were both dying in laughter. It was a very special time for me. Two years after that I saw The Dark Knight Rises at 11:59 P.M. July 19, 2012. Ever since the closing chapter, I try to revisit the trilogy at some point each year. Overtime I have became attached to the score, the writing and the acting/directing of these films. This retrospective perfectly wraps everything I love about this trilogy into a nice bow and brings back so many awesome memories from my childhood. Thank you Mr. Nolan for bringing this brilliant character to life in such a fantastic way.

That was one epic video,the reason this trilogy it stands out so much is because its more then a superhero movie, it's a gritty crime drama with emotional depth and a deep philosophy of one man's journey to safe his city from the criminals that corrupt it and to let everyone know Batman is symbol of justice and that a hero can be Anyone. The Avengers saved the world they got praised and cheered for, Batman saves a city, his home,Gotham, he gets a metal statue of himself erected in the city..........''A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy’s shoulders to let him know the world hadn’t ended.''

[@Lettich3407]

Seriously one of the best trilogies ever, I'm so proud of Christopher Nolan work ethic and determination of redefining what Batman's character is like from the comics. This video is so incredibly well done, great acting, so moving from the soundtracks makes the video even better and very inspirational all the way until the end. Very satisfying trilogy, and as for the haters out there just stop. For those who claim any movie or any trilogy should be perfect, you either have these dreams or in your own fantasy land. Not every movie is going to be perfect, you can always find a problem with a movie regardless how good it is.

[@noelburland7169]

One of the greatest movie trilogies of all time and three of the greatest superhero movies ever made. What elevates them above great movies into the legendary category is that they are all grounded in realism. There are no "metahumans" in sight and the mythology behind the villains is more realistic. Take for example the Lazarus Pit. In the comics the Pit contains a liquid that can give the gift of immortality but in its appearance in The Dark Knight Rises it is portrayed as a prison in an unknown country in which only Talia Al Gul and Bruce Wayne were able to escape from. Christian Bale, raspy bat voice aside, is outstanding as Bruce Wayne/Batman and all of the villains used are incredible, with the late Heath Ledger's Oscar winning performance as the Joker one of the greatest portrayals of a villain the world has ever seen. Christopher Nolan really saved the Batman franchise after the Joel Schumacher films weren't well received, leaving the character stuck in limbo until Nolan's trilogy elevated him into greatness.

[@elmertjee]

Major credit to Hans Zimmer for making this incredible soundtrack. I actually saw Hans Zimmer perform live, and he played a lot of these tunes in this video, incredible to hear, just amazing! The Christopher Nolan/Hans Zimmer duo is a once in a lifetime duo!

[@antona.1327]

I love this trilogy so much, I can't explain it fully. It created so much thought-provoking images and quotes with only three movies, it will be studied in the future in schools.

[@BabylonianCowboy]

These will never be topped. Not even peak MCU was this great.

[@doodookaka]

This is brilliantly edited and put together -- you understand the essence of each movie and how the different parts connect. Great job!

[@Onlyrealmusic4life]

The only thing that could have made this any better in my opinion would have been if they included parts of Batman's dialogue with Gordon and his speech at the end of the Dark Knight, and also Bruce's father asking "why do we fall?"

[@shantanusharma3957]

BATMAN :- I never said thank you. Christopher Nolan :- And you will never have to.

It's a beautiful reminder of this brilliant trilogy! The best Batman ever-in one of the best trilogies in cinema ever. No doubt!

[@Tallontherocks]

The greatest comic book trilogy ever. I got chills watching this.

[@steven310250]

The Dark Knight Rises, despite being less critically acclaimed. I really love the message and symbol theme it represented. People deep down truly long, wish for death because they hate enduring the hardships, responsibilities, and going through mental, physical pain. Bane as a villain represented by Nolan is truly ingenious. Bane challenges what people long for and its easy shortcuts. Bane forces society to go through shit, hardships, making the people suffer mentally and physically to achieve success. To rise against apathy, but his methods of doing that is unethical compared to that of Batman. Batman gives society hope while Bane tortures society. Even with hope, it's still not enough to rise against that of what lies deep down in everybody. Society has to keep continuing to stop bad people, but people don't like that. They don't like taking responsibility to clean their own city. They depend on the Batman because they can't take responsibility, think for themselves, don't want to face the harsh reality. The 3rd movie of the Nolan trilogy comes in full circle. Leaving the clear message metaphorically, near the end of the movie as a reminder to people that only we, the people can change our lives, keeping the peace and order. So long as we endure the hardships and continue to hold onto that will to survive.. Finding the meaning to life, we can overcome anything, even among the greatest of sufferings. We can't keep depending on the Batman, we have to do this ourselves. So in my opinion, the 3 Nolan Batman films are truly among the greatest of all times. No comic hero films can achieve to that level of thinking or deep messages. Well maybe except Persona but thats an anime JRPG game.

