The Dark Knight trilogy completes this task, while these Daniel Craig flicks insist on simultaneously existing as their own series while still carrying the torch for the Bond franchise that began with Sean Connery in Dr. It’s up to the audience to disassociate any prior knowledge from any of the past movies. These aren’t a trilogy like Christopher Nolan’s recent Batman movies, but they are similar in that they both attempt to entirely recreate a story with protagonists and antagonists we all know. This was how things used to be done in the Bond universe before the current Daniel Craig movies.
The double-O franchise used to be like The Simpsons, where the characters never age while time in the outside world carries on. This may be more chinks in his armor than any Bond audience is comfortable with. Cyberwarfare and terrorism at MI6 headquarters in London pulls him back, but now he’s damaged goods: out of shape, injured, can’t shoot and needs to dry out. Despite an olive-skinned inamorata kissing his shoulder in bed as he mulls over his future, he can’t stay out of the game. After a near-death experience at the hands of his own crew, he’s drowning in drink on some unnamed beach bar surrounded by cheering men as he takes a random shot of liquor with a provoked scorpion on his hand. At the beginning of Skyfall, we’re shown Bond’s unraveling built up over the past two movies.
