The episodes of this web series was like a news and talk show, bringing actor Anthony Michael Hall as the reporter Mike Engel, interviewing lots of important people from the city of Gotham, going from politicians to people like Lt.
Gordon and Harvey Dent and also bringing some information about the city and it's celebrities, like Bruce Wayne and the Batman himself. The show had 6 webisodes, being the last one the bridge that connected those with the movie. It was a very interesting tie-in. I remember finishing to watch Harvey's interview, the last episode from the web series, moments before I go to the movie theater to watch the movie.
It gave me a sensation of continuity and pleasure I never experienced in any other production. Votes: 95, As major influences from the comics, we can clearly notice being "The Long Halloween", Christopher Nolan's favorite Batman story, to be the crucial one. Along, of course, we have other elements from the first Joker story published in Batman 1 written in by Bob Kane, Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson and also from the first Two-Face story from We have also nice elements from the classic Alan Moore interpretation "The Killing Joke" and even clearly noted elements from a Brian Azarello recent comic book simply titled "Joker".
In movies and series, we have the Two-Face story told in the animated series from R min Action, Crime, Drama. A group of high-end professional thieves start to feel the heat from the LAPD when they unknowingly leave a clue at their latest heist. R min Crime, Sci-Fi. In the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn't go as planned. R min Action, Fantasy, Thriller. With a box office that huge and all the recognition Nolan earned from the excellent critics and opinions by public and media, it's more than obvious that it would generated a next Batman flick.
With or without Christopher Nolan directing. Fortunatelly, they chose the first option. Eight years after the Joker's reign of anarchy, Batman, with the help of the enigmatic Catwoman, is forced from his exile to save Gotham City from the brutal guerrilla terrorist Bane.
The production of the movie, once again started after Nolan filmed another one of his personal projects, the highly acclaimed flick "Inception".
Even having the whole story in their minds, the Nolan brothers decided only to return with a good script. The death of Heath Ledger and consequently the absence of The Joker worried everyone, but fortunately, everything went well. Once again they worked the script of the movie under a fake title, calling it "Magnus Rex".
Everybody was hyped as hell for this final installment of the Dark Knight saga. Everyone wanted to see what Nolan would do to live up to the expectations earned by the last movies and to give the fitting ending to the whole story told in those three films. And as the Joker would say: he didn't disappoint!! Harvey Dent was the hero, Batman the murderer, the outcast So Bruce becomes a recluse and retires Batman, but when Catwoman started an old feeling on Bruce and Bane came to town he feels a storm rising and decides to go back in action as Batman again.
The story is gripping, it never makes you blink. The movie follows a feel of anarchy and fear, it's tense, suspenseful, but also exciting. The acting is brilliant! Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle is sexy, exciting, thrilling and very strong. Tom Hardy as Bane is terrifying! And Nolan kept his promise untill the end: no Robin and no Batgirl or Batwoman in the whole trilogy!
Though, there's a Robin reference in the movie, as there was a Henri Ducard reference in Batman Begins. And it's awesome, I won't tell you how it comes out because it would ruin the surprise for you, but trust me, it'll feel great when you see it. The story rolls back to elements depicted in the last movies, tying everything together leaving no loose ends.
It ends the whole story perfectly, leaving, as always, an open door to new possibilities but never cheating the audience with the feeling it's incomplete. The story can perfectly be left here, like the closing of a circle. More than that! After all the darkness, the movie gives the audience in its end a sense of closure and internal peace, leaving people with the wonderful and courageous story of Bruce Wayne and Batman, as the epic and true legend it is.
An inspiration to everyone, just like Bruce wanted to be. You leave this film, wanting to become Batman, wanting to be an inspiration to other people.
And that's what a true hero movie is made of, that is the feeling it has to evoke! It brings a smile in your face and a cheerful feeling of victory. It's exciting and very emotive. It's thrilling and very meaninful in it's message. It's strong but it has a sense of lightheart at the end. Personally it left me very happy but at the same time with a bittersweet taste, knowing that a great era in the story of comic book movies had come to an end. But as we was always told, every great story has to end sometime.
