10 Movie Trilogies That Are Absolutely Perfect

Christopher Nolan's influential magnum opus, The Dark Knight trilogy changed the face of comic book movies and cemented Nolan as one of the greatest directors of his generation.

Comprised of three radically different but masterful films, the trilogy charts the origins of Batman (Christian Bale), the villainy of Gotham City and the personal tragedies of Bruce Wayne, as the Caped Crusader struggles to hold onto peace and order.

A menacing and deliciously bleak story of innocence lost, vengeance and the evil of man, the series peaked with its second instalment, The Dark Knight, but knocked it out of the park without fault with Batman Begins (often criminally overlooked) and The Dark Knight Rises, which served as a daring conclusion to the franchise.

With the added greatness of its impossibly packed cast, which includes Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart and an Oscar-winning Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight trilogy is about as perfect and must-see as they come.
