Jokers origin and Ras Lazurus pit were NOT silly at all, Nolan just felt like he wanted to try something different, or "cut short" the origin story. Nothing wrong with that. The essence of the character was still the same. Nolan is a good writer. Thats all there is to it. At the end of the day u still have a movie about a guy that goes out at night DRESSED AS A FLYING RAT, leaping from rooftops and throwing bat-a-rangs at random thugs. Like any good comic book writer, he sold us on the character. It wasnt the realism that made the movie so good. It was the writing and the character. Same reason i liked The Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-man 2, The Crow, X-men 1 and 2, ect, ect, despite the total lack of realism in all those movies. |
