And then the rumblings of discontent began as its flaws became noticeable. When it arrived in cinemas in 2012 it was met, at first, with cautious praise. The third film, then, had a lot to live up to. It was a superhero movie that people who didn't like superheroes could enjoy.
Batman Begins was a pulp crime thriller with a dash of shadowy weirdness, and The Dark Knight upped the stakes by introducing a radical new screen Joker (the much-missed Heath Ledger) and by making a grittier, more grounded movie. It's predecessors had reinvented superheroes at the movies, providing an edgier alternative to the X-Men and Spider-Man franchises. The final instalment of Christopher Nolan's grandiose Dark Knight trilogy had an enormous burden of hype resting on its cowled shoulders. It's easy to forget just how much was riding on this movie.
