Thanks, bean. I think Nolan is genuinely excellent at writing stripped down scripts. Which is hilarious when you consider how long they are. One of the innumerable reasons why I can't write fiction is that my mind defaults to legalities and plausibilities when writing, yet I know full well how stories work and what you can get away with just by presenting it as a fact. Nolan is excellent at sticking to the point. I mean, watch Batman Begins again - the entire movie is people discussing fear, how Bruce uses it to help versus how nasty people use it for evil. That he used a second string villain no-one had heard about - Scarecrow - stems from that.

I accept that my blogs don't tend to flow too well, and move on. More pending.
