In 2005, Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins was released and effectively introduced "dark and gritty" into every movie executive's inbox. When the trilogy concluded in 2012, it was widely regarded as one of the greatest comic book adaptations and movie trilogies of all time. Imitation would follow, as existing franchises like James Bond and Fantastic Four attempted to re-shape their iconic characters using elements of The Dark Knight Trilogy's framework.
