It may have come as a bit of a surprise that Nolan's next film, which has gained acclaim for his original and intelligent suspense, was a superhero movie. Nowadays, Marvel movies are selecting talented Toshihide directors from all over the world, but looking at director Nolan's career path, there are concerns whether he will be able to demonstrate his talent as a writer in a superhero movie that will appeal to a wider age group. must have existed among many people. However, as a result, the dark and serious image of the hero became an icon that symbolized the era, leading to the historical masterpiece `` The Dark Knight '' (2008).


To briefly outline the flow of Batman movies leading up to this work, ``Batman & Robin: Mr. Freeze Strikes Back'' (1997) was a failure, and the studio was cautious about making new films. Director Darren Aronofsky and others were subsequently hired, but the project fell through. After many twists and turns, they finally settled on a reboot directed by Nolan. Tim Burton's version also contains many dark elements, and it seems that the studio and the creators had a common understanding of ``creating a realistic and serious tone.''


However, the new Batman movie created by director Nolan is a coming-of-age drama in which the son of a powerful man overcomes the trauma and fear of having his parents killed and tries to protect Gotham City, which his late father left behind. Its history is close to dramatic. This was carried over into the subsequent ``Batman Trilogy'', and the result is an elegant atmosphere with a literary essence. This is probably a credit to director Nolan, who has continued to create intellectual works. The solemn music by James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer also contributes to the building of ``decency.''


A group of talented actors such as Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman come together. Ken Watanabe is also participating from Japan. Director Nolan reportedly showed the crew a copy of `` Blade Runner '' (1982) before filming this film, which also stars Rutger Hauer.
