"The title has been chosen very specifically. It's quite important to the film," Nolan informed BetterThanFudge.com. The helmer coyly declined to elaborate further on that meaning, saying, "I'll leave that for people to infer."

Nolan did address some of themes of the next installment. Whereas the first film addressed confronting fear and the meaning of justice versus revenge, The Dark Knight is "about things having to get worse before they get better."

While he would not go into great detail about The Joker, to be played by Oscar nominee Heath Ledger in the sequel, Nolan did advise fans that Alan Moore's classic graphic novel The Killing Joke won't be the only influence on the sequel's depiction of the Clown Prince of Crime.

"I also would point very much to the first two appearances of the Joker in the comic. If you look at where the Joker comes from there's a very clear direction that fits what we're doing very well," Nolan said.
