From the horses mouth so to speak.....
Horowitz: Batman Begins dealt with a range of themes from revenge to how we confront fear. What themes will you be exploring in The Dark Knight?
Nolan: I suppose in loose terms I can say it’s about things having to get worse before they get better.Horowitz: It’s that note the first film ends on of escalation?Nolan: Very much.
****i think we all guessed this as loads of people were naming the sequel 'Batman Escalation'
Horowitz: Is there anything to be inferred from the name you’ve chosen for this film, The Dark Knight?
Nolan: Ultimately yes. [Laughs] But I’ll leave that for people to infer.
*****^^this kinda confused me how are they going to infer this into the movie, does it mean that the film is going to be darker like previously suggested, or even that batman persona will become darker to cope with whats goin on in his city.
Horowitz: This is the cryptic portion of our chat.
Nolan: Yeah. [Laughs] The title has been chose very specifically. It’s quite important to the film.
Horowitz: I take it [the Joker] will be less Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson than the Joker we saw portrayed in a comic like The Killing Joke?
Nolan: Yes. I would certainly point to The Killing Joke but I also would point very much to the first two appearances of the Joker in the comic. If you look at where the Joker comes from there’s a very clear direction that fits what we’re doing very well.
*****^^ see this is really good to hear, sounds like were going to get a really faithful version of the joker, but can people please post some pics of the early appearences that nolan mentions.Also what i took from the interview (as breif as it was) is what he said about the title, i remember bale saying ''nothing is set in stone, at this point the title could change'' but with it being what sounds like a major part of the film it sounds unlikely to change (just as the title 'begins' was important to the the movie)love to hear your feed back thanks in advance.
