No matter what type of film Nolan chooses to make going forward, virtually every major comic book movie in the foreseeable future will be compared to his Dark Knight trilogy.
Christopher Nolan spent years ushering in the modern superhero genre with The Dark Knight Trilogy, and it looks like he has no inclination to return for another go-around.
Nolan continued to produce that level of quality in the next two installments in his trilogy: The Dark Knight (which is heralded as one of the greatest superhero movies ever made) and The Dark Knight Rises.
It’s no secret that Joel Schumacher’s critically maligned movie, Batman & Robin, effectively killed the Batman franchise, which began with Tim Burton’s groundbreaking 1989 film, Batman.
