The series hails from the likes of fictional action superheroes like Superman, Iron man and many other superheroes who are more or less millionaires turned crime fighters at night. With unlimited financial backing and an ego to match, they roam the dangerous streets of the world ridding it of crime as they try to do good for the sake of the many. The persona of such individuals are quite unstable for they tend to have traumatic experiences in the past which brings out their inner evils but this time turning them to good. Batman started out as a comic character that was taken to the TV with the successful series. This was the time when gadgets and gizmos came to light that challenged the show’s special effects people to produce.
The Bat-phone as an example has been given some credit for the concept of the mobile phone which is now more common than computers. The Bat-Computer has become the representation of the developing computer industry that was at the time on the electro-mechanical side. The many innovations that were inspired by such forward thinking people in the movie industry that catered to our curiosity and thus filled the need are immeasurable.

Heath’s death, weighed heavy on the film but it performed better than expected partly due to the respect many gave to him. The Dark Night had him undergoing extensive research and experimentation to take on the character of the Joker. There are talks of more films but no solid facts have yet been put on paper but the characters have expressed interest.
There have also been no digital editing to the parts he made in the film, in order to preserve his overall character. The death of a stuntman mentioned in the previous post also tainted the film yet Heath topped all issues due to his untimely death being one of the hottest actors in Hollywood to date. He lived to the fullest and died so suddenly, people were so shocked at news of his demise. He is forever going to be part of the movie phenomenon that is Batman.

The director and co- writer of the Batman Begins and The Dark Knight film Christopher Nolan is not committed to another Batman sequel, clearing up that he does not usually line up projects after finishing a film. Gary Oldman is certain Nolan will return, and Bale said he would return if Nolan did. Oldman hinted in the third film Gordon would have to “hunt down Batman”. He has also speculated that the villain of the upcoming film may be the Riddler. Nolan explained that as long as he is directing, he is not including Robin in the franchise because Bale is still portraying a “young Batman”, which meant “Robin’s not for a few films”. In addition, Nolan considers the Penguin difficult to portray on film, explaining, “There are certain characters that are easier to mesh with the more real take on Batman we’re doing. The Penguin would be tricky.”

When Warner Bros asked Chris Nolan to direct and revive its Batman franchise, it was a match sure to be a hit. Both the Batman fils and Nolan seemed to gel well together, and this, in turn, resulted to amazing Batman movies to come out, one of which was Batman Begins, with actor Christian Bale cast in the lead role. Nolan said that he grew up knowing Batman, and this showed in the movies as him having an in depth knowledge of the Cape Crusaders psyche. In his hands, the Batman movies were revived and made fresh, his discerningly creative eye adding new twists to the franchise.
