I liked the tone of the Nolan films. Although it was "grounded",I didnt feel like it had to be if you get what I mean. If the Joker had pulled out some chattering teeth that were actually explosives. I think that it would have fit the character. Just wouldnt have matched the seriousness of the dialogue.
Basically I dont feel Joker or Bane were portrayed as "too realistic" or grounded even. So Bane pumping the venom steroid wouldnt have seemed out of place either. Aside from the script of course.
Not grounding the charscters leaves you some wiggle room. The new Riddler? Too grounded. New Penguin? Too grounded. A little bit of cartonnishness should always be there. But I think some people automatically equate that to "campy".
I agree. Although......Joker was executed perfectly. Best villain to date imo. Heath out-acted Bale in every scene. He was really menacing and should've won an oscar.
But Batman has always reminded me of Dıck Tracy meets the Maxx but with gadgets. Should be a person psychologically fụcked up and borderline suicidal because he's too smart.
In fact, people that resonate with this character should see it that way. The reason why he doesn't use guns is because he really doesn't want to live anymore and he takes his stress out by pummeling nıggas but some part of him still has a bit of humanity that prevents him from going over the edge like Joker so he chooses to keep that nıgga alive.
The cape and ears is because even though he knows he looks goofy, he wants to put a face to the internal monster that he let's out on the criminals of Gotham....especially the ones that took his fam.
