Also, David Goyer, the writer of the Blade movies is also another huge Batman fan, and so Chris, with all that support and with a huge interest about diving into the Dark Knight's world decided to take the challenge. Coincidence? Chris himself said once he is very fascinated with the character, once that he and his brother grew up with it. You can see a subtle Batman sign in the door of the main character of Following, Chris' first movie. Got it? Jonathan Nolan, Chris' brother, is a huge Batman fan.

That made Nolan reconsider making a movie about an eccentric rich man and to consider about making a movie about. So Nolan was thinking next in making a movie about Howard Hughes, but Scorcese stepped in first and released The Aviator. Nolan was an unknown for the big public, he only released three films: Following, Memento and a remake of the 1997 film Insomnia, all of them, great flicks with very low budget. That's where director (or I should say "savior") Christopher Nolan came in. IT BEGINS AGAIN And so we are in the year of 2003 and WB and DC comics decided to take a ride in the comic book movie business train again and reopen the possibilities of a brand new Batman movie. Finally, there was an attempt to bring Joss Whedon to direct a movie called Batman Begins, again, with Bale, but the director resigned.Ĭharacter's Point Of View Camera Shot (7) There was another Schumacher proposal of a more serious film adapting Frank Miller's "Year One" and another one with director Darren Aronofsky starring Christian Bale (yes, him) as Batman, but it didn't work out. After that, there were lots of proposals to bring Batman back on the big screen, there was a sequel to Schumacher's movies called "Batman Triumphant" that, THANK GOD, never happened. I, particulary don't like them the way some people do, I just don't have any kind of love or nostalgic feeling for them, but truth is, Tim Burton films were the closest attempts to show Batman the closest way possible to the comics, but still, it has major flaws, both Burton films, that crippled any attempt of going on with that proposal. edge, being the Tim Burton ones the most edgy to date, but still not very satisfying. The fact is, loved or hated, good, bad or just ugly, none of these adaptations were able to depict Batman in the way we know in the comics or in a respectful rendition, none of them had that. No one could resurrect this awful train wreck. The franchise started being considered by many like. And, as hard as it is for me to say that, it really deserved that halt. And then, the Batman franchise in the live action movies came to a halt for the next 7 years. two major aberrations in the form of flicks by director Joel Schumacker (Batman Forever and Batman and Robin) that we shouldn't waste our breath talking about, let alone watch it.

and in the end of the 80's and beginning of the 90's we had two major Tim Burton movies (Batman and Batman Returns) and during the 90's.

Then it came Adam West and Burt Ward, Batman, the comical TV series. Batman was in two movie serials in the years of 1943 (Batman) and 1949 (Batman and Robin), one with a different actor from the other behind the cowl, and both of these attempts were major failures, both in the box office and with public and critics, to the point that nobody would remember about these films in the years to come. Batman was debuting on the big screen in the form of a movie serial, which was a very common thing these days, once that nobody used to have TV in their houses.

THE DARK PAST Everything started in 1943. But first, a brief history of Batman on the big screen. But besides that I want to give you an insight of what brought us here and to point some of the references of this new and exciting chapter of Batman movies, going through comics, films, books and general inspiration for the saga. What I want to accomplish here is not to only state the obvious: that Christopher Nolan saved Batman on the big screen, yes, everybody knows that and it's been said that to death. And it's been a fantastic ride since then. Well, it's been a long 7 years run, since it started again the whole Batman franchise.
