'''The Dark Knight Trilogy''' is a series of films directed by [[Christopher Nolan]] and based on the [[DC Comics]] character [[Batman]], released between June of 2005 and July of 2012. The first film of the series, ''Batman Begins'', served as a reboot of [[Warner Bros.]]' ''Batman'' film franchise following the disappointing response to 1998's ''Batman & Robin''. Unlike previous on-screen depictions of Batman, Nolan steered away from the fantasy comic boook themes of the character and instead aimed for a more dark, realistic approach for his films.