Passed min Drama, History, Romance. A pair of lookalikes, one a former French aristocrat and the other an alcoholic English lawyer, fall in love with the same woman amongst the turmoil of the French Revolution.
Directors: Jack Conway , Robert Z. Votes: 5, So lets talk about the influences and connections of the movie. As for comics, one of the strongest influences was the Knightfall saga written by Doug Moench and Chuck Dixon.
You can clearly see it after an hour and 15 minutes in, when Batman and Bane faces each other. You can see the arc where Alfred leaves the Wayne Manor in that same story. You can sense the atmosphere of anarchy and conquest, the smell of powder and dynamite, the tension and the horror of citizens from Gotham when they are lead to chose to die in their city or to be exiled from it, taken from stories like The Cult and the No Man's Land saga.
And you can also notice again the desire of Bruce Wayne to retire and his will to return after many years like the Dark Knight, as it's depicted in the classic story The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. I even found incredible like Christopher Nolan was entitled to read and inspire himself from various moments and stories from the Batman cannon in the comics, since more marketable, strictly "made to sell magazines" sagas like Knightfall and No Man's Land to more artistic and higher note tales like The Cult and The Dark Knight Returns.
He took a small scale villain like Bane, which was created in a rush, with the only purpose to break Batman in half, to cause commotion and then disappear in thin air on the next sagas and stories, and turned him into someone really frightening and scary, a memorable adversary.
There's lots of other sources as well. Catwoman's suit, for example is a reference to Julie Newmar from the 's Catwoman in the comical Adam West series, and you can see the resemblance.
And there's even books as inspirations, yes, classic stories, Nolan also spoke that most of the plot of the movie was inspired by the Charles Dickens novel A Tale of Two Cities, beautifully depicted in a movie, and when you get the book to read, you notice it right off the bat. PS, pardon me for this infamous pun! Anyway, this beautiful inspiration becomes even more evident in a "certain part" of The Dark Knight Rises, when there's a letter written by "someone" with a passage from the book, and it's just beautiful!
It brought tears to my eyes and ended everything epically! Not Rated min Drama, Sci-Fi. In a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city's mastermind falls in love with a working-class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences. Now speaking about the movie connections, we can point, to start, the german silent movie Metropolis, by Fritz Lang, inspired by the german book Metropolis, written by Thea Von Harbou, Fritz Lang's wife.
In this movie, the society is divided into rich man and workers, poor people, who decides to start a revolution against the rich people who doesn't give a crap for them. And they also have a leader, called the "mediator" between head and hands.
It's a great and epic movie with strong characters, great development and surely a milestone from the history of cinema. And together with the Batman No Man's Land and Knightfall saga and the Charles Dickens book it clearly formed the central idea for the plot of the movie. Approved min Drama, Family, History.
When strongman Samson rejects the love of the beautiful Philistine woman Delilah, she seeks vengeance that brings horrible consequences they both regret. Director: Cecil B. Also, Anne Hathaway inspired herself on the Delilah character from the movie, Samson and Delilah, witch is ironic, because Bob Kane got inspiration from the Delilah legend to mold his own Catwoman.
Kane built his creation under Delilah's skin and now, Anne Hathaway is drinking from the same source! Adjusted for inflation, though, it ranks 33rd all-time in North American box office. The movie got eight Oscar nominations, which broke the record for the most nominations for a movie based on a comic.
It was attributed to an accidental overdose on prescription drugs. This includes becoming the first posthumous winner of Best Supporting Actor. Only Ledger and Peter Finch have ever won posthumous acting Oscars. Hopefully, nobody else joins that club anytime soon.
Then, Ledger sadly passed away. Nolan is a big Murphy fan, as his filmography shows. The Dark Ride Coaster has a story to it, as the premise is that you are being stalked by Joker.
