Description
Every writer of the Batman movies had either an extensive prior
knowledge of the Batman comic books or did an extensive research
before writing the script. Each and every one of the theatrical Batman
movies has numerous subtle and not so subtle nods and references to
the comic books and reveals an impressive knowledge of the comic book
back catalog.
One of the last posts focused on differences and deviations from the
comic books from each movie, listing the number of things which were
changed to fit the story more and serve it better (http://
gothamalleys.blogspot.com/2011/03/list-of-changes-in-movies.html).
This time we'll focus on all the references and similarities to
showcase the writers' knowledge of the Batman stories and to point out
what was taken from the comics.

Interesting, and many of the images are striking, suggesting that at
least the directors and cinematographers researched the comics. But a
lot of the incidents and plot points are common to crime stories in
general -- e.g., looking it up in the computer, or a prisoner
threatening to escape. Given a large enough body of work it's possible
to find parallels for almost anything. Look how easily people use the
Bible to "prove" their prejudices.
