In this second installment of our three part series, we take a look at the next chapter in the long legacy of Batman. After Batman and Robin tanked at the box office, Warner Brothers needed a new direction for The Dark Knight. Bringing in up and coming director Christopher Nolan, WB was taking Batman into a more gritty, realistic tone of storytelling. The release of Batman Begins, and the follow up The Dark Knight will stand the test of time as not only the best Batman Movies ever made, but they started a cultural shift in what audiences expected from the superhero and comic book genre.
