Gary Oldman is the unsung hero of this trilogy. In his review, he acknowledged that Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker was fantastic, but he felt that Oldman's performance as Commissioner Gordon was "the best performance in the film, by a mile. He isn't talked about as much as the other actors, but his performance was just as nuanced as anyone else's, shown particularly when he says, "He's the hero Gotham deserves but not the one it needs right now.
So, we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector.
Tom Hardy had his work cut out for him when he signed on to play the villain in The Dark Knight Rises as he had to find a way to top Ledger's performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight. Ledger had been acclaimed by critics, made into a cultural icon, and awarded a posthumous Oscar for his performance.
So, living up to that couldn't have been easy. Hardy's Bane voice and mask might have been a subject of ridicule among the fan base, but ultimately, he was far more memorable and iconic than most movie supervillains, if not as much as Ledger's Joker. Christian Bale's Batman and the divisiveness of his voice gave way to many lines that fans have well remembered, and this sits near the top of that list.
The trilogy is filled with profound, thought-provoking, inspiring, and fear-inducing quotes, but lines do not need to be any of those to be memorable. The snappiness of Batman's reply alone truly qualifies it as iconic. Origin stories don't usually make great movies because they can rarely get rewatched. It's hard to watch a superhero movie over and over again when the character isn't a superhero until the third act. These movies are fun the first time around but quickly become tedious.
Batman Begins doesn't have that problem. Being a Christopher Nolan movie, there's still plenty to enjoy in cinematography, editing, music, and production design, even if the relatively straightforward origin-story narrative becomes stale.
This Alfred quote calls back to an earlier scene in which Bruce's father tells him, "Why do we fall, Bruce? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up. The Joker, despite his psychological issues, also has a lot of wisdom. It's haunting wisdom that shocks viewers to their core, sure, but he has some interesting philosophies that match him perfectly with Batman.
Simply put, the Joker wants to bring the world to its knees with his fiery chaos, but he's also acutely aware of that madness and meticulously plans a lot of his schemes. This self-awareness is seen when he says, "Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push. This line comes up a couple of times in Batman Begins. Firstly, Rachel says, "It's not who you are underneath but what you do that defines you.
The line essentially says that actions speak louder than words. Bruce Wayne might be a broody, tormented billionaire orphan in his private life, tortured by his internal moral compass, but as long as he fights crime and does the right thing as Batman, he will be defined as a hero. It often gets said that too many villains spoil a superhero movie. However, if they're used correctly, they can work wonders for the movie. Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino - The Lion King.
