"To me, each film is a different genre," Nolan said, about the movies starring Christian Bale as Batman. "They tend to be defined by the villain."
Nolan explained that he saw 2005's "Batman Begins" as a straightforward origins story. "The villain (Liam Neeson's Henri Ducard) is an appropriate adversary," Nolan said. "He's a mentor-turned-enemy." Next, came the second movie in 2008 with Heath Ledger. "'The Dark Knight' for me was always a crime drama in the mold of a Michael Mann film. The Joker was a terrorist, an agent of chaos set loose." Finally, in 2012's the grand finale, "The Dark Knight Rises," co-starring Tom Hardy, Nolan envisioned "this historical epic. Bane as a militarist foe helped that."