[@nikkinewbie6014]

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.

[@smolankosays]

These films...they have gotten me through some tough times. The personal connection you have to a film is a truly wonderful thing. This tribute...I have been coming back to this video for years. I thank you.

[@NikonChicFL]

I was skeptical when I first saw the trailer of Batman Begins. I was not disappointed after the movie. The whole trilogy was awesome! Christopher Nolan, thanks!

[@ToothlessKal]

The story of the Dark Knight trilogy is enough to be told for generations. It’s story is rememberable, almost like a classic story like Peter Pan. The story starts with a beginning, and it has an inevitable end. The quotes and lines from the film are like something out of a fable. The Dark Knight trilogy will always be remembered.. “You see only one end to your Journey” - Alfred Pennywise

[@mrdinie1]

i call this the best retrospective ever made. The dark knight always on the top

[@vivipyt]

This Trilogy, the score, the portrayal!!! It set a new era. I am saying this in 2019. This is still and will always be close to my heart!!! Thank you each and everyone involved in constructing and making this beautiful masterpiece!!! ..and thank you so much for editing and making a remarkable video!!!

[@ArGyProductions]

Dont you just love hose fine epiphany moments.. Depicting the life of a renegade leader from different vantage points, yet to deliver this fantastic cinematic trilogy it requires a collective team effort. Props to Steven Thomas for compiling this epic extended trailer in such a concise sequence.

[@contemplatingcinema17]

Each time I re-watch the dark knight’s ending scene it leaves me speechless. This movie has EVERYTHING! From the action sequences to the drama and psychological messages. I am absolutely astonished by what Nolan and his crew had achieved. In comparison to Endgame, which was rather disappointing, TDK does not focus on being a box-office movie. Instead, it tries to showcase how deep the development in the characters can be by making them suffer things which the audience can relate to. This realism in a sci-fi context is what I like most about this trilogy. The MCU lacks this human side and sometimes it feels too forced. Apart from that, absolutely loved the video! Great work!

[@SenXu]

Whoever edits these videos deserves to be paid for their work.

Best superhero trilogy ever made, the dark knight is also the best superhero movie ever made, nothing will top this.

[@ballo3595]

Batman Begins- Changed the way people saw reboots and how superhero movies are rebooted. It revived the people's love in Batman after the atrocity, "Batman and Robin." It's also just a badass movie. The Dark Knight- The best superhero movie to this day. Heath Ledger's Joker is one of the greatest villains of all time and he won an oscar for his performance. The Dark Knight Rises- The first "third sequel" in a superhero movie that was great. It surpasses Begins and is as good as "The Dark Knight." It allowed the trilogy to be consistently good and it provides the perfect/monumental end to this brilliant franchise. P.S. Bane = definition of Badass These are the achievements of *The Dark Knight Trilogy* and the reasons why it is not only the BEST superhero trilogy, but also the one of the best trilogies. Period.

[@ballo3595]

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.

[@ballo3595]

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.

[@Zoheb01]

I still get goosebumps when i hear Hans Zimmer' s music for all the 3 movies. Inspirational & Epic. Cant believe that 7 years have already passed. It still feels like yesterday.

[@alosim1541]

For me, the structure of The Dark Knight trilogy is the absolute perfect way to do a series of films. They feel connected with each other by having an overarching story, yet they still can be viewed as separate, stand-alone movies. For example, you can just watch The Dark Knight, not having seen Batman Begins and still be able to follow what's happening in the story. Sure, you get an extra sense of pleasure when you HAVE seen the others, but I'm just saying you don't have to. Also, just to add to that, each movie feels so different from each other, to the point where it's reasonable to assume that they were made by three separate directors.

[@juanjosemunera8567]
