Dark Knight Trilogy, The | 4K UHD+Blu-ray

To date, Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy is still one of the best things to come out of the Hollywood comic book boom of the last two decades. Nolan revitalized a Batman brand thoroughly mired in 90s blockbuster mediocrity. It's easy to forget with such a huge glut of superhero content out in today's market just how low this franchise had sunk by the time Joel Schumacher was done with it.

Drawing more in tone from works like Frank Miller's Dark Knight series in the 80s than the classic, campier Batman comics and shows, Nolan did an excellent job imagining Gotham as a dark, crime-riddled city in Batman Begins. That feeling was only enhanced by the Dark Knight, anchored by its electric performance from Heath Ledger as the Joker.

The Dark Knight Rises sees Nolan's expanding vision of the Batman universe become a bit too unwieldy and sprawling, but it's still a plenty entertaining thriller for fans of the first two films. A great trilogy for fans of the "Caped Crusader."
