Batman Trilogy

Most people know Batman from the cartoons, the comic book, or the most recent movies. But what most people dont know is that the Batman adaptation actually began in 1943. Shown in black and white the movie had two sequals made after it. Then another mvoie was made in 1966 which followed the comic book of the 1960s. 25 years later Tim Burton recreated the Batman movies in 1980s starting Michael Keaton in the lead role, and Jack Nicholson as "The Joker". While the movie was a bit cheesy, the flick made enough money to get sequels started and Burton returned with villains Catwoman and The Penguin for 1992's Batmans Returns. But then Warner Bros left us with Joel Schumacher and a replacement Batmen Val Kilmer (Batman Forever - 1995) and George Clooney (Batman & Robin - 1997).With a new direcrtor in place the movies were still too cheesy, and had too many villains mixed in. After an 8-year hiatus, Warner Bros rebooted the Batman films with 2005's Batman Begins. Directed by Christopher Nolan it became a more realistic and relatable Batman. Batman Begins follows the origin of Batman, how he became Batman and why he choose that path. Soon after Christopher Nolan release the Dark Knight staring Heath Ledger as the Jokern in 2008. Next Christopher Nolan released a third and final movie to the trilogy the Dark Knight Rises in 2012, with Bane as the new villian. Christopher Nolan is actually working on Man Of Steel which is going to work up to a Justice League movie, in Which Batman will be rebooted again.
