I can agree with that. And, truth-be-told, I much prefer Nolan's gritty and grounded take on the subject matter than any previous film iterations, by far. Taking Batman and those characters and making crime dramas more akin to "Heat" or "Serpico" was a brilliant creative decision, and Nolan does it very well. However, some people make it seem as if he's re-invented the art of filmmaking or something. I've even seen a post (can't remember it was here) from someone saying that "TDK shows that Nolan is already one of the Top 3 filmmakers of all-time." Wows.
Well he's changed the face of how a comic film can be done and
taken more seriously. Nolan has definitely become one of my personal
favorites over the years. I wouldn't say he's the of the top 3, yet,
but he has the potential for it.
I like to think of them as a "realistic fantasy". They're more down to earth, and easier to relate to...but not too real that they become downright boring. Its escapism.
Well Nolan has called it heightened reality, which is just as you've stated realistic fantasy. Which is why I don't understand why many people believe its
still realism in the absolute sense. Which pretty much means that even the more fantasy geared characters such as Robin, Freeze and Clayface are not out of the question.
