Happy Birthday to the man behind The Dark Knight Trilogy - Christopher Nolan!

It's July 30 and a Throwback Thursday... And also the birthday of the man behind what would become one of the most definitive interpretations of Batman in film for all time.

Today, British-American director and visionary Christopher Nolan turns 45, and ten years ago he started a journey for one Bruce Wayne (as portrayed by Christian Bale) that would be chronicled in 3 films that make up "The Dark Knight Trilogy" and focus on a man becoming a legend and symbol for good and justice.

Today, those films still stand the test of time, and serve as the inspiration behind what is now being being forged as the DC Cinematic Universe. It's not a part of that world... But Nolan himself served as executive producer for the first foray in that universe with Zack Snyder's Man of Steel in 2013. The director's exploits and work also extend to action and sci-fi gems like Memento and Inception, but it goes without saying that his mark in the superhero film industry certainly left it's mark for all time.


Again, Happy Birthday Christopher Nolan!
