Dark Knight trilogy → The Dark Knight Trilogy – The has always been used in this title. Charles Essie (talk) 17:30, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

• Comment But is the T in trilogy a capital or lowercase? Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:49, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
• Support, since the title does seem to always have "The" in it. Also, "Trilogy" appears to be capitalized on the sales pages for the Warner Bros. store and Amazon.com [1] [2]. Calathan (talk) 08:44, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
• Support per nomination. Fortdj33 (talk) 12:53, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
• Support per Calathan. Sock (tock talk) 18:23, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
• Support, in this specific case. Normally, I would say this is fannish overcapitalization. If there were no actual work called "The Dark Knight Trilogy", just a trilogy of separate works we refer to as the Dark Knight trilogy, then capitalizing "the" and "trilogy" in the phrase would just be promotionalism. It also would violate our naming conventions; we don't do this with any form of serial work, whether the word in question is "trilogy" or "series" or whatever. An exception can be made for collective works that have been titled this way by their creators/publishers, and published in single volumes (box sets, whatever, per the medium) under that exact title; cf. The Alexandria Quartet. This does appear to be the case here, per nom. This mustn't be used as some kind of precedent to overcapitalize cases were the fan base or journalists or whatever refer to something as the X trilogy or series, but we don't have it actually published with that title.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  09:27, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
• Move to The Dark Knight trilogy - there's no problem with the nomination in terms of including "The" but I don't think the "Trilogy" should be capitalised or regarded as part of a proper noun. Yes, the box set is branded that way on Amazon, but if you look on the cover of the DVD itself, "TRILOGY" is clearly marked in smaller text and separate/below from the main title of the DVD, which is "The Dark Knight". Also, this article is not about the DVD box set, is about the films themselves, which are a trilogy, lower case. This is just as we have an article called The Godfather (film series), not The Godfather DVD Collection, as Amazon would.[3]  — Amakuru (talk) 11:49, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

• What about the Blu-ray Discs? Trilogy is given the same size font as The Dark Knight on both BD box sets. Charles Essie (talk) 21:42, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

• Support and actually the name is with a capital T in trilogy they advertised it as such if I can recall. Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 00:30, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Production Crew conten?

wouldn't it be more easy to put a section production crew of the trilogy like other film franchise pages; you know a table with photography director, executive producer, editor etc? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.220.66.117 (talk) 00:25, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Recurring Cast/Crew vs. Starring Cast/Crew

Looks like we've been going back and forth on this one. Don't want an edit war. Let's come to a consensus. I'm open to either or, but I know prefer it as recurring (characters who appear in more than one film) while others preferring it to be limited exclusively to starring cast. If I had to choose, my vote goes towards Recurring since this is about the entire trilogy, while starring seems to make more sense in the individual films' articles. Thoughts?

Peacemaker67, though this discussion was long thought to be closed, I guess it's been revived. I think the section should stay true to its name, i.e. have only recurring characters. What do you think? Kailash29792 (talk) 05:47, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

The way it is right now is perfect, it includes the characters and actors who were in the main billing in each film. It seems pointless to put the Mayor and Commissioner Loeb in there as they barely played much of a part in the trilogy while ignoring The Joker, Talia and Bane. I also wish that Kailash would stop sending me abusive messages calling my edits "vandalism". He is equally as guilty in this so called "edit war". Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CE9A:CA90:3DE0:8D4B:313F:A721 (talk) 02:21, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

2602:306:CE9A:CA90:3DE0:8D4B:313F:A721, those messages I sent you were automated messages created by this encyclopedia, and I don't think it is in their nature to be "abusive". Kailash29792 (talk) 03:40, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Other media (Should Batman Gotham Knight and Batman Begins (videogame) be mentioned within the article?)

I found out this Batman: Gotham Knight animated film ,was originally released as set within the Dark Knight trilogy continuity, as a loose bridge between Batman Begins and Dark Knight. It's not cannon in any way, but I do think, it's existence deserves to be mentioned here. Should we mention it's existence on the article? Also the Batma Begins videogame Rosvel92 (talk) 22:01, 20 August 2016 (UTC)Rosvel92
