Not just for film buffs or comic book aficionados “The Art
and Making of the Dark Knight Trilogy” is a crisp and vibrant behind the scenes
look at the telling of Christopher Nolan's interpretation of the classic tale
of Batman. The images shown on the glossy pages will appeal to anyone remotely
interested in the saga. And the thoughtful attention to detail show how Nolan
and his staff created character driven scenes not only through the stunning previously unreleased photography but through
comprehensive explanation of concept as well.
It may be visually striking but this is a far cry from an
overpriced picture book for one’s coffee table. It truly explains the process
of executing not only the director’s vision but that of everyone involved. From
the casting to the construction of intricate sets to the designing of a fresh
yet functional Bat mobile, each challenge reveals just how much time, energy, and
resources went into producing such well received and widely respected films. 
This journey from concept to principle photography is a
spellbinding one. And the intrigue doesn’t stop there the chapter devoted to
each film’s marketing tells of the differences between promoting a film before
and after social networking leapt into the forefronts of moviegoers minds
everywhere. It also conveys the unique set of challenges and circumstances that
arrive when a studio suddenly has to deal with respectfully promoting a film
with a cast member that has passed away.
Despite the temptation to rely solely on the tools available
to today's digital filmmaker, Nolan was determined to keep things as authentic
as possible. Staying true to his vision by doing it for real infused a bit of
glamour into the film, each and every bit of that glamour can be found in
this tremendously impressive work of art. 
I've always been so excited watching the movie. It giyyves me a rush. Ask yourself, how is it possible to feel a rush in every action scene? How did they make this feel so alive. This book tells it all and you put it in a great perspective. Great review!!!!
