Rewatched the Dark Knight Trilogy again by the last film what really stuck out was what Commissioner Gordon mentioned about the idea of“Escalation” at the end of Batman begins. Gordon mentions a very real world concept about how everytime law enforcement ups there game the criminals will always find a new way to top it and out do it ( See the bank Robbery that happened in LA where the robbers showed up with bullet piercing rounds and military grade weapons that actually forced the police to stand down and go get bigger guns).In this case Batman showed up in a pretty “average” criminal world and changed the game, subsequently inviting a person like the Joker to come along, if not outright inspire one.The point is, The Dark Knight film at least the first two start out so grounded, and rooted in reality. But by the third film what were literally witnessing is the bridge from a recognizably real world criminal landscape, up into something that actually resembles a “super hero world”.I just think it’s cool that the idea is we get to watch things unfold that show how a world can go from guys wearing makeshift balaclavas , duffle bags and using gasoline into a world where hovercrafts, bat cycles hi tech plane heights all start to look like the norm, and start to more closely resemble what we might see in the page of a comic book.Nolan’s aim was never to keep things strictly realistic, but rather use the idea of escalation to illustrate how things can go from normal to a heightened surreal world. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/34kQyOx
