![]() ![]() In many ways, Ra’s al Ghul is one of the most important parts of The Dark Knight trilogy and his impact on Bruce as his mentor and his enemy is still felt in The Dark Knight Rises. In The Dark Knight, the Joker is on a quest to break the identity Bruce had built with Batman by challenging every philosophical underpinning instilled inside him. We see his physical and mental training with the League of Shadows, where Ra’s al Ghul created and molded Bruce to become a warrior while helping him channel his guilt and anger at the loss of his parents. Nolan spends quite some time on the early life of Bruce, where we see him learn the lessons he would eventually carry as Batman. We start with the death of his parents and the consequences that has on his psychology as a young boy. Nolan brilliantly weaves together the thread lines of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight to create an ending fitting for the most complex superhero in the medium.īatman Begins has all the elements needed from a Bruce Wayne origin. What makes The Dark Knight Rises special is the totality of Bruce Wayne’s story over the course of the trilogy. Ultimately, the shadow of its predecessor, namely Heath Ledger’s legendary performance as the crown prince of crime, made it an incredibly hard act to follow. The Dark Knight Rises is the most underrated film in Christopher Nolan’s incredible trilogy. ![]()
