Christopher Nolan loves to start his movies on some sort of semi-unrelated action sequence and The Dark Knight’s is one of the best. His bank heist is incredibly propulsive and constantly shocking, both as it begins, as the clowns all kill each other, and eventually how it resolves, with Joker being revealed and escaping in a bus.
