The Dark Knight Rises draws together recognisable comic-story material and reshapes it for a self-contained feature-film narrative. Start with Knightfall (Batman #491–500), then compare it with No Man’s Land and The Dark Knight Returns. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
