These are the three Batman movies that are part of the Dark Knight Trilogy. They're great movies and show an interesting and complex Bruce Wayne.
The Batman
Since Batman was introduced into comics in 1939, he has become one of DC Comics' most popular characters. Its popularity only increased when it was adapted for film, first in a TV series in the 1950s and then in several live-action films over the last 40 years.
Batman is known for his dedication to justice, his uncanny intelligence and his impressive technological arsenal. All of this makes him a hero feared by criminals and admired by the good people of Gotham City.
If you haven't seen any Batman movies yet, hurry up to watch at least one of the following:
Batman Begins (2005): This film shows the beginning of Batman's story, from his childhood until the moment he decides to fight crime in Gotham City. It's a great introduction to the character and the world he lives in.
The Dark Knight (2008): The second film is considered by many to be the best Batman film. It is based on a comic book and features several captivating plots, including the introduction of the Joker, one of Batman's most famous enemies.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012): The third Batman film features a redemption story and brings back some key characters from previous films. While not quite as good as The Dark Knight, it's amazing for anyone who loved the first two movies.
The Dark Knights
In the comic book universe, few heroes are as beloved as Batman. The character, created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger in 1939, is one of the pillars of DC Comics and has already won several adaptations for theaters.

In 1989, Tim Burton took over the direction of the hero's first feature film entitled Batman: The Movie.

Michael Keaton lived Gotham City's bat and featured Kim Basinger, Jack Nicholson, Billy Dee Williams in the cast.
After the box office success of Batman Returns (1992), which featured Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman and Danny DeVito as the Penguin, Tim Burton got the chance to direct Batman Forever (1995). The film brought Val Kilmer in the role of Batman and Jim Carrey as the Green Goblin.
Batman & Robin (1997), with George Clooney in theaters, was not well received by critics and audiences. The production featured Barbara Gordon/Batgirl played by Alicia Silverstone.
In 2005 and 2012, Christopher Nolan took over as director of the bat hero in Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). The films are considered indispensable titles for all lovers of comics.
