Movies Like The Fire Rises: The Creation and Impact of The Dark Knight Trilogy
2013·76 min·Dir. Jason Hillhouse·★ 7.9
Documentary
This feature-length documentary delves into the trilogy, opening with the inspiration and vision for the new Batman films and inching its way toward the Rises finale and the culmination of nearly a decade of creative blood, sweat and tears. Candid, thoughtful and extensive, and comprised of revealing behind-the-scenes footage, countless interviews, audition tapes (with Christian Bale and Cillian Murphy doning the cape and cowl), and a narrative grip and momentum all its own, it leaves no stone unturned.
Ranked by shared directors, cast, themes, genre, and era — not just generic recommendations.
