Christopher Nolan’sThe Dark KnightTrilogy is undoubtedly one of the greatest superhero movies ever starring Christian Bale as Batman in the chronicle of the titular Gotham hero. However, the trilogy was almost left incomplete as Nolan had no plans to move beyond the 2005 hitBatman Begins.
More than half ofBatman Beginswas based on the mythos of Batman’s origin and how he turned into Batman. For Nolan, the movie was the end of his tenure at DC without ever thinking of extending the franchise with the later installments.
Christopher Nolan Was Reluctant To CompleteThe Dark Knight Trilogy
Christopher Nolanmade Batman cool again through his acclaimedThe Dark Knight Trilogy. Although it is hard to imagine the franchise not happening afterBatman Begins, Nolan was unsure of the expansion of the franchise, particularly the second movie,The Dark Knight. His brother,Jonathan Nolan,who co-wrote the script ofThe Dark Knightwith Christopher Nolan, revealed that the director was satisfied withBatman Beginsand wanted to move on from the project as he already had a lot on his plate. Speaking withJosh Horowitz, Jonathan shared that he had to convince the director that there was more to it.
Christopher Nolan’s One of the Best Movies of His Career Wouldn’t Have Been a Success Without Filming The Dark Knight First
“I think Chris was somewhat reluctant to do it […] He was, frankly, unsure about whether he wanted to make another Batman movie. I don’t think he wanted to repeat himself. I think he was very satisfied with the film he made. He was very proud of Batman Begins. I was as well, but from my perspective, I was like, ‘It’s like we’ve made this sports car. We’ve built this sports car and don’t you wanna take it for a drive?’ It felt clear to me that Chris was on the fence about making another movie. So it was kinda on me to prove [this is worth it].”
Thanks to the younger brother, the movie took shape and went on to be an astonishing hit while earning critical accolades. The movie got eight Oscar nods, winning two, including Best Supporting Actor, which went to Heath Ledger for his marvelous performance as the Joker.

While Christopher Nolan was busy with his 2006 sci-fi thrillerThe PrestigestarringChristian BaleandHugh Jackman, Jonathan completed the first draft ofThe Dark Knight. When he came back, Jonathan said,“Chris convinced himself that ‘okay we’re going to take this gamble we’ll go back and do it one more time.’”He added“some beautiful ideas to the script.”But Jonathan was terrified over some parts of the original script.
“I was actually kind of terrified at some of the things that had been left in that script because they felt a little a little edgy for what we knew had to be a PG-13 Batman movie and so it was one of those sort of be careful what you wish for moments.”
