The Dark Knight Rises: 5 Reasons Why Lucius Fox Is Batman's Unsung Hero

2. He's One Cool Dude

Come on, the guy€™s got style! There are few men who can pull off Bowties (Matt Smith, James Bond€), but Fox is one of them. He€™s a snappy dresser, that Lucius. Every time we see him, he€™s calm, and in control, or at least seems it even when he€™s not. When things go wrong, he€™s the kind of guy I want running my company and tooling me up. For example, when Kyle Reese uncovers who The Batman is, Lucius talks him down without ever raising his voice, but rather with a very coolly delivered threat that ends with a smile, a chuckle an a patronising putdown. Compares this to€ €œWHERE€™S THE TRIGGER? WHERE IS IT?!?€, or €œWHERE WERE THE OTHERS DRUGS GOING?€, or €œWHERE IS HE?€€ you get my point. His reactions to situations, his delivery of lines, his dress sense, his handling of crises€ Remember his comeback when he is made CEO of Wayne Enterprises? €œDidn€™t you get the memo?€ Man, that kills me every time. Rack up how many of these little moments Fox gets in comparison to Alfred and Gordon, and we can clearly see Fox comes out on top in this respect.
