Christopher Nolan is finally an Oscar winner after years and years of simply being nominated for his masterpieces. Whether it isOppenheimerorInterstellar,he has a way of grasping the audience’s attention like no one else. One of his most renowned works also happens to beThe Dark Knighttrilogy.
Not only did he work extremely hard on it, but the payoff was so well received by fans that it is still regarded as one of the best Batman projects ever.

He worked tremendously on them, and fans gave the trilogy all their love. So much so, that they constantly keep asking the director to return for one last installment if not more. Bruce Timm had some interesting opinions of the same, ones that may not be so wrong.
Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Had a Specific Audience
In an interview withThink McFly Think,Bruce Timmtalked about what he feltThe Dark Knighttrilogy was deeply missing. When it comes to creative entertainment, an audience is expected to be more generalized than specific.Christopher Nolanstepped away from that idea. His Batman trilogy instead had muchdarker thematic concerns.
“I loved the The Dark Knight, but it wasn’t really intended for kids, at least not young kids anyway. I think a lot of the time now we tend to forget that super hero movies and these characters biggest audience is the younger kids.”
Timm explained how the films were too focused on a grown-up audience as compared to other superhero movies. The themes it followed, the scenes it depicted, and the characters that were portrayed werefar too complex for a younger audience’s comprehension.

He believed that had the film taken into consideration its other audiences, it could have performed even better, seeing that a majority of its fans are younger kids.
Bruce Timm Always Keeps the Audience in Mind
Bruce Timm admitted during his interview with Think McFly Think that he always takes into consideration other audiences. A movie is not watched by a specific audience on a daily basis. As such, superhero films in particular find themselves being enjoyed by a much younger audience.
“I always try to keep in the back of my own mind that these movies or shows are going to be generally watched by a younger age group. When I’m creating something, I do like to do things that I know I’d enjoy, or people my age would enjoy, but I have to remember to not make things too complicated or serious to the point that our biggest audience isn’t able to garner interest.”
His goal always remains to keep in mind those audiences and fans, making sure that everyone gets to enjoy the movies and shows without restrictions. He added that although Timm likes to add elements that people his age would understand, he chooses not to disregard others.
