Batman: The Dark Knight Trilogy by Christopher Nolan
With Batman begins (2005), The dark Knight (2008) e The Dark Knight Rises (2012), Christopher Nolan offered an excellent trilogy. Above all, the director established a style in the superhero film genre with a more realistic approach anchored in his time. The dark Knight it is also closer to a thriller and the filmmaker has never denied the influence of a similar work Heat by Michael Mann on his film.
Jake Gyllenhaal replaces Christian Bale
These three feature films allowed Christopher Nolan to gain prominence in the Hollywood industry, but also to Cristiano Balla become one of the rare faces of Bruce Wayne. Nevertheless, the actor wasn’t the only choice by Christopher Nolan and the screenwriter David S. Goyer. The latter, involved in the entire trilogy, recently spoke on the topic in Josh Horowitz’s podcast.
The author reveals in this interview who one of the actors considered to play Batman was Jake Gyllenhaal.
We talked about all kinds of things… A lot of people had auditioned for the role and I had defended Gyllenhaal. But Gyllenhaal is fantastic, and Christian Bale is fantastic too, so who knows what he would have been like.
The choice of Jake Gyllenhaal would therefore have been quite special if the rest of the casting had been the same for subsequent films. Because let’s remember it The dark Knight, the actor’s sisterMaggie Gyllenhaal plays Bruce Wayne’s childhood sweetheart, Rachel Dawes.
Leonardo DiCaprio as the Riddler
In addition to the interpreter of Bruce Wayne, choices had to be made Batman’s enemies in movies. And right from the writing stage, the authors had to think about which famous comic book villain they would use. It was also necessary to have to do study pressure who, according to David S. Goyer, has this tendency to think first of “who will be the villain of the next film and build the story around that“.
Christopher Nolan was totally against it. Because that’s not a good way to tell a story. Let’s do it in a very naturalistic way. Let’s see what kind of story we want to tell. The themes we want to explore with Bruce. And then we find a villain to put in there.
After The dark Knight and the incredible presence ofHeath Ledger as the Jokerone of the Warner Bros. executives would have made several suggestions, in particular regarding the Riddler (the Riddler) and insisting on this Leonardo Dicaprio embodies it. A possibility that David S. Goyer had already mentioned in the past, but on which this time he therefore focused.
Bane’s choice is influenced by Rocky 3
Thus, as explained above, Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer “don’t work that way“, and so do they he politely rejected this proposal. But it is Ruin who became the villain of The Dark Knight Rises.
An obvious choice for David S. Goyer, as the film was constructed as a type of Rocky 3. It was therefore necessary to have a character who was “simply a brute” in front of Batman. Then Bane, brought by a solid Tom Hardy.
Instead, Leonardo DiCaprio played Dominic Cobb Start (2010) by Christopher Nolan. And the Riddler didn’t reappear on the big screen with The Batman (2022). Paul Dano becomes the new face of Ed Nigma after Jim Carrey Batman forever (1995) or Cory Michael Smith in the series Gotham (from 2014 to 2019).
