The Entire Dark Knight Trilogy Story Finally Gets Explained

From the hero’s origins to centuries of injustice, the Dark Knight trilogy possesses a gritty yet fascinating world. Here, we’ll explore the history of Bruce Wayne and his more realistic rogues’ gallery, and how three films made us believe a man could, you know, not fly, but do wingsuit stuff.

In a chaotic world, it can be comforting to imagine that there’s a singular force behind history’s most horrifying events, organizations so powerful and secretive that they can hide in plain sight while pulling the metaphorical strings of a society.

In the Dark Knight trilogy, those theories would be entirely well-founded, since an enigmatic group known as the League of Shadows has been molding civilization for more than a thousand years. Their theory is that when a great nation becomes too large and decadent, it needs to be purged like an overgrown forest.

Secrecy is their calling card, but we’re given a few glimpses of the League’s actions over the centuries through their leader, Ra’s al Ghul.

His former claim likely refers to the attack on the Roman former capital in 410 AD by the Visigoths, an event that led in part to the fall of the Roman Empire. But Ra’s al Ghul further implies that the League retained power through the 14th and 17th centuries.

Around the early-to-mid-’80s, a young Ra’s al Ghul, then a mercenary for hire, falls in love with the daughter of a powerful warlord. The warlord orders that Ra’s is to be thrown into an infamous prison known only as “the Pit,” a deep hole in an unnamed but ancient country. The warlord’s daughter arranges to take the place of Ra’s in exchange for his freedom, never letting Ra’s or her father know. A few months later, also without Ra’s’ knowledge, she gives birth to his child, a girl named Talia. The girl’s mother is attacked and killed by fellow inmates a short time later, and Talia falls under the protection of Bane, a man who’s spent his entire life in the Pit.

As a young girl, Talia attains a legendary status among the Pit’s prisoners when she becomes the first inmate to successfully escape. While she climbs to freedom, Bane holds back the other enraged prisoners and is gruesomely disfigured in the process. Talia tracks down her father, now a high-level figure in the League of Shadows, and he goes to the Pit, executing the people responsible for his lover’s death and extracting Bane, recruiting him for the League and treating his injuries with the use of a mask that continually doses him with pain suppressants.
