The Dark Knight Trilogy Has 3 Massive DC Movie Failures To Thank For Its Success

Summary

• The Dark Knight trilogy stands out due to Batman's new, darker direction influenced by previous DC movie flops.
• Batman Begins set a new tone for superhero movies, contrasting past versions and renewing faith in the DC franchise.
• The Dark Knight trilogy proved again that superhero movies could be of high quality, altering expectations and paving the way for future successes.

Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy still holds up as some of the best Batman movies ever made, and their success is partly due to three massive DC movie failures. The Dark Knight trilogy comprises the movies that starred Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne, debuting with Batman Begins in 2005. This was met with critical acclaim, launching the subsequent two movies that would help reinvigorate enthusiasm for the Caped Crusader before Ben Affleck would take on the mantle for the first time in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Christopher Nolan's Batman earned significant praise for taking Batman in a new, darker direction. This would become the default tone for Batman for his next two cinematic iterations and significantly contrasted the tone that typified his character before. Ultimately, the stark contrast between Batman Begins and his previous appearance in Batman & Robin helped the movie as it felt even more like a breath of fresh air. This was compounded by the fact that two more DC movie failures preceded Nolan's trilogy.
