i heard that the dark knight rises is the third movie. then i got something wrong. new question: what is with the second one, i mean movie one > skipping movie two > making movie three???
To make myself a little more clear, I liked the first a little more because it actually had a theme, fear, whereas the second was just like, "Ono! The joker!" and more action.
This is what I get for taking so long to post. Thanks for making me look dumb jeol.
i have seen a movie with two face so the dark knight is...a remake? or a prequel?
sorry for double posting. i meant i saw two face in a batman movie before the dark knight came out. and since two face died in the dark knight he got sent to jail in the other movie. or died, i cant remember it right.

That was probably Batman Forever. He died in that one too.
Did he actually die in the Dark Knight? I thought he was just unconscious...
Nolan has confirmed that he died. There was a public funeral thing at the end.
Technically, I think the Batman movies are remakes... Or something like that. There were Batman movies in the past, but I don't think they were close in terms of plot or storyline.
Yeah. There's the old one with Adam West. The ones that came out in the 90s with Val Kilmer, Michael Keaton and, for some reason, George Clooney. 3 or 4 animated series. Now there's the unrelated BB, TDK, and TDKR.
The Dark Knight trilogy is meant as a re imagining and an attempt to move Batman away from the camp that characterized the earlier adaptations. It's evocative of the style of the 1986 series of the same name written by Miller (particularly the grittiness and realism that wasn't a staple of the Batman franchise in earlier collections, as well as the importance of Batman as a symbol in the minds of the general public).
On occasion, I do believe The Dark Knight takes itself a bit too seriously and attempts to shove its mediocre metaphysical ruminations down my throat (which is something that many comic book adaptations seem to do these days - exhibit A, the philosophically failed Watchmen adaptation). Batman Begins was a well done exploration of the psyche of a hero and a particularly well executed cinematic study on fear. TDK attempted depth but it didn't come over very well. Not to say I didn't like it, because it had great direction and the actors were solid, but it struck me as having tried too hard.
