Nolan set the bar for action films with series like The Dark Knight trilogy, but despite efforts to recreate that success, others struggled.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Since Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy, many other action movies have attempted to recreate the magic that made the series a success; unfortunately, most have also failed.
9 RoboCop 2014's RoboCop was an attempt to reboot the popular earlier film and franchise from 1987. It achieved moderate success with mixed reviews but a decent return at the box office, however, the project may have had a more accessible age rating than the 1987 version, but it clearly drew inspiration from The Dark Knight trilogy which was at the height of its success around the period when this project was being developed.
6 Star Trek Into Darkness Similarly, Star Trek had always focused on colorful stories of exploration and human curiosity, occasionally straying into darker territory with villains like the Borg, but largely staying upbeat and hopeful. The second entry in the modern Star Trek film saga focused on the famous villain Khan, but his characteristics appear to have drawn clear inspiration from The Dark Knight's antagonist, the Joker.
4 Kick-Ass Inspired by the success of grittier hero films in general such as The Dark Knight trilogy and Watchmen, studios look to other grounded hero stories with darker themes to adapt into film. Kick-Ass was adapted from a comic series by comic legends Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.
