THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) | The Dark Knight Trilogy, Part II

<p>Following the success of BATMAN BEGINS, Christopher Nolan took a slight detour (to make THE PRESTIGE!) before ultimately returning to the franchise for what would become not only his most popular film yet, but one that proved to be an important milestone in the history of comic book films.</p> <p>In this episode, we'll discuss the evolution of the second film in the series, from David S. Goyer's original story ideas to the final film, and the iconic turn by the late Heath Ledger as The Joker.</p>   <p>Here is the Lessons From The Screenplay video that we reference in this episode: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFUKeD3FJm8'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFUKeD3FJm8</a></p> <p>Here is the Canadian Lad video that we reference in this episode: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ln1LQXYBJo'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ln1LQXYBJo</a></p> <p>Here is the Film Theorists video we reference in this episode: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjPcIh1fVNg'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjPcIh1fVNg</a></p> <p>Coming Up:</p> <ul><li> <p><a href='https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-dark-knight-rises'>THE DARK KNIGHT RISES</a> (2012)</p> </li> </ul> <p>Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by <a href='https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj8487dns3rAhXut1kKHWjpBtIQFjAAegQIBRAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fslasherfilmfestivalstrategy.bandcamp.com%2F&usg=AOvVaw3qXZCJdUiLORfY6MbQrpo5'>Slasher Film Festival Strategy</a>.</p> <p>This episode was written, produced and edited by Gary Horne & Justin Bishop, with special thanks to Todd Davis.</p> <p>Visit our website for episode archives, blogs and more: <a href='http://cinemashock.net/'>http://cinemashock.net</a></p> <p>Follow us:</p> <p><a href='http://twitter.com/cinema_shock'>twitter.com/cinema_shock</a></p> <p><a href='http://facebook.com/cinemashocknet'>facebook.com/cinemashocknet</a></p> <p><a href='ht
