The Dark Knight Trilogy (Paperback)
Christopher Nolan
KNIG
Christopher Nolan's phenomenal Dark Knight trilogy commenced with Batman Begins, a film which traced the origins of just how Bruce Wayne (played by Christian Bale) came to take on the role of the vigilante caped crusader who'd fight the forces of evil throughout Gotham City. But his adversaries in the first film paled in comparison to the terror unleashed by the anarchic Joker (Heath Ledger) in The Dark Knight. In the concluding The Dark Knight Rises, Bruce Wayne is physically and psychologically depleted by his encounter with The Joker, but he must marshal all his forces to meet the threat to Gotham that is posed by masked villain Bane (Tom Hardy). With a dark and imaginative vision that reflects the uncertainties of the world we live in, the films were phenomenally successful and this book gives you the chance to own the complete screenplays for all three films. A must-have for Batman fans!
