In the coming weeks I will be assessing why Nolan's Batman trilogy will go down as the definitive intepretation of what it means to be a superhero. In the context of his films one cannot look at it simply as typical superhero fair. In Iron Man (2008) for instance, Tony Stark jokingly blurted out that for him to be a superhero is unlikely due to his list of 'character defects' etc. That was a vulgar interpretation of his role in society and this trailer dismisses that pretentious premise that one is considered a hero simply because one is all powerful and saves the day everytime. It is like all our world heroes: they have to devote themselves to an ideal which will see them break the shackles of the material world and become a legend. The artistry exhibited in this trailer is far superior to the so called superhero films that have been released this year.
