I always pictured it as a paradox.

Caeser gave birth to the Planet of The Apes but he was conceived by (Cornelius & Zira) the eventual result of his revolution.

At the end of 'Battle for' they show humans and Apes living together in peace, that is obviously different from the status of relations in the original, but i assumed things changed over time and humans became slaves again and disowned.

Dr Zaius did mention that Apes used to keep Humans as Pets, not too dissimiliar from their role in 'Battle For'
 
The timeline in the old films is messed up beyond belief. Can you imagine if they released them today? :lol
 
always pictured it as a paradox.
And what is history of mankind but a repetitive paradox?
Who we are but animals without instincts yet with an insatiable boundless curiosity?

Those movies (original included) weren't great but the idea of Pierre Boulle's novel is there.
 
On it's own? Yes and I love every second of it.
But unfortunately it started one messed up franchise.

Wish they did truthful adaptation of the novel instead of "Rise" lollipop.

Gary Oldman Reveals Major Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Details

Warning: Potential spoilers for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Details have been light on 20th Century Fox's upcoming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. What little we did know is that it picks up a decade after 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes and once again features enhanced apes at odds against people. In a recent interview with MTV, however, Gary Oldman dropped some new details about both his character and the plot of the film which you can check out below. Once again, potential spoiler warning.

"He's the sort of designated leader if you will of this community of those that were lucky enough to survive the simian flu, the disease, and then the ensuing social uprising from it....So they're sort of survivors, and he was a police officer, so he's more of the kind of elected leader of this (group). And they need power and there's a power station and some of my people go out to see if it's operational, if it's still out there, and then they discover that there's a whole community of apes living there. We believed they were all completely fire-bombed and wiped out...He's experienced a great loss, personally, and there's only one answer for him and that's to wipe them out. I see him as a sort of the hero of the piece."

Oldman also revealed that director Matt Reeves wanted to further explore the human dynamic of the film before bringing the focus fully to the apes, which we could see in the already planned follow-up to "Dawn."

"Matt Reeves was more interested in not just keeping the franchise alive but he wanted to make it more of a human story, he wanted to explore what had happened and keep it more focused to the human side of it before the story becomes the 'Planet of the Apes' as we know it from the first one, from the original."
 
How spoilerish is that spoiler? I'm tempted to just drop off the grid for this movie. I want to be surprised.
