Various and sundry (Dark Knight)

I psyched myself up so much about The Dark Knight, that I started watching clips on YouTube (some of them illicit). Thoughts:

+ Gary Oldman's understated performance as Lt Gordon is perfect.

+ I've always thought of Alfred as a proper English butler, but Michael Caine's accent is more common.

+ This interview with Christopher Nolan talks about a conscious choice to show more of Batman and his fighting style.

+ In this interview, Heath Ledger seems very unsettled, fidgety. Foreshadowing?
