The Big Picture While Batman Begins was a surprising critical success, its 2008 sequel The Dark Knight was a cultural juggernaut that changed the comic book genre forever. Christopher Nolan’s epic Batman story proved that superhero films could engage with complex ideas about reactions to terrorism, escalating violence, political corruption, and the surveillance state.
The Dark Knight Rises PG-13ActionCrimeThrillerSuperhero Eight years after the Joker's reign of chaos, Batman is coerced out of exile with the assistance of the mysterious Selina Kyle in order to defend Gotham City from the vicious guerrilla terrorist Bane. Dickens’ novel examined how it could be possible for one city to have two classes of citizens with completely different experiences. A Tale of Two Cities focuses on the experiences of both a wealthy family and an English barrister in the years leading up to the Reign of Terror, in which revolutionaries stormed Paris and executed members of the upper class. Jonathan Nolan cited the sociopolitical themes of A Tale of Two Cities as a primary influence on The Dark Knight Rises.
A Tale of Two Cities has been adapted to the big screen several times, beginning with a silent film in 1911. However, a 1935 adaptation starring Ronald Colman as Carton and Donald Woods as Darnay is perhaps the most acclaimed version, and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.
