Though the Christopher Nolan Batman movies were "deliberately and smartly positioned as a stand-alone," DC's new Superman movie, Man of Steel, is meant to open up a wide DC movie universe similar to the one Marvel started with Iron Man, Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Bros...

Added together, Christopher Nolan's entire Batman trilogy totals roughly 457 minutes, or a little over 7.5 hours. That might be seen as a big commitment for the superhero and/or cinema fan on the go. So while we highly suggest you make time in your schedule for the totality of the director's Dark Knight story (assuming you haven't already), there is now a quicker way, as Screen Rant has put togeth

Wally Pfister -- who shot The Dark Knight Rises for director Christopher Nolan -- is not a fan of The Avengers. The cinematographer, who has worked with Nolan on several movies and won an Academy Award for Inception, recently called Marvel's record-setting film "appalling," taking specific issue with what he called "illogical storytelling ...

In the weeks leading up to the release of The Dark Knight Rises, there were a lot of debates over the relative merits of Joss Whedon's Avengers film and TDKR's predecessor, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. When you get right down to it, that was inevitable: Avengers was a monumental success, with four years of buildup designed to create a series-spanning mega-franchise that would reflect the s

Still, there are more than a few questions left about Bane in the film, and not just about where he received his obvious Broadway musical training...

Each of Christopher Nolan's Batman films opens with a quiet, singular image forming the unmistakeable bat symbol. They're cinematic palate cleansers before the business of Batman begins in earnest. In Batman Begins, it is a sky full of bats; in The Dark Knight, it is a wall of flames; but the opening image of The Dark Knight Rises is notable for two reasons: the bat symbol appearing from cracking

While everyone knows the tragic truth behind why Heath Ledger's Joker does not appear in the new Batman film The Dark Knight Rises, it has not stopped some viewers and critics from asking why the fictional villain himself was in no way accounted for in Christopher Nolan's latest sequel, given his monumental role in The Dark Knight...

On sale now from Harry N. Abrams is The Art and Making of the Dark Knight Trilogy, a 300-page hardcover book whose contents should be evident from its title. Written by Jody Duncan Jesser and Janine Pourroy and featuring design by Chip Kidd, the book also contains a touching forward by the trilogy's director, co-writer and co-producer Christopher Nolan in which he bids farewell to the friends, col

Warning: The following contains major spoilers for The Dark Knight Rises. Proceed at your own risk! It probably won't surprise anyone to learn that I liked The Dark Knight Rises quite a bit. I was, after all, part of the team here at ComicsAlliance that wrote somewhere in the neighborhood of 60,000 words about how much I loved Nolan's last Batman film, and I walked out of this one feeling satisfi
