The Nolan Batman movies are absolutely risible in retrospect. It's hard to believe how seriously everyone took them back then.

  They’re good entertainment, not a documentary haha

  Not a single person in the world took any of them "seriously." They're blockbuster movies about a comic book.

    Hah. People absolutely took them seriously and still do. They are pitched as if they're serious important art about issues. People discussed it like it was King Lear.

    I mean, one actor took their role so seriously they locked themselves up in hotel room for a month in isolation to prepare for their role as Joker. Many people in film took it seriously. Just because a piece is fictional or imaginative doesn't mean it can't be taken seriously

      You're conflating an actor taking their role seriously to a viewer taking fiction seriously.

        Film critics, viewers, media writers, online video essayists, etc all took the films very seriously
