The Batman movies were the best of the DC movies and worst of the Marvel (Marvel sucked). The films were part of a trilogy that included Man of Steel & Superman Returns. A reboot was made in 2012 due to Nolan’s departure after The Dark Knight Rises. The content was established by Nolan and the trilogy was completed by J. McQuarrie and director Zack Snyder. All three films were based on the Batman comic books written by Bob Kane. The Dark Knight Rises is a 2012 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan, who co-wrote the screenplay with David S. Goyer, from a story by Nolan and Goyer. He also produced, while Emma Thomas-Lloyd served as executive producer under her production company LightBox Entertainment but had no involvement with the writing of the film itself.

The entire main cast of the trilogy is present in the film including the main character himself, Batman. The sequential order of the cast members is:
The film is not based on a comic, but instead a story. The story is set in the future after 2032 in Gotham City, where the Joker has been defeated by Batman and half of his evil plans have failed (the other half succeeded). The new villain, Kahn, has taken over most of Gotham and becomes every bit as powerful as Batman himself. Kahn kidnaps Lucius Fox and then goes on to kill Bruce’s girlfriend, Julie Madison. Bruce uses his time machine to go back in time and get rid of Kahn before he can kill Julie. In doing so, however, Bruce is now creating an alternate history where the Joker succeeds in everything he plans.
