Christopher Nolan Argued Against a Batman Villain's Iconic Look in 'The Dark Knight' Trilogy




"This is a world you'll never understand. And you always fear what you don't understand." So says Gotham City crime lord Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson) in Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan's gritty, reality-based Batman origin story. The Batman reboot reimagined DC's campy Caped Crusader with a decidedly darker tone than past films helmed by Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher, with the Following and Memento filmmaker delving deep into the psychology of Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne and his hero's journey. Adopting the fearsome symbol of a bat, Bruce Wayne would fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful: villains like Ra's al Ghul (Liam Neeson) and the fear-inducing Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy).
