After examining The Dark Knight a little more closely I found that there was another scene that was interesting and helped define the sense of justice that I wanted to show conflict with. It's a scene in a prison cell, where Batman actively is beating up on the Joker, who laughs knowing that the hero will not cross certain lines(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jane6C4rIwc)
One line that sticks out is "They're only as good as the world allows them to be." The conversation in this interrogation is immaculate with dialogue. The Joker is something interesting and I think that Heath Ledger's can be a perfect model for the dialogue and ruthlessness that I want my villain to have. The camera work in this scene is also interesting, because the same high angles that gave the Punisher power in the argument with Daredevil, are used here when framing Batman, even though the context of the conversation shows that he has none of the power in the scenario. I think this choice was interesting and one that can be looked into more carefully when I start storyboarding Menace. Here's an example.
But overall I think this is another way to play with the conflicts that are within the pieces. This conflict is shown in the trailer when Bruce says that he knows what he needs to become, as well as hinting at the scene mentioned in the previous post, with Joker asking to be hit in the middle of the road. Overall I need to figure out where the story beats will go and how they would fit into a trailer for this kind of darker film(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXeTwQWrcwY)
