The Dark Knight Rises
Summary
The often - overlookedfourth installing of Christopher Nolan’sDark Knight Trilogyis subtly referenced inThe Dark Knight come up . The critically - acclaimed trilogy gave looker a relatively realistic take on the Batman mythos , exhibit Bruce Wayne ’s process of create his Batman persona and pitting him against grounded version of classic Batman foes . The Dark Knightfranchise is relatively low , with only a few spinoff holding , such as novel and TV game adaptations and unrecorded - action trunks that are included as extras onThe Dark Knight’sDVD release , but the animated filmBatman : Gotham Knight , serves as the trilogy ’s unofficial fourth episode .
Gotham Knightcame out in 2008 , shortly before the theatrical release ofThe Dark Knight , and is a canonical part of Nolan’sBatmanstory . Set betweenBatman BeginsandThe Dark Knight , Gotham Knightcontinues Batman ’s story through six vignette , with different creative squad of artists and writer working on each short . Gotham Knightfurther grow the traditional knowledge of Nolan’sDark Knightuniverse andmakes the picture of Christian Bale ’s Batman even more robust , showing antecedently unobserved percentage of his training and pitting him against new villain .

Batman : Gotham Knightbrings the classic DC baddie / anti - hero Deadshot intoThe Dark Knight Trilogy .
Rewatching the Dark Knight Trilogy ’s lesser - jazz animated lineament is quite an adventure , as there were a few thing I clear look out it in 2024 .
John Blake Gets A Sarcastic Killer Croc Reference
Early on inThe Dark Knight Rises , Commissioner Gorden gets fascinate by Bane ’s henchmen , though he narrowly escape with serious wounds . Detective John Blake – the trilogy ’s Robin equivalent – rescues him , taking note of hand of his warning about an army beneath Gotham City . When discussing his findings with Bruce Wayne , Blake take note thathis Superior at the GCPD sarcastically asked him if he found any “ giant alligators ” in response . While this could easily be written off as a simple joke , given the events ofGotham Knight , this comes off more as a reference to Killer Croc .
Gotham Knightintroduced a new loop of Killer Croc – born Waylan Jones – to theDark Knighttrilogy . This looping of Croc is incredibly potent and has a reptilian appearance due to a rarefied skin condition , but nevertheless lacks superpowers . Appearing in the vignette “ In Darkness Dwells , ” Killer Croc is an enforcer for Scarecrow , in brief battling Batman in Gotham ’s sewers . Croc evades seizure by the end of the sketch , take his whereabouts unknown by the event ofThe Dark Knight surface . With this in mind , Blake ’s superiors in the GCPD were most probable truly referencing Killer Crocwith their remark .
Scarecrow’s First Kangaroo Court Was In Gotham Knight
The Dark Knight Rises was the last time viewer saw Jonathan Crane / Scarecrow , but what happened to him after the events of the movie ?
“ In Darkness Dwells ” find out Scarecrow – still recuperate from Rachel Dawes ’s taser flak fromBatman start – constitute a criminal gang in the sewers of Gotham City . crucify with the societal outreach programs of Cardinal O’Fallon deny him likely henchmen , Scarecrow has Killer Croc kidnap him and work him to the sewers , where Scarecrow holds a sham trial for O’Fallon , intending to execute him before Batman ’s intervention . divertingly , Scarecrow seems to have take a liking to this practice , as he continues to preside over a kangaroo lawcourt upon being freed by Bane . Only this time , his executions were far more successful .
How Christopher Nolan Ensured Gotham Knight Would Fit His Universe
The originative squad ofGotham Knight , notably , had a bombastic degree of freedom when make their several vignette , but the film did get some creative input from Christopher Nolan himself . According to co - director Bruce Timm , the original designing for Killer Croc gave him a tail , which Nolan necessitate to be removed . Nolan wanted the film to match the ground take on Batman seen in the live - action motion picture , and this was his only celebrated request forGotham Knight .
TheGotham Knightvignette thatThe Dark Knight Risesreferences – “ In Darkness Dwells ” – was pen by David S. Goyer . Goyer also co - write the stories of all threefilms inThe Dark Knighttrilogy , so it is meet that the vignette is the most nearly tied to the live - action motion picture . Goyer might have also include the two reference to the vignetteinThe Dark Knight Rises , reinforcingGotham Knight’splace in theDark Knighttrilogy .
