The Dark Knight 12 Film Clips for The Dark Knight on iesb.net

[The Guard]

I'm talking about the tone of the fights. BB's were more brawl-like initially. There was a progression throughout that film and I suspect (from what I've seen) there's been some change coming up to and in TDK too. Everything from camera setups to Bale's physique and the costume indicate some changes in how Batman moves and fights. That's a progression to me, and certainly and arc from the all in brawl Wayne had at the start of BB.

To a point, the tone has changed, and the nature of the shots has obviously been altered a bit, but he's still using very similar moves to what he used in say, the Arkham fight sequences in that "break in" clip.
